Savage Gear Cannibal Shad Softbait 8cm 5g Perch

Savage Gear Cannibal Shad — Natural Perch Profile That Triggers Predators

The Savage Gear Cannibal Shad in Perch colour and 8 cm / 5 g delivers a lifelike silhouette and fluid swimming action that hard-bodied lures simply cannot match. One precisely weighted softbait ready to work a wide range of predator species and water columns.

Convincing Action on Every Retrieve

The Cannibal Shad's body taper and tail geometry produce a tight, rhythmic kick that stays consistent whether you're slow-rolling near the bottom or burning it through open water. The soft, durable material flexes naturally under pressure, keeping the lure alive even during a pause — a critical trigger moment for hesitant fish.

Versatile Across Species and Tactics

At 8 cm and 5 g, this Cannibal Shad sits in a sweet spot for perch, zander, pike, trout, and even cod. The Perch colour — with its natural green-and-orange tones — reads well in clear to lightly coloured water and imitates the small fish these predators key on. Rig it on a jig head, drop-shot weight, or weighted swimbait hook to suit the depth and current you're fishing.
