Savage Gear Ned Dragon Tail Slug 8.8cm 4g Watermelon Red

Savage Gear Ned Dragon Tail Slug 8.8cm — precision finesse for pressured predators

The Ned Dragon Tail Slug 8.8cm combines the proven NED rig technique with intelligent creature design. Its hyper-ribbed body delivers subtle micro-movements in the water, while the super-soft Duratech material floats the bait vertically at the slightest rod twitch—triggering strikes from cautious perch, bass, and other freshwater predators.

Floating finesse with built-in attraction

This 4g slug floats upright from your jig head, creating a natural defensive posture that predators can't ignore. The integrated rattle chamber accepts the included removable glass rattle, letting you adjust sound output to match conditions. Salt infusion and scent add chemical attraction, while the buoyant material keeps the bait hovering above snags when you pause your retrieve.

Versatile rigging for any cover

Mount the Ned Dragon Tail Slug on a dedicated NED jig head for open water or rig it Texas-style on an EWG hook to crawl through vegetation and structure. The ribbed body grips your hook securely and produces vibration on every movement. Whether you're working rocky bottoms, weed edges, or dock pilings, this bait adapts to your presentation.

• 10cm / 5.5g – maximum profile for larger predators and deeper water; pairs with heavier jig heads for current or distance casting
