Savage Gear Sandeel V2 14cm 33g

Savage Gear Sandeel V2 14cm 33g – The Ultimate Big Water Predator Lure

When the tide is ripping and the bigger predators are patrolling the depths, you need a lure that commands attention. Here at Gerry’s Fishing, we’ve seen the Savage Gear Sandeel V2 become a staple in every serious angler’s tackle box. This 14cm, 33g version is the “heavy hitter” of the range, specifically designed to reach deeper water and stay in the strike zone when smaller lures simply can’t cope.

Masterful Design and Realistic Action

The Sandeel V2 is more than just a soft plastic; it is a precision-engineered hunting tool. The most striking feature is its lively kicking action, which triggers a predatory response on both the steady retrieve and the “drop.” This means the lure is fishing for you from the second it hits the water until it leaves it.

The unique darting jig head design allows for a perfect rolling motion that mimics a panicked sandeel trying to escape. To ensure your lure survives the most aggressive strikes, Savage Gear has integrated the Pro Peg body holder. By using the supplied toothpicks to “peg” the body to the head, you create a rock-solid connection that prevents the tail from being pulled down the hook, letting you focus on the fight rather than fixing your gear.

Technical Specifications

Where to Use the 33g Sandeel V2

• Offshore Wreck & Reef: The 33g weight makes this the perfect choice for vertical jigging over wrecks for Cod and Pollack. It cuts through the water column quickly to reach the fish holding deep.

• Heavy Surf & Estuary Mouths: When fishing from the shore in heavy swells or strong tidal races, the extra weight provides the casting distance and stability needed to hold your position in the water.

• Trophy Bass Hunting: The 14cm profile is the ideal “snack size” for larger, specimen-sized Bass that are looking for a substantial meal rather than a small snack.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: The Acoustic Edge

Gerry’s Pro Tip: The internal glass rattle is a secret weapon in murky UK waters. However, on those rare days when the water is crystal clear and the fish are “spooky,” try removing the rattle. This creates a silent, stealthy presentation that can often fool the wariest of predators that have seen every other lure in the book.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this lure suitable for Pike and Zander?

Absolutely. While it’s a legend in the salt, the 14cm Sandeel V2 is a fantastic profile for freshwater predators. The 33g weight allows you to fish deep European-style lakes or fast-flowing rivers with ease.

What is the benefit of the tin-finished hook?

Saltwater is brutal on terminal tackle. The tin finish on the forged carbon steel hook provides a massive boost in corrosion resistance, ensuring your hook points stay sharper for longer compared to standard black nickel finishes.

How many spare bodies come in the pack?

Each pack contains one rigged lure (head and body) plus one spare matching tail, giving you two bodies in total to keep you fishing through the session
