Savage Gear Flying Minnow 8.5g 10cm Clear Roach

Savage Gear Flying Minnow — triggers even the wariest predators

The Clear Roach variant combines a translucent body with realistic roach markings to imitate natural prey. With tiny rod taps, this pre-rigged darting minnow flies erratically from side to side through the water column, triggering strikes from perch, zander, pike and seabass.

Erratic darting action provokes reaction strikes

Unlike traditional minnows, the Flying Minnow shoots left and right with minimal effort, imitating a panicked baitfish trying to escape. This unpredictable movement pattern triggers aggressive strikes even when predators are cautious. The sinking design lets you work depths from 1.3 to 4.5 m, making it effective across varied structures and water columns.

Ready to fish straight from the pack

Each lure arrives fully rigged with an ultra-sharp black nickel single hook (size 2/0) and includes a spare body. The UV-active Clear Roach pattern adds visibility in low-light conditions and stained water. No tying, no assembly — simply clip on and start fishing.
