SAVAGE GEAR Mutant Rat SS 24 cm soft plastic lure

Savage Gear Mutant Rat 24 cm rigged soft plastic lure

An ultra-realistic rodent imitation for large pike

The Savage Gear Mutant Rat 24 cm is a hybrid lure specially developed to entice large predatory fish with a distinctive presentation. Inspired by the shape of a rodent, its design is based on a 3D scan, accurately reproducing the details and proportions of natural prey.

Combining a hard Mutant Rat Hard head with a highly flexible soft body, this lure offers a unique blend of realism, vibrations and water displacement. It is an excellent alternative to conventional lures for targeting large pike, particularly in heavily fished waters.

An innovative head for maximum water displacement

The Mutant Rat’s hard head has an open mouth specially designed to channel water toward a flowing polyester mane. During the retrieve, this creates considerable turbulence and accentuates the lure’s natural movements.

A polycarbonate rattle adds sound that is particularly useful for attracting predatory fish in stained water or low-visibility conditions.

This combination of visual cues, vibrations and sound helps the Mutant Rat remain highly enticing even on the slowest retrieves.

A soft body with especially enticing movement

The Savage Gear Mutant Rat also stands out for its soft body and moving appendages, designed to create natural movement whenever the lure is worked.

Its oversized frog-inspired legs, with rounded tips resembling gecko toes, displace a substantial volume of water as soon as the lure starts moving.

Its slender rodent tail adds subtle movement to the overall action. This design maintains lively action during slow retrieves punctuated by pauses, helping trigger strikes from less active pike.

A robust hook setup and adjustable running depth

Unlike the Soft Loose Body version, the Savage Gear Mutant Rat 24 cm comes fully rigged and ready to fish.

It features a pivoting stainless steel frame fitted with two ultra-sharp treble hooks, helping improve hooksets and reduce the risk of fish coming unhooked during the fight.

A Ching Ring positioned beneath the chin also lets you add weight to change the lure’s presentation and adjust its running depth to suit the conditions.

This versatility lets you fish the Mutant Rat in different areas, including shorelines, weed beds and spots frequented by large pike.
