Savage Gear Craft Shad 7.2cm (2.6g)

The perfect profile for perch of all shapes and sizes.

Most soft plastics look great on the pegs in a tackle shop, but they don't always do the business when they hit the water. The Savage Gear Craft Shad is different. Modelled directly from a real bleak, it features a super-slim body profile and a classic paddle tail that kicks beautifully on both the drop and the retrieve.

At 7.2cm long and weighing a nimble 2.6g, this is an absolute bank-runner of a lure. It is small enough to tempt a brilliant sport-sized canal perch, yet possesses the exact profile and action that a big, old river master cannot resist. It pairs up perfectly with a standard jig head, but it is also an absolute killer when rigged onto the Cheb or weedless setups included in our Modular Tackle System 2.0.

We’ve stripped the color options back to the three essential patterns you actually need to cover any water clarity or light condition:

• Roach: The ultimate natural pattern for clear water stealth. Perfect when the fish are dialed into silverfish fry.
• Perch: A brilliant, realistic cannibal profile. Big perch love eating small perch—it's as simple as that.
• Firetiger: High-contrast, bright visibility. This is your go-to when the water goes murky after rain or when you need to trigger an aggressive reaction strike in low light.
