Savage Gear Cannibal Shad 8cm 5g Fluorescent Yellow Glow

Savage Gear Cannibal Shad 8cm 5g — proven action that triggers strikes

One of the most popular paddle-tail shads for decades, the Cannibal Shad 8cm combines a lively swimming action with remarkable ease of use. Whether fished on the drop or retrieved steadily, this versatile softbait triggers strikes from perch, trout, pike, zander, and more.

Lively action on drop and retrieve

The 8cm body and paddle tail generate an enticing swimming action the moment the lure hits the water. The shad kicks naturally both as it sinks and during the retrieve, mimicking the erratic movements of baitfish that predators can't resist.

Enhanced with sparkle, UV, and scent

This Fluorescent Yellow Glow variant features Savage Gear's updated injection technology, delivering triple, twin, and firetail colour injections with added sparkle and UV activity. The built-in strike-triggering scent increases attraction, helping you land more fish in varying light and water conditions.
