Savage Gear Barra Jerk 17.5cm 0.5–1m 25g Sardine

Savage Gear Barra Jerk 17.5cm 25g Floating — Sardine — Specialist saltwater jerkbait built around baby barracuda

Baby barracuda are irresistible prey for snappers, bluefish, amberjacks, leerfish, groupers — and cannibalistic barracuda themselves. The Savage Gear Barra Jerk (jerkbait) in 17.5cm floating replicates that slim, vulnerable profile with precision detail, and its versatile action puts more of these predators in the net.

Long-distance casting with tungsten weight transfer

A sophisticated internal weight transfer system — tungsten steel balls combined with fixed weights at key positions — loads the lure toward the tail on the cast for a long, stable flight. A magnet holder snaps the balls back into position mid-retrieve, restoring the lure's action immediately and maintaining consistent swimming behaviour even in strong winds or rough conditions.

Pentagon lip action that works with any retrieve

The new pentagon-shaped lip delivers a strong, flashy, and lifelike swimming action on the move, while the reinforced body handles the teeth of serious saltwater predators without issue. Whether you twitch with a high rod, jerk aggressively with a low rod, or burn it back super-fast or let it crawl super-slow, the Barra Jerk produces fish-attracting movement and suspends naturally on the pause — a key trigger for wary predators.

Choose the right variant

The Barra Jerk range spans three body lengths and three buoyancy options, letting you match lure size and running depth to species and conditions.
