Savage Gear Craft Shad 8.8cm 4.2g Perch

Savage Gear Craft Shad 8.8 cm — Lifelike soft bait that fools even wary predators

The Craft Shad mirrors a real bleak so convincingly that predators won't hesitate. Its slender body, soft realistic eyes, and hand-painted details make it one of the most detailed soft lures on the market, while the distinctive T-tail kicks and rolls vigorously on both retrieve and drop.

Handcrafted realism that triggers strikes

Every Craft Shad is meticulously painted and detailed to replicate natural baitfish. The soft, lifelike eyes and intricate scale patterns create an authentic profile that perch, pike, and zander recognize instantly. This attention to detail turnsFollows into confident bites, especially in clear water or when targeting pressured fish.

Slim profile for depth and current

The long, slender body and tail bridge cut through water with minimal resistance, making the 8.8 cm version ideal for fishing deeper zones or working in current. The T-tail design generates a tight, vigorous kick and roll on the retrieve and continues working as the lure drops, triggering reaction strikes throughout the water column.

Choose the right variant

The Craft Shad is available in three sizes and multiple colours to match your target species and conditions:

• 7.2 cm / 2.6 g — smallest profile for perch, asp, and trout in shallow to mid-depth water; ideal for finesse presentations

• 8.8 cm / 4.2 g (this model) — versatile mid-size Perch colour for perch, zander, and pike in deeper water or current; balanced for jig heads 3–7 g

• 10 cm / 6 g — largest option for zander, pike, and big perch in deep water, strong current, or low-light conditions; pairs with jig heads 5–10 g
