Savage Gear Barra Jerk 17.5cm 0.6–1.2m 29g Pink Barracuda

Savage Gear Barra Jerk — The Saltwater Jerkbait Built to Deceive Apex Predators

Baby barracuda are irresistible to a wide range of saltwater predators — snappers, bluefish, amberjacks, leerfish, groupers, and even larger, cannibalistic barracudas. The Savage Gear Barra Jerk replicates that silhouette with deadly precision, and the 17.5 cm / 29 g sinking version in Pink Barracuda is a standout choice for anglers targeting these species in the Mediterranean and beyond.

Maximum Distance, Stable Flight

A sophisticated weight transfer system combining tungsten steel balls with fixed weights at key positions delivers a long, stable cast even into a headwind. Once it lands, a magnet holder keeps the internal weights locked for instant, reliable action — critical when fish are active and every second counts.

Pentagon Lip, Versatile Retrieve, Natural Pause

The new pentagon lip generates a strong, flashy, lifelike swimming action that triggers reaction strikes across a wide range of retrieves. Twitch it with a high rod, jerk it low, burn it back, or crawl it — the Barra Jerk responds to every style and, crucially, holds a natural, horizontal position on the pause. That freeze moment is often when the bite comes. With a running depth of 0.6–1.2 m, this sinking model covers the upper water column efficiently on the drop and retrieve.
