Savage Gear Cast Hacker Crankbaits 9.5cm 1–10m 26g Mackerel Ayu Loose Scales

Savage Gear Cast Hacker 9.5cm FS — Ultra-Long Casting for Saltwater Predators

The Savage Gear Cast Hacker 9.5cm FS in Mackerel Ayu Loose Scales is a compact, thru-wired longcast pencil built to fool even wary saltwater predators while standing up to serious game fish. At just 26g, this lure punches out to 120 metres, letting you cover vast areas from shore or hit feeding frenzies from a distance offshore.

Vivid Falling Action That Triggers Strikes

The FS (Fast Sinking) model features VMS (Vivid Movement System) — a lively, erratic action on the fall that provokes bites even from lethargic fish. Work it with slower twitches for a wounded baitfish presentation, or retrieve fast with the rod high to create an amazing skipping action across the surface. The tungsten weighting and built-in rattle add attraction in low-visibility conditions.

Reinforced Thru-Wire Construction for Saltwater Toughness

Savage Gear engineered the Cast Hacker with a super-compact reinforced thru-wire design that can handle the brute force of grouper, snapper, and other hard-fighting saltwater species. Two SGY Saltwater UAR 4X NP size-5 treble hooks deliver rock-solid hooksets and corrosion resistance, while the small profile fools selective feeders without sacrificing strength.

Choose the Right Variant

The Cast Hacker range offers two action styles and three sizes to match conditions and target species:

• 9.5cm FS (26g) — runs 1–10m; vivid falling action; ideal for slower twitching and surface skipping; best for inshore predators and moderate depths

• 9.5cm XS (32g) — runs 1.5–15m; very fast dead-fish fall; longer casts; more aggressive twitching; cuts through currents to reach deeper spots quickly

• 11.5cm FS (44g) — runs 1–15m; vivid falling action; mid-size baitfish profile for larger predators in moderate depths

• 11.5cm XS (63g) — runs 2–30m; fast sinking; reaches deep structure and works in strong currents

• 13cm FS (73g) — runs 1.5–25m; vivid falling action; bigger profile for trophy fish and offshore work

• 13cm XS (93g) — runs 2–50m; dead-fish fall; maximum depth and distance; handles extreme conditions and active feeding windows

FS models suit calmer conditions, lazy fish, and visual surface tactics; XS models excel in current, wind, deep water, and when predators are aggressively feeding.
