Savage Gear Gobster Shad 7.5cm 5g Firecracker

Savage Gear Gobster Shad 7.5cm – Massive turbulence in a compact profile

This goby-inspired shad creates powerful vibrations and turbulence that trigger aggressive strikes from perch, pike, zander and other predators. Its flat profile and super-kicking paddle tail deliver an irresistible swimming action even at slow retrieves.

Flat profile with explosive kick action

The Gobster Shad's compressed body and aggressive paddle tail generate huge water displacement for a lure this size. Crafted details and multi-injection colour patterns mimic natural goby prey, while the strike-triggering scent adds an extra edge when fish follow but hesitate.

Ultimate rigging versatility

The integrated back slot lets you fish this shad completely weedless with offset or EWG hooks when working through heavy cover. Switch to a standard jig head for open water or vertical presentations – the action stays consistent across all rigging styles.

Choose the right variant

The Gobster Shad is available in three sizes to match different prey profiles and predator moods:

• 7.5cm / 5g (current model) – ideal for perch, smaller zander and cautious pike in pressured or clear water; pairs perfectly with 1/0–2/0 offset hooks or light jig heads

• 9cm / 9g – all-round size for perch, zander and pike across most conditions; works well on 2/0–3/0 hooks or medium jig heads

• 11.5cm / 16g – targeting larger zander and pike, especially in murky water or when predators are feeding on bigger baitfish; suits 3/0–4/0 hooks or heavier jig heads
