Savage Gear Needle Tracker 10cm 10g S Sardine

Savage Gear Needle Tracker — lifelike needlefish surface action

The Needle Tracker mimics a baby needlefish skimming the surface with its nose just out of the water, drawing strikes from predators hunting the upper layers. When fish are hesitant, switch to a walk-the-dog retrieve to create more disturbance and trigger aggressive reactions.

Realistic surface tracking

Designed to glide across the surface exactly like a real needlefish, this lure attracts attention from sea bass, saddled bream, needlefish, lichia, mahi mahi, mackerel, and other saltwater predators. The flat-sided body creates a bright flash with every movement while maintaining perfect water grip for stable tracking.

Long casting and easy handling

The 10 cm, 10 g sinking design allows long, accurate casts to reach distant feeding zones. Two SGU Saltwater UAR 3X NP trebles (size #10) provide secure hooksets on hard-striking saltwater species. The lure is versatile and beginner-friendly, making it equally effective for experienced anglers and those new to surface fishing.

Choose the right variant

The Needle Tracker 10 cm line offers seven color options tailored to different light conditions and baitfish patterns. All variants share the same 10 g weight, 10 cm length, sinking buoyancy, and 2 treble hook configuration:

• Sardine — natural silver-blue finish for clear water and bright days

• Snow Sardine — translucent white for low-light conditions or when fish prefer subtle colors

• Sayoris — pearl-white pattern mimicking halfbeak baitfish

• Red-Belly Sardine (RBS) — silver sides with red belly for added triggering effect

• Candy Fish — bright UV-reactive pattern for murky water or overcast skies

• Holographic Ayu — multi-color flash for pressured fish or variable light

• Bloody Mullet — wounded baitfish appearance to provoke reaction strikes
