Savage Gear Cutbait Herring 20cm 270g S Red Head Shiner

Savage Gear Cutbait Herring 20cm 270g — Built for halibut and trophy cod

The Savage Gear Cutbait Herring delivers authentic herring action and profile that big Atlantic predators instinctively attack. Co-developed with Scandinavia's leading saltwater guides, this oversized paddle-tail swimbait drops like natural baitfish and triggers strikes from halibut, monster cod, and other deep-water predators.

Lifelike presentation from surface to seabed

The under-skin painting technique creates a three-dimensional color depth that mimics a real herring's translucent scales. Combined with a perfectly balanced body, the lure swims naturally on both the drop and retrieve, maintaining its action from 10 m down to 75 m. The paddle tail generates a realistic swimming motion even at slow speeds.

Premium Japanese hooks for big fish

Customised forged carbon hooks are built specifically for saltwater giants. The 8/0 big-fish bend hook offers exceptional penetration and holding power, matched to the lure's 270 g weight and 20 cm body. The single-hook setup reduces snagging while maximizing hookup ratio on powerful strikes.
