Savage Gear Cannibal Shad 17.5cm 52g Lemon Cracker

Savage Gear Cannibal Shad 17.5cm 52g – lively action for big pike and zander

The Cannibal Shad has earned its reputation as one of the most effective paddle tail shads on the market. The 17.5 cm size delivers lively swimming action both on the drop and during retrieval, triggering strikes from predators in a wide range of conditions.

Versatile paddle tail for multiple species

This 52 g shad targets pike, zander, catfish, trout, perch, and even saltwater species like cod. The soft body produces natural movement at various retrieve speeds, while the strike-triggering scent helps convince hesitant fish to bite. UV-active materials increase visibility in murky water and low-light conditions.

Enhanced colour technology

Savage Gear's updated injection technology brings triple, twin, and firetail colour combinations with added sparkle and glitter. The Lemon Cracker pattern combines chartreuse and yellow tones with reflective elements, creating high visibility in stained water and during dawn or dusk sessions.
