Savage Gear Craft Bleak Clam 8.5cm 4.2g Roach

Savage Gear Craft Bleak 8.5cm – Realistic Minnow Profile for Multiple Predators

The Roach variant of the Craft Bleak combines natural flash and contrast to trigger strikes in clear and lightly stained water. Modelled on the body shape of a bleak minnow, this soft bait delivers an irresistible flanking and kicking action on both retrieve and drop.

Slim Body for Fast Water and Strong Currents

The streamlined 8.5 cm profile cuts through fast-flowing rivers and heavy current with ease, maintaining action even at high retrieve speeds. The slim design also ensures excellent hook-up rates when fish strike from the side or rear.

Versatile Flanking and Kicking Action

Whether you're jigging vertically, casting and retrieving, or fishing on the drop, the Craft Bleak produces a realistic swimming motion that appeals to perch, zander, pike, and trout. The tail kicks aggressively while the body flanks from side to side, mimicking a fleeing baitfish.

Choose the Right Variant

The Craft Bleak series is available in three lengths and two colour families to match your water conditions and target species:

• 7 cm / 2.5 g (5 pc) – small baitfish profile for perch, trout, and cautious zander in pressured waters or cold conditions; rig on light jig heads (1–3 g) or small EWG hooks

• 8.5 cm / 4.2 g (5 pc) – all-round size for perch, zander, pike, and trout in rivers, canals, and lakes; pairs with 3–7 g jig heads or medium EWG hooks; includes Roach variant

• 10 cm / 6.8 g (5 pc) – larger profile for zander and pike in open water or deeper structure; use 5–10 g jig heads or heavier EWG rigs

• 12 cm / 11.8 g (4 pc) – big-bait option for pike, large zander, and trout; rig with 7–14 g jig heads or stout EWG hooks for weedless presentations

• Clear Water Mix (Bleak, Holo Baitfish, Roach, Motoroil UV, Green Pearl Yellow) – natural and subtle colours for transparent or lightly stained conditions

• Dark Water Mix (Firecracker, Lemon Glow Firetail, White Pearl Flash, Olive Hot Orange, Chartreuse Pumpkin) – high-visibility patterns for murky water, low light, or active feeding windows
