Savage Gear Deviator Swim: minnow artificial lure for predators
The Savage Gear Deviator Swim is an artificial lure from the Hard Bait family, designed for active predator search. The series combines swimming with a wide side-to-side deviation, side flashes on twitches and an integrated rattle. The thru wire construction makes it suitable for use in demanding conditions, while the slow sink setting and limited working depth place it in a precise usage range, useful when you need to probe shallow water layers with a steady retrieve.
What it is for
This model is designed to cover water and intercept predatory fish while they are hunting. It works well on a steady retrieve, where it produces a marked lateral movement, and on pauses or small jerks, where it shows the flashes on the side. It is used in spots where a visible lure that is easy to animate is needed, with a regular action that allows you to work edges, riprap, channels and transition areas. The series is designed for anglers with a technical approach who want a search lure, to choose according to the length, weight and hook size of the available model.
Features
- Swimming action: clear side-to-side movement during the retrieve, with side flashes on twitches.
- Behavior: slow sink, useful for managing the lure in the desired water layer.
- Working depth: 0.5 m - 1 m on models with complete technical data.
