The Old Standard SG Sandeel

Now let’s have it right, the old Savage Gear Sandeels are not to be sniffed at. In fact, the old SG (Lemon Back) has saved me a blank on more than one occasion over my lure fishing lifetime.

One important thing to bear in mind when using the old SG Sandeel is the depth of water you are fishing. The SG will sink straight to the bottom – so if you retrieve that lure ‘slowly’ through rocky ground and shallow water you’re going to get snagged.

You could speed up your retrieve slightly

You could try speeding up your retrieve but in my personal experience, I feel a slower retrieve is more successful. Especially in the dark of the night. However, we have a weedless option to cope with that problem.

Old savage gear sandeels: Rough Ground Deeper Waters

So if you are fishing over rocky but deep water then the old SG is a fantastic choice of lure. And your chances of not losing it are greatly increased. Remember fishing in sandy bays is the perfect setting for using this great lure. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Lures are expensive.

Savage Gear Sandeels FULL ‘FAQ’

Question: What is the length of the Savage Gear Sandeels?

There are quite a variety of lengths with the Savage Gear Sandeel – Please bear in mind the type of scenario you will be fishing for example you would generally use the smallest option. Then for jigging out from a boat the heavier options all are as follows:

• 12cm – 22gm: This would be a perfect choice for lure fishing from the shores. Rocks, bays and estuary.

• 14cm – 33gm: Obviously heavier but could still be used from the sure just make sure your rod rating can handle the weight. Any rod with a rating under 35 grams is probably not suitable. You could risk your rod breaking so better to be safe than sorry
• 15.5cm – 46 gm This along with the 17.5 – 60 grams would be suitable for deeper waters with a strong current. Hence the weight to get that lure down to the bottom as soon as possible. Drifting in the tide and bouncing the lure over structures or sand bars – this can be a fantastic way to catch bass.
• 17.5cm – 60gm Pretty much as above for boat fishing

Question: Are the SG Sandeels available in different colours, and which colour is most effective in the local waters?

Yes, there are quite a few different colour patterns for the Savage Gear Sandeel. As for what is most effective? That is all down to the conditions when fishing. Below is a list of some of the great colour on offer.

Question: How should I rig these sandeels for the best results?

The most popular way in the ‘world of lure fishing’ is to connect the Savage Gear Sandeel via a lure clip. This clip would be tied straight to the fluorocarbon leader that attaches to your braid. You could just tie the lure straight to the leeder but realistically you do not want to keep tying a new knot. You give yourself more options using a lure clip and it saves a great deal of time. If you are not planning on changing your lure then tie it straight on by all means. But sometimes a change in lure colour can sometimes crack the code especially if you are not catching.

Question: Are there specific retrieval techniques that work well with Savage Gear Sandeels?

Retrievel rates can be varied but it innevitably all down to the area you are fishing. As we mentioned earlier you have to be mindful about the depth of water you are fishing. If the ground is rocky and shallow you would go for a faster retrieve to avoid getting snagged. However, if you are fishing off a promenade where you are alot higher abover the water level, you could maybe slow things down a bit. But if you can feel the lure getting caught on the rocks then speed things up.

‘Twitching Verses Sink and Draw’

So we have covered a straight retrieve so now we are going to spice things up a bit. To keep things relatively simple we are going to still adopt a steady retrieve only this time – we are going to simply twitch the rod tip back every so often. This would make your lure look like a fish trying make a quick for cover. Therefor, enticing that fish to strike.

‘Sink and Draw Method’

This can be acheived by again a steady retrieve then lift the rod tip up, then pausing as you lower the rod tip back. This would replicate a fish swimming up and down. This is a better option in deeper waters where you are not going to get snagged. DO NOT RISK SINK AND DRAW IN SHALLOW WATER especially with the Savage Gear Sandeel unless you are using the weedless option then just be careful.

Question: Can I use them in both freshwater and saltwater environments?

In reality, the Savage Gear Sandeels could be used in freshwater for the likes of pike and maybe other predatory fish. But initially, this lure is a sandeel imitation – so the answer is probably no. Remember that freshwater fishing venues usually have strict rules for things like for example: using barbless hooks. Whereas, in the sea, the only regulations are generally for fish that you want to take home, size limits or with bass how many can you take. The answer at this present time is 1.

Question: What’s the best way to store and maintain Savage Gear Sandeels to maximize their effectiveness and lifespan?

Savage Gears Sandeels seem to be pretty good as for as the hooks going rusty. But as with any lure – the more you catch on them the more they’re going to dimimish in appearance. Hard lure get scratches and hook marks. Whereas with the soft plastic bodies the Savage Gear Sandeels you may experience them getting split. However, Savage Gear Sandeels come with a spare bodie to solve that problem. Any consistant fishing with any lures are not going to last for ever.

Question: What savage gear sandeels options are good for murky water?

As listed earlier: there are a few options for murky water. Pink and White are probably the go-to choices but the Lemon back is still another good choice. Remember though, this is for daytime fishing. You are probably going to struggle if the water is dirty at nighttime. Other bigger lures with a loud rattle would be a better ‘choice of lure’ at nighttime if you decide to try anyway. You never know.
