SAVAGE GEAR, SAVAGE SQUID The most realistic lures on this Savage planet
Fishing tackle
manufacturer, Savage
Gear, continues to lead
the fi shing industry with
its impressive portfolio of
ultra-realistic lures. Under
the spotlight is Savage Gear’s
brand new 3D Swim Squid
which features incredible
fi ne details and superior
innovative features which has
made this lure the talk of the
town at the recent EFTTEX
and ICAST trade shows.
The squid has always
been known as a favourite
food source amongst many
predatory fi sh so it makes
perfect sense to replicate, as
near to true life, a lure that
will fool saltwater predators.
The main things that fi sh fi nd
irresistible about the squid
is, that as a meal, it has high
amounts of protein and fat
in its body and the fact that
it is not a very fast swimmer,
meaning it’s an easy target.
The squid has “wings” which
enable it to hover through the
water, but even so, In terms of
swimming speed; the squid is
quite slow and has nowhere
to hide. If the squid needs a
quick escape, it folds out its
arms to shoot through the
water, but even this is just
a temporary solution and
doesn’t make for an effective
escape route. This makes it
a perfect target food source
for tuna, bluefi sh, leerfi sh,
barracuda and many other
squid eaters.
