Savage Gear

Discover Savage Gear  at Charlie’s Fishing. The Line Thru lures of Savage Gear are Ultra-realistic predator fishing lures with 3D scanning, natural swimming action, and premium performance for pike, zander, and perch.

Savage Gear is widely recognised as a pioneer in modern predator fishing, creating innovative lure designs and ultra-realistic baitfish profiles. One of their biggest breakthroughs is the Savage Gear Line Thru system, where the fishing line passes directly through the lure. This increases hook-up ratios and prevents fish from using the lure as leverage to throw the hook.

At Charlie’s Fishing, we offer a premium selection of Savage Gear Line Thru models, including the 3D Line Thru Whitefish 17 cm, 3D Line Thru Whitefish Shad XL, and other hyper-realistic soft lures built with advanced 3D scanning technology. These lures deliver lifelike movement, realistic details and natural swimming action that trigger even the most cautious predators.

Savage Gear 3D Glide Roach: A Standout Soft Glidebait
The 3D Glide Roach is one of the most praised lures in the Savage Gear lineup. Available in 17 cm (78 g) and 23 cm (170 g), this soft glidebait is constructed using 3D scans of real roach, giving it incredibly lifelike proportions, scale patterns and body shape. The soft body, scent infusion and balanced weight distribution allow the Glide Roach to swim with a natural, gliding motion that attracts big pike and zander.

What Makes the Glide Roach So Effective?
Line Thru System: During a strike, the rig separates from the soft body, keeping the lure intact and reducing the chance of fish shaking the hook.
Realistic slow-sinking action: Ideal for shallow to mid-depth water when predators are hunting near structure.
Versatile retrieve styles: Works with twitching, jerking, steady retrieve and trolling.
Designed for large predators: Perfect for targeting trophy pike in clear or lightly stained water.

How to Fish the Savage Gear Line Thru and Glide Roach
To get the most out of Savage Gear Line Thru lures and the 3D Glide Roach, it’s important to match the retrieve style to the behaviour of the fish. Here are the best techniques:

Slow Glide Retrieve
Cast out, let the lure sink, and retrieve slowly while giving occasional taps with the rod tip. This creates wide side-to-side glides that mimic an injured baitfish drifting through the water. Excellent for cold water and pressured predators.

Twitch-and-Pause
Use short twitches with pauses in between. The Glide Roach will dart left and right, then slowly sink during the pause, the moment where most bites occur. Perfect for clear water and following fish.

Steady Retrieve
A simple, smooth retrieve gives the lure a subtle tail-kick and a natural, steady swimming motion. This is ideal when fish are actively feeding or when you want to cover water quickly.

Jerking Technique
Sharper rod movements make the lure dart aggressively, imitating a fleeing prey fish. This works incredibly well when pike are hunting fast and reacting to fast-moving targets.

Trolling
The larger 23 cm version is a strong trolling lure. It tracks straight, maintains a stable depth and delivers an enticing glide that triggers big zander and pike in deeper water.

Fishing Around Structure
Because the lures glide and suspend naturally, they are perfect for fishing along weed edges, drop-offs, bridges, canal walls and standing timber.
