Savage Gear Cannibal Shad 8cm 5g Holographic Baitfish

Savage Gear Cannibal Shad 8cm 5g – versatile paddle tail for multiple species

The Cannibal Shad 8cm 5g in Holographic Baitfish is a proven paddle tail shad that delivers lively action both on the drop and on the retrieve. This 5-piece pack combines ease of use with consistent catch rates, making it a reliable choice for targeting perch, trout, pike, zander, and more in freshwater.

Lively action triggers strikes

The soft paddle tail generates an enticing swimming motion that activates as soon as the lure enters the water. Whether you're letting it sink or retrieving it steadily, the Cannibal Shad maintains a natural, fish-attracting movement. The incorporated scent further stimulates bites, especially in pressured waters or when fish are cautious.

Enhanced colour technology with UV activity

This version features an updated injection process that adds sparkle, glitter, and UV-active elements to the Holographic Baitfish pattern. The UV properties increase visibility in deeper or stained water, while the reflective finish imitates baitfish scales. These details help the lure stand out without appearing unnatural.

Choose the right variant

The Cannibal Shad series offers multiple sizes and colours to match different conditions and target species:

• 6.8cm / 3g – ideal for perch, small trout, and finesse presentations in clear water or shallow zones

• 8cm / 5g (this model) – versatile all-rounder for perch, trout, zander, and smaller pike; effective in rivers, lakes, and canals

• 10cm / 9g – steps up the profile for zander, pike, and larger trout; works well in moderate current and deeper structure

• 12.5cm / 20g – targets pike, zander, and big perch; suitable for jigging or steady retrieves over deeper water

• 15cm / 33g – designed for pike and zander in open water or heavy cover; strong enough for aggressive retrieves
