Savage Gear Craft Bleak Clam Softbait 10cm 6.8g Dark Water Mix

Savage Gear Craft Bleak – lifelike soft swimbait for perch, zander, pike

The Craft Bleak 10 cm combines the natural profile of a bleak minnow with a slim body design that excels in fast currents and active retrieves. Its flanking and kicking action triggers strikes on both the retrieve and drop, while the scent-infused plastic and versatile rigging options make it a reliable choice for freshwater predators.

Slim profile for speed and hookups

The streamlined body cuts through the water quickly, making it ideal for covering water fast or fishing in strong current. Despite the slim design, the hook-up rate remains high thanks to the flexible tail section and balanced weight distribution.

Flanking action that triggers strikes

On the retrieve, the paddle tail delivers a tight, rolling flank action that imitates a fleeing baitfish. During the drop, the lure kicks and flutters, giving predators a second chance to strike. The scent infusion adds an extra trigger for hesitant fish.

Choose the right variant

The Craft Bleak is available in three sizes and two colour mixes to match water clarity and target species:

• 7 cm / 2.5 g – finesse presentations for perch and smaller zander in clear or pressured water

• 8.5 cm / 4.2 g – all-round size for perch, trout, and zander in moderate current

• 10 cm / 6.8 g (this model) – versatile choice for perch, zander, and pike in faster water or when fish are feeding on mid-sized baitfish

• 12 cm / 11.8 g – larger profile for pike and big zander in open water or when targeting larger prey

• Dark Water Mix (this model) – five high-contrast colours (Firecracker, Lemon Glow Firetail, White Pearl Flash, Olive Hot Orange, Chartreuse Pumpkin) for stained or murky conditions

• Clear Water Mix – five natural tones (Bleak, Holo Baitfish, Roach, Motoroil UV, Green Pearl Yellow) for clear water and neutral light
