Savage Gear never fails to deliver on cool baits made for pike fishing, and their new 3D Whitefish Shad is no exception! Based on the scan of a real white fish, this loose-body paddle tail lure features immaculate details and a fantastic rolling and kicking action. The bulky head and front body push a lot of water and give the lure great stability on shallow rigging. The articulated and super realistic fins add great secondary action to the large kicking paddle tail, which also holds a noisy glass rattle for extra attraction. It is Made from a super soft PVC material with stunning colors and a triggering scent.
The 27cm size in full glory, ready for the big pike fishing!
The 3D Whitefish Shad comes in four different sizes, namely a 175mm, 200mm 230mm, and a 270mm softbait, which immediately covers all pike fishing aspects! The baits are super realistic and the custom colors have some fantastic reflections in the water, as you can already see from the cover shot above.
The 3D Whitefish shad comes in some fantastic colors!
There is a pretty large range of colors available so for everyone, there is something to add to their tackle box when it comes to targeting various waters and clarities. Of course, you can rig them in a wide variety of ways, but as always, they are rigged with The System from Pikecraft Fishing. This shallow screw fits any kind of softbait out there, and the 3D Whitefish shad is no exception. As you can already see from its realistic profile it looks like a fish, and due to the use of The System, this softbait has a crazy realistic walk in the water. It tilts from left to right, leaving the pike flabbergasted with a super smooth rolling action that will trigger strikes without a doubt!
The 23cm variant, again two fantastic holographic colors!
On the smaller sizes to be more precise the 230mm version I like to use 2/0 treble hooks and a lead-free weight which is also available from Pikecraft. On the larger sizes goes a 3/0 treble. You can also fish weightless but I always like to add a little bit of weight so it goes nose down on the drop. Below you can see a rigging video, and how you can easily rig these 3D Whitefish shads with The System as well!
Goodluck on the water,
Christian Drost
