Savage Gear 4D Herring Big Shad 25cm | 300g

The Savage Gear 4D Herring Big Shad is the ultimate heavyweight weapon for Nordic Big Game fishing. At Gerrys Fishing, we recognize this as a top-tier tool for anglers heading to Norway or Iceland in search of record-breaking Halibut, Giant Cod, and Coalfish. This lure is a 4D photo-chrome skin printed imitation of the Atlantic Herring, meticulously designed to look, swim, and even smell like the primary prey of deep-sea monsters.

The 300g weight ensures you can reach the strike zone in deep water and heavy currents, while the Nylon mesh reinforced tail provides the durability needed to survive the crushing jaws of giant predators.

Nordic Big Game Engineering

• 4D Photo-Chrome Skin: This lure features Savage Gears fourth dimension of detail. By using a photo-chrome skin print and a strike-triggering scent, it provides a level of realism that can deceive even the most cautious trophy fish in clear Arctic waters.

• Rocking & Lively Action: The paddle tail is tuned to produce a superb rocking and swimming action. This occurs both on a steady retrieve and on the drop, creating a perfect escape pattern that mimics a wounded or panicked herring.

• Reinforced Durability: Built with a durable soft PVC body and a Nylon mesh reinforced tail bridge, this shad is designed to stay intact through multiple battles with powerful fish.

• Pro-Grade Hardware: For the biggest monsters, you need terminal tackle you can trust. This shad comes equipped with a Kevlar stinger and 4X strong forged steel hooks to ensure that once a fish is hooked, it stays hooked.

Tactical Applications

The 300g 4D Herring Shad is a heavy-duty specialist. The Gerrys team suggests:

• Deep-Water Vertical Jigging: This is the primary method for Halibut and Giant Cod. Drop the lure to the seabed and retrieve it 5-10 meters, then drop it back down. The rocking action on the descent is often when the biggest halibut will strike.

• Slow Trolling: If the drift is slow, use your engine to slow troll the lure at depth. The 300g weight keeps the lure deep in the water column where the larger herring shoalsand the monsters following themare located.

• The Panic Retrieve: For big Coalfish, try a high-speed retrieve from the bottom through the mid-water column. The vibration and visual escape pattern of the 4D herring are irresistible to schooling coalies.

• Scent Re-Activation: While the lure comes pre-scented, we recommend adding additional fish-based attractant to the tail bridge to create a persistent scent trail in deep, dark water.

Gerrys Verdict:
