Savage Gear Cannibal Shad 8cm 5g Motor Oil UV

Savage Gear Cannibal Shad 8cm 5g Motor Oil UV — Proven paddle tail for predator fishing

The Savage Gear Cannibal Shad 8 cm has earned its reputation as one of the most popular soft baits over decades of consistent performance. The Motor Oil UV variant combines a translucent base with UV-active sparkle and glitter for enhanced visibility in varied light conditions.

Lively action on drop and retrieve

The paddle tail generates an enticing swimming action whether you're working it actively or letting it sink. The responsive tail kick triggers strikes from perch, pike, zander, trout, and other predators in freshwater. The 5 g weight allows precise casting and controlled descent through the water column.

Triple-injection colour with strike-triggering scent

Savage Gear's injection technology creates the Motor Oil UV pattern with built-in sparkle, glitter, and UV additives that remain visible in low light and deeper water. The soft plastic material is infused with scent to encourage predators to hold on longer after the initial strike.
