Savage Gear Cannibal Shad 6.8cm 3g Motor Oil UV

Savage Gear Cannibal Shad 6.8cm 3g — Proven versatility for multiple species

The Motor Oil UV variant delivers strike-triggering contrast and UV visibility in a compact package. This 6.8 cm paddle tail has earned its reputation as one of the most reliable soft baits for decades, combining ease of use with consistently high catch rates.

Lively action from drop to retrieve

The paddle tail generates natural swimming movement both as the lure sinks and during retrieval. This dual-phase action triggers strikes from perch, trout, pike, zander, and other predators throughout the water column. The soft material and balanced weight distribution ensure the shad responds to even subtle rod movements.

UV-active scent formula

Advanced injection technology delivers triple and twin colour layers with built-in sparkle and UV-active pigments. Motor Oil UV combines dark, translucent tones with ultraviolet visibility that stands out in low-light or stained water. A strike-triggering scent is embedded in the material to add chemical attraction alongside visual triggers.
