Savage Gear Gobster Shad 11.5cm 16g Dark Water Mix

Savage Gear Gobster Shad 11.5cm — Power and Vibration for Perch, Pike, and Zander

The 11.5cm Gobster Shad in Dark Water Mix delivers intense vibration and turbulence with its flat, goby-inspired profile. This 16g paddle-tail swimbait creates maximum attraction in murky water conditions, triggering aggressive strikes from perch, pike, zander, and other freshwater predators.

Flat Profile with Explosive Kicking Action

The flat body design generates strong water displacement and highly visible vibrations that predators detect from a distance. The oversized paddle tail delivers a powerful kicking action on the retrieve, mimicking the erratic movements of a fleeing goby. Twin and triple injection colours create natural depth and realism, while the strike-triggering scent encourages longer holds.

Versatile Rigging for Every Situation

A pre-cut weedless slot on the back allows snag-free presentations with offset hooks and EWG hooks, perfect for fishing heavy cover, weed beds, and shallow structure. The compact body also pairs seamlessly with jig heads for vertical jigging and bottom-contact techniques. Whether you're fishing around rocks, through vegetation, or over open water, the Gobster Shad adapts to your setup.
