Savage Gear Monster Shad 22cm 60g Green Smelt

Savage Gear Monster Shad — big-fish magnet with double-kick action

The Monster Shad 22cm 60g Green Smelt is a slim-profile paddle tail designed to provoke aggressive strikes from pike, zander, and other large predators. Inside paint, an air-filled rear chamber, and built-in glass rattles combine to create maximum visibility—on your echo sounder and in the water—while the unique double-kicking, slight S-curve swimming action triggers instinctive attacks.

Stands out on sonar and in the strike zone

Thanks to the air-filled rear body and integrated glass rattles, this lure shows up clearly on modern fish finders, helping you track depth and position. UV-active colors and inside paint technology ensure durability and enhanced visibility in varying light and water clarity, so predators can lock onto the bait from a distance.

Versatile rigging for shallow runs and deep drops

Fish the Monster Shad on a jig head for bottom-hugging presentations or rig it with a stinger hook for mid-water retrieves and open-water trolling. The anise scent adds extra attraction, and the balanced 60 g weight lets you cast far and maintain control even in current or wind.

Choose the right variant

The Monster Shad is available in two sizes and a wide range of proven colors to match forage and conditions:

• 18 cm / 33 g — ideal for smaller pike, zander, and perch in shallow to medium depths; easier to cast on medium-heavy tackle

• 22 cm / 60 g (this product) — built for trophy pike, large zander, and catfish; excels in deeper water, strong current, and open-water trolling

• Blue Silver UV, Dirty Roach, Perch, Golden Ambulance, Olive Green UV — natural baitfish patterns for clear water and wary predators

• Firetiger, Lemon Tiger, Motor Oil UV — high-contrast colors for stained water, low light, or active fish

• Pearl Shiner, Green Smelt — subtle flash for pressured waters and neutral predators
