Savage Gear Barra Jerk 17.5cm 0.5–1m 25g Gold Anchovy

Savage Gear Barra Jerk 17.5cm — Purpose-Built Saltwater Jerkbait for Serious Predator Hunters

The Barra Jerk 17.5cm Floating in Gold Anchovy is a slim, highly detailed saltwater jerkbait modelled on a juvenile barracuda — one of the most irresistible forage profiles for snappers, amberjacks, leerfish, groupers, bluefish, and cannibalistic large barracuda across coastal and open-water environments.

Long Casts, Stable Flight

A sophisticated weight transfer system combines tungsten steel balls with fixed weights at key positions to deliver a long, controlled flight even into a headwind. A magnet holder locks the weight in place during the cast and releases it cleanly on entry, so the lure swims true from the very first retrieve.

Versatile Action with a Natural Pause

The new pentagon lip generates a strong, flashy, and lifelike swimming action across a wide range of retrieves — fast cranking, slow twitching, sharp jerks with a high or low rod all produce compelling movement. At every stop the lure holds a perfectly natural, horizontal position, imitating a stunned baitfish and giving predators the easy target they need to commit. Running depth is 0.5–1m, keeping the lure in the strike zone across shallow flats, reef edges, and inshore structure. The reinforced body withstands the teeth of large saltwater predators session after session.

Choose the Right Variant

The Barra Jerk family spans three body lengths and multiple buoyancy options to match different depths, casting distances, and target species. Hook configuration and running depth vary across variants.

• Barra Jerk 17.5cm 25g Floating — Gold Anchovy (this lure): floating, 25g, 0.5–1m depth, single hook #4, 3 hooks total; compact profile for shallower inshore spots and situations where a smaller baitfish silhouette is needed

• Barra Jerk 17.5cm 25g Floating — Sardine / Bloody Pearl / Barracuda / Pennywise / Sayoris: same size and weight, floating, 0.5–1m; various hook setups (treble or single #4) — colour selection for different light and water clarity conditions
