Savage Gear Fat Minnow T-Tail 9cm 7g Smelt

Savage Gear Fat Minnow T-Tail — lifelike action for clear water

The Savage Gear Fat Minnow T-Tail in Smelt delivers a pronounced kicking and rolling action that mimics a fleeing baitfish. Crafted with finely detailed features and a wide profile, this 9 cm paddle tail works perfectly with both ball and stand-up jig heads.

Realistic swimming action

The T-tail paddle design generates an irresistible kicking and rolling motion on every retrieve. The wide body profile sits securely on a variety of jig heads, while the integrated rattle slot in the belly lets you add sound to trigger strikes in low-visibility conditions.

Twin-injection colour and versatile rigging

Made with multi-layered injection colours, the Smelt pattern offers subtle flash and translucency ideal for clear water. The sinking design keeps your lure in the strike zone, and the body accepts jig heads as well as a belly rattle insert for added attraction. Effective on perch, zander, pike, and other freshwater predators.
