Savage Gear Craft Dying Minnow 5.5cm 0.7g Blue Pearl

Savage Gear Craft Dying Minnow – lifelike action for finicky predators

Designed by Mads Grosell, the Craft Dying Minnow mimics a struggling baitfish with hand-painted details and a realistic soft eye. Its ultra-slim profile swims horizontally when rigged side-on, triggering strikes from perch, zander, and trout.

Side-rigged design for natural swimming

The super-thin body is engineered to swim side-down on jigheads or dropshot rigs, creating an authentic wounded-baitfish motion. Mount the hook through the side for a horizontal profile that exaggerates the paddle-tail action and draws attention in pressured waters.

Hand-crafted details that fool wary fish

Every Craft Dying Minnow features a large, lifelike eye and meticulous paint work that sets a new standard for soft plastics. The bleak-inspired shape and fine detailing give predators every visual cue they need to commit.
