Savage Gear Savage Minnow | 12.5cm (5″) | 35g

The Master of Deception: Realism That Triggers Instinct

When the fishing gets tough and the water is clear, you need a lure that doesn’t just look the part—it has to behave like the real thing. Here at Gerry’s Fishing, we’ve seen plenty of “shad” style lures, but the Savage Gear Savage Minnow is in a league of its own. It’s practically breathing.

Designed with a lively kicking action that works both on a steady retrieve and on the drop, this lure mimics a panicked baitfish perfectly. The secret weapon is the unique rise and stand-up jig head. On the retrieve, the lure “climbs” the water column naturally; when paused on the bottom, the head ensures the tail stays up, mimicking a small fish feeding on the seabed. This “stand-up” posture is a massive trigger for predators like Bass and Pike that are used to picking off easy meals from the floor.

Constructed from ultra-soft PVC and pre-rigged with a glass rattle, the Savage Minnow provides the visual, tactile, and auditory signals needed to draw a strike from distance.

Where to Use the Savage Minnow 35g

The 35g version is the “heavy hitter” of the range, making it ideal for:

Deep Water Ledge Fishing: Perfect for working the drop-offs where Pollack and Bass sit waiting for baitfish to be swept over.
Fast-Flowing Estuaries: The 35g head ensures you can get the lure down into the “kill zone” even when the tide is ripping through a channel.
Pike & Zander in Deep Reservoirs: The “stand-up” action is deadly for Zander on the bottom, while the rattle helps Pike locate the lure in murky water.
Morecambe & Coastline: Great for casting from the shore into deeper gulleys or off the rocks where you need that extra weight to punch through a headwind.

💡 Gerry’s Pro Tip

“The Pro Peg system is a game-changer. Savage Gear has designed the head with a small hole—don’t ignore it! Take a standard wooden toothpick, push it through the body and the head, and snap it off. It ‘pegs’ the plastic to the lead so securely that you can catch multiple fish without the body sliding down the hook. Also, if the water is a bit ‘colored’ or murky, go for the UV/Fluorescent colors; they catch the light in a way the human eye can’t see, but the fish absolutely notice!”

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the lure stand up on the bottom?

The jig head is specifically weighted and shaped to be “bottom-heavy” in a way that forces the tail upwards when it rests. This prevents the hook from snagging on the floor and makes the lure look like a small fish rooting for food—an irresistible target for a predator.

Are the hooks saltwater resistant?

While made of High Carbon Steel for maximum strength and sharpness, we always recommend a quick rinse with fresh water after a sea session. This preserves the “highly polished” point and prevents corrosion over time.

What is the ‘glass rattle’ for?

Inside the soft PVC body is a small glass capsule with a bead. As the tail kicks, it creates a subtle ‘clicking’ sound. In dark or silty water, fish use their lateral line to sense this vibration before they ever see the lure.

Can I use this for vertical jigging?

Absolutely. Because of the “rise and stand-up” design, it’s one of the best lures on the market for vertical work from a boat. It kicks just as well on a vertical lift as it does on a horizontal retrieve
