SAVAGE GEAR 3D Smash Tail Minnow 17cm hard lure
A surface lure designed to trigger a reaction from large predators
The SAVAGE GEAR 3D Smash Tail Minnow 17cm hard lure was developed to create maximum surface disturbance during a steady retrieve. Its simple presentation immediately sets the lure in motion, with a rotating tail fin that strikes the water with each turn to produce a thudding noise and very visible surface disturbance behind the lure.
A powerful and distinctive sound signature
One of this model's key strengths lies in its acoustic attraction. The noise generated by the rear rotation is enhanced by an exclusive rivet mounted on the propeller blade. This system produces a distinct sound signal capable of attracting the attention of large predators even at a distance, especially when fish are active in the surface layers.
A realistic and aggressive imitation
3D design inspired by a baby trout
Designed on the basis of a small trout, this lure benefits from a realistic profile that reinforces its visual credibility. This natural silhouette, combined with strong surface agitation, allows it to combine imitation and stimulation — triggering both opportunistic strikes and territorial reactions.
A design adapted to surface fishing
Its floating ABS body allows the lure to remain perfectly in the right water column, where its effectiveness is greatest. The soft dorsal fin contributes to the overall realism, while the semi-rigid rotating tail fin mounted on a stainless steel axle ensures reliable and consistent rotation, even at sustained retrieves.
A simple lure to use and deadly on a straight retrieve
Effective without complex presentation
The SAVAGE GEAR 3D Smash Tail Minnow 17cm hard lure stands out for its ease of use. A straight retrieve is all it takes to activate its sound and visual mechanics. It thus becomes an excellent choice for quickly covering ground, exploring margins, shallows or cluttered areas, while seeking an immediate reaction from predators.
Arming ready for violent strikes
Fitted with two ultra-sharp treble hooks, this lure offers an excellent level of hook-set reliability. This configuration helps convert more decisive surface strikes — which are often violent — while keeping a good hold on the fish during the fight.
