Savage Gear Flying Minnow 3.5g 7cm Firetiger

Savage Gear Flying Minnow 3.5g 7cm Firetiger — trigger strikes with erratic darting action

The Flying Minnow is a ready-to-fish darting minnow that provokes even the most cautious predators. With short twitches of the rod tip, this lure shoots from left to right through the water column, imitating a panicked baitfish trying to escape. The unique zigzag swimming action makes it an excellent search bait for perch, zander, pike, and sea bass.

Erratic darting action triggers aggressive strikes

Unlike traditional minnows that swim in predictable patterns, the Flying Minnow changes direction unpredictably with every twitch. This erratic left-to-right movement perfectly imitates a disoriented or injured prey fish, triggering instinctive strikes from predators. The UV-active Firetiger colour pattern adds extra visibility in stained water and low-light conditions.

Pre-rigged and ready with spare body included

Each pack contains one fully rigged lure plus a replacement soft body, so you can fish straight from the package. The ultra-sharp black nickel hook in size #1 ensures reliable hook-ups, while the sinking design lets you work different depths from 0.5 to 2.5 m depending on your retrieve speed and rod angle.

Choose the right variant

The Flying Minnow series offers three weight classes and multiple colour options to match your target species and conditions:

3.5 g / 7 cm (Firetiger, Goby, Bone, Clear Roach) — ideal for perch and smaller zander in shallow water (0.5–2.5 m), perfect for finesse presentations
5 g / 7 cm (Firetiger, Goby, Bone, Clear Roach) — better casting distance and deeper running depth (0.8–3.5 m) for medium-sized perch, zander, and pike
8.5 g / 10 cm (Goby, Firetiger, Bone, Clear Roach) — targets larger perch, zander, and pike at 1.3–4.5 m depth
12 g / 10 cm (Goby, Firetiger, Bone, Clear Roach) — for big predators in deeper water (2–6 m), effective on pike and sea bass
