Savage Gear Craft Bleak Clam Softbait 8.5cm 4.2g Dark Water Mix

Savage Gear Craft Bleak – lifelike softbait for active predators

The Savage Gear Craft Bleak in 8.5 cm captures the slim profile and natural movement of a bleak minnow. Its flanking and kicking action triggers strikes from perch, zander, pike, and trout in both clear and murky freshwater.

Slim body for fast retrieves and strong currents

The streamlined 8.5 cm body cuts through the water effortlessly, maintaining its strike-triggering action even during fast retrieves or when fishing in strong flow. The narrow profile ensures excellent hook-up rates on jigheads and EWG weedless rigs alike.

Unmissable flanking and kicking action

Whether you retrieve steadily or let it drop on a slack line, the Craft Bleak delivers a pronounced flanking and kicking motion that imitates a fleeing baitfish. The dual- and triple-injection colours enhance visual appeal, while the built-in scent adds an extra trigger for cautious predators.

Choose the right variant

The Craft Bleak series offers four 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 shallow water or pressured venues (Dark Water Mix, Clear Water Mix)

• 8.5 cm / 4.2 g – all-round choice for perch, zander, and pike in varied conditions; ideal for medium jigheads and dropshot (Dark Water Mix, Clear Water Mix)

• 10 cm / 6.8 g – heavier option for deeper water, larger predators, and stronger currents (Dark Water Mix, Clear Water Mix)

• 12 cm / 11.8 g – big-fish bait for pike and zander; excels in deep water and low-light conditions (Dark Water Mix, Clear Water Mix)

Dark Water Mix includes Firecracker, Lemon Glow Firetail, White Pearl Flash, Olive Hot Orange, and Chartreuse Pumpkin – five contrasting colours for stained or coloured water.
