Savage Gear 3D Herring Shad 15cm 23g Green/Silver

Savage Gear 3D Herring Shad — lifelike swimbait for pike and zander

The Savage Gear 3D Herring Shad is based on a 3D scan of a real Baltic herring and imitates many freshwater prey fish like whitefish and roach. This soft swimbait combines immaculate detail with a rolling, kicking paddle-tail action that triggers strikes in both fresh and brackish water.

Photo-realistic detail and strike-triggering scent

Every scale, fin, and contour is captured in stunning clarity thanks to 3D scanning technology and photo-printed colours. Soft, flexible eyes and articulated belly fins add secondary movement that complements the paddle tail's vigorous kick. The lure is infused with anise scent to boost attraction, while a glass rattle slot in the tail produces audible vibrations that draw predators from a distance.

Versatile rigging with belly slot and stinger compatibility

A discrete belly slot lets you snug in a stinger rig for a weedless presentation, keeping hooks concealed until the strike. The super-soft PVC body compresses naturally on the take, ensuring solid hooksets even with offset hooks. You can fish the lure on a jig head, weighted swimbait hook, or custom stinger setup depending on cover and target species.
