Savage Gear 3D Smash Tail Minnow 17cm 72g Rudd

Savage Gear 3D Smash Tail Minnow 17cm 72g – Triggering Predators with Lifelike Tail Action

The Savage Gear 3D Smash Tail Minnow in Rudd combines a photorealistic profile with an aggressive tail kick that puts pike and zander on the hook. At 17cm and 72g, this is a serious lure for serious predator fishing.

Scanned from Nature, Built to Deceive

The hard ABS body is based on a full 3D scan of a real trout, giving it proportions and surface detail that imitate a live baitfish convincingly. The Rudd colour adds a natural warm-toned finish that works well in clear to lightly coloured water, mimicking a common prey fish that pike and perch regularly target.

Tail Action That Creates Noise and Vibration

The oversized tail generates strong water displacement on every retrieve, while a metal rivet inside the tail produces an audible click that attracts predators from a distance. This combination of visual movement and acoustic stimulus makes the lure effective even when visibility is poor or fish are holding deep and need extra encouragement to commit.

Choose the Right Variant

The 3D Smash Tail Minnow is available in two sizes and several colours, making it adaptable to different species, conditions, and setups:

• 13.5cm / 38g – Roach: compact profile for zander, perch, and smaller pike; natural baitfish colour for clear water

• 13.5cm / 38g – Perch: vertical stripes mimic perch fry; effective on large perch and zander in weedy or structured water

• 13.5cm / 38g – Black Ghost: high-contrast dark silhouette; low-light, murky water, or stained rivers

• 17cm / 72g – Rudd(this variant): full-sized predator lure in warm natural tone; pike, large zander, and big perch in open or mid-depth water

• 17cm / 72g – Roach: same large format with classic silver-white baitfish pattern; versatile across most clear-water predator scenarios

• 17cm / 72g – Perch: perch-imitation at full size; strong choice for pike in structured environments

• 17cm / 72g – Black Ghost: large dark lure for pike in turbid conditions or overcast light

• 17cm / 72g – Firetiger: high-visibility attractor colour for stained or fast water; good search lure when fish position is unknown
