Savage Gear Cannibal Shad 17.5cm 52g Blue Pearl

Savage Gear Cannibal Shad 17.5 cm / 52 g — Versatile Swimbait (Paddle Tail) for Large Freshwater Predators

The Cannibal Shad is one of the most proven paddle tail swimbaits on the market, and the 17.5 cm / 52 g size in Blue Pearl hits the sweet spot for pike, zander, catfish, and other large freshwater predators. Two lures per pack means you get straight into the water without hesitation.

Lively Action on the Drop and on the Retrieve

The paddle tail generates a wide, rhythmic kick that pulses through the water column whether the lure is sinking or being worked back to the rod. This dual-phase action keeps the bait in the strike zone longer and triggers predators that follow without committing — a decisive advantage when fish are neutral or slow.

UV-Active Finish and Strike-Triggering Scent

The Blue Pearl colour incorporates UV-active pigments that boost visibility in low-light conditions, coloured water, and at depth. A built-in strike-triggering scent adds an extra sensory layer that encourages hesitant fish to bite and hold on, giving you a fraction more time to set the hook.
