Savage Gear Barra Jerk 17.5cm 0.6–1.2m 29g Phantom Barracuda

Savage Gear Barra Jerk — The Saltwater Jerkbait Built Around Baby Barracuda

The Barra Jerk (Barracuda Jerkbait) is Savage Gear's most specialised saltwater hard lure, shaped precisely after a juvenile barracuda — one of the most irresistible meals for snappers, bluefish, amberjacks, leerfish, groupers, and even cannibalistic adult barracudas.

Distance and Stability on Every Cast

A sophisticated weight transfer system combines tungsten steel balls with fixed weights at key positions, delivering a long, stable flight even in crosswinds and rough coastal conditions. A magnet holder locks the weight during the cast and releases it on entry, ensuring the lure transitions immediately into its action the moment it hits the water.

Pentagon Lip Action That Works at Any Speed

The new pentagon-shaped lip generates a strong, wide-flashing, lifelike swimming action regardless of retrieve style. Twitch it high-rod, jerk it low-rod, burn it or crawl it — the Barra Jerk responds to all inputs and holds a perfectly natural suspended position on every pause. The reinforced body withstands the teeth of any toothy predator without distortion.

Choose the Right Variant

The Barra Jerk is available in three sizes and two buoyancy types. Match your choice to depth, target species, and conditions:

• Barra Jerk 17.5 cm / 29 g — Sinking — running depth 0.6–1.2 m — Phantom Barracuda — 3 treble hooks (#4) — the current product; sinking action pushes slightly deeper than the floating 17.5 cm version; ideal when fish are holding just below the surface film; effective across the full range of jerking and twitching techniques; colours also available: Joker Barra, Pink Belly Sardine, Pink Barracuda, Blue Mackerel, Green Barracuda
