Savage Gear Gobster Shad 7.5cm 5g Smelt

Savage Gear Gobster Shad 7.5cm – Goby Profile That Triggers Strikes

This flat-profile soft bait mimics a goby and creates massive turbulence with its powerful kicking paddle tail. The Smelt colour delivers natural baitfish appeal for perch, zander, pike and other predators in freshwater.

Flat Goby Profile With Extreme Vibration

The Gobster Shad's compressed body and aggressive paddle tail produce strong water displacement and vibration that pull in predators from a distance. Crafted details and twin- or triple-injection colours add realism, while the built-in scent triggers confident takes.

Weedless Rigging Ready

A dedicated back slot accepts offset hooks and EWG (Extra Wide Gap) hooks for snag-free presentation in weed, timber or rocks. You can also mount the Gobster Shad on a standard jig head for open-water finesse fishing or vertical jigging.

Choose the Right Variant

The Gobster Shad series offers three sizes and multiple colour options to match your target species and water conditions:

• 7.5 cm / 5 g – ideal for perch, small zander and trout in shallow water or pressured venues; rig on light jig heads (2–5 g) or small EWG hooks

• 9 cm / 9 g – all-round size for perch, zander and bass; works on medium jig heads or Texas rig setups

• 11.5 cm / 16 g – pike and larger zander; use heavier jig heads or offset hooks in deeper water and heavy cover
