Product Information

Full details

The Savage Gear Minnow WL 2+1 is a versatile fishing lure designed for anglers targeting pike, bass, zander, and perch. Its primary benefit is its lifelike imitation of baitfish, enhanced by a unique stand-up and rise jig head action that ensures realistic movement both in water and when resting on the bottom. A potential caveat is the need for careful rigging with the Pro Peg system to ensure maximum security.

FAQs

What species is this lure best suited for?

The Savage Gear Minnow WL 2+1 is designed to imitate baitfish and is highly effective for predator species such as pike, bass, zander, and perch.

How does the 'stand-up and rise' jig head work?

The unique shape of the jig head allows the lure to rest in a natural, head-up position on the bottom and to 'rise' slightly when twitched or retrieved, mimicking injured baitfish.

What is the purpose of the Pro Peg body holder?

The Pro Peg system uses a toothpick to firmly secure the lure body onto the hook shank, preventing it from sliding up the hook during aggressive strikes or retrieves, ensuring a consistent presentation.

Can I use this lure in saltwater?

Yes, the Savage Gear Minnow WL 2+1 is designed for use in both freshwater and saltwater environments.

How do I prevent the lure from snagging?

The lure features a weedless design with a protected hook. Ensure the hook point is properly seated in the lure's belly slit. This design significantly reduces snags in common fishing structures like weeds and rocks.

Does the lure come with a spare part?

Yes, a spare tail is included with the lure for extended use.

What kind of hook does it use?

The lure comes equipped with a durable carbon steel forged EWG hook in a tin finish, available in sizes #3/0 or #5/0.

Troubleshooting

Lure not rigging securely

Ensure a toothpick is fully inserted through the Pro Peg holder and the lure body to create a tight connection.

Lure consistently snagging

While designed to be weedless, excessively dense cover may still cause snags. Ensure the hook point is properly buried in the lure's slit and consider a slightly slower retrieve.

Reduced action in the water

Check that the lure body is not damaged or distorted. Ensure the jig head is properly aligned with the body for optimal swimming action.

Rattle not making sound

Verify the rattle is correctly seated within its cavity and that the glass is intact. If the rattle is damaged, it may need to be replaced.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly realistic baitfish profile and action.
  • Weedless design reduces snags in cover.
  • Versatile for various predator fish species.
  • Includes a removable rattle for added attraction.
  • Durable components for long-term use.

Cons

  • Pro Peg system requires a toothpick for secure rigging.

  • Requires appropriate hook size for optimal performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Attach the Hook: Use the click-on connection to attach the EWG hook to the lure's rigging system.
  2. Secure the Body: Insert a toothpick through the designated hole in the lure body and the Pro Peg holder to secure the lure onto the hook shank. This prevents the lure from sliding up the hook.
  3. Add Rattle (Optional): If desired, insert the glass rattle into the designated cavity within the lure body.

Compatibility

  • Hook Sizes: The lure is designed to be used with EWG hooks, typically available in #3/0 or #5/0 sizes, depending on the lure size and target species.
  • Fishing Environments: Suitable for both freshwater and saltwater environments.
  • Target Species: Effective for pike, bass, zander, and perch.

Care

  • Cleaning: After use, rinse the lure with fresh water to remove salt, dirt, and slime.
  • Storage: Store the lure in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the hook is protected to prevent accidental injury and damage to the lure body.
  • Hook Maintenance: Keep the hook sharp and rust-free. Replace the hook if it becomes dull or damaged.
