Savage Gear Flying Minnow 8.5g 10cm Firetiger

Savage Gear Flying Minnow — triggers even the wariest predators

The Flying Minnow is a ready-to-fish darting minnow that excels at provoking reluctant strikes. With subtle rod taps it darts left and right through the water column, imitating a fleeing baitfish that triggers aggressive feeding responses.

Erratic darting action creates instant strikes

Small twitches send this lure flying from side to side in an unpredictable darting pattern that predators find irresistible. The unique zigzag swimming action mimics panicked prey trying to escape, making it particularly effective when fish are following but not committing to standard retrieves.

UV-active colours and razor-sharp hook

UV-active pigments enhance visibility in low-light conditions and stained water. The ultra-sharp black nickel size 2/0 hook ensures solid hooksets on powerful strikes. Each pack includes a spare body so you can continue fishing after toothy predators have done their worst.
