Savage Gear Cannibal Shad 8cm 5g Firecracker

Savage Gear Cannibal Shad 8cm 5g — proven paddle tail for more bites

One of the most trusted paddle tail shads in freshwater fishing, the Firecracker variant combines aggressive flash with reliable action. Its lively tail kick works both on the drop and during steady retrieves, making it effective across varying depths and speeds.

Catches multiple predator species

The 8 cm Cannibal Shad targets perch, trout, pike, zander, catfish, and other freshwater predators. The built-in scent triggers strikes even when fish are cautious, while the UV-active materials remain visible in stained water or low-light conditions.

Enhanced colour technology

Savage Gear's injection process delivers triple, twin, and firetail colour patterns with added sparkle and glitter. The Firecracker finish features high-contrast red and orange tones that provoke reaction strikes in both clear and murky environments.
