Each lure is furnished with two essential components: an ultra-sharp Y-treble hook and a wide-gape beak point lure single hook. What sets these lures apart is the incorporation of the Savage ISP (Intense Strike Point) technology. By filling predrilled body holes with a robust combination of night Glow and UV epoxy pasta, these lures boast the most striking point on their bodies—an intensity unlike any other, promising an unparalleled fishing experience.

All of these colours are very effective but the most popular has to be the Pearl White, but unfortunately, this lure can be hard to get hold of. The last time I purchased the Pearl White version it came from Germany. I’d ordered twice from the Germans. How often the lure tackle shop re-stock is another story. The other patterns can be hard to get hold of too, you will have to shop around.

What is the Savage Gear Seekers diving depth?

The Savage Gear Seekers, without being sarcastic are metal. Therefore, metal sinks in water fast – the Seeker is no exception. With that said on a steady retrieve the Seeker will swim quite shallow. But if you retrieve too slowly it’s going to sink. So really it is best to use common sense. Any sandy bays should be the perfect hunting ground for the Surf Seeker. Deepers waters? Fantastic. Shallow rocky ground? Just be aware that when you cast out, start reeling in as soon as the seeker hits the water. If you can feel the lure snagging the bottom, then it’s time to change your lure.

What type of fish is the Savage Gear Seekers designed for?

In the UK the common types of fish would have to be bass, pollock, mackerel and even cod – if they ever turn up.

What kind of hooks do the Savage Gear Seekers come equipped with?

The Savage Gear Seekers are fitted with a treble hook. However, there is also a single hook which gives you two options. So why the single hook? The main reason people opt for the single hook as opposed to the treble is it’s better for the fish, meaning: it is less likely to do any damage. Your hook-up rates may take a hit, It’s entirely up to using the lure and how you feel about it.

What retrieval speed is recommended for optimal performance With Savage Gear Seekers?

As we mentioned earlier, this all depends on the ground you are fishing over. If you are fishing over shallow rocky ground then you need to use some common sense. It’s that simple. If you feel that lure getting caught on the bottom then you are at risk of losing the lure. The best practice is just to stick to the deeper waters probably anything over a metre. Please remember this lure is metal and sinks fast. The Seeker casts a long way so when it hits the water you are going to start retrieving instantaneously.

Are there any specific techniques or tips for using the Savage Gear Seekers?

Just keep the retrieve steady to be safe. If the water is deeper you can pause for a second or two. This will cause the lure to flutter down towards the sea bed, bass especially love this enough to make them strike into action. Bang! Fish on.

Lovely Bass Mate

Catching Bass On The Savage Gear Seekers

Reflecting on the bass season in 2023 it’s safe to say as far as conditions go it has been horrendous. Northerly winds battering our South East shoreline meant the conditions for lure fishing hadn’t been that great. Along with working all day taxi driving for that window to fish was proving to be a bit of a pain. Yes, we did go bait fishing but this was meant to be our spring/summer time – prime bass fishing time. But all was not lost.

One weekend we had a tip-off that on the neap tides, the water had looked pretty clear at one of our most productive venues. So armed with lures that are going to punch out there regardless of that northerly head-on wind we made our way down to our spot.

Great conditions for the savage gear seekers

This would be the type of scenario where Savage Gear Seekers would come into their own. With that said, I’d had a productive session with the Savage Gear Pencil. You see normal lures like Megabass Zonks, and IMA Komomo II are just not going to get any distance, a bit like weeing in the wind. But the Pencil is another long-casting lure just like Savage Gear Seekers’ idea for this weather.

Low Neap Tides Was The Order of the day

We got on to our mark relatively early as far as tides go so we started to fish. The wind was howling but the Seeker didn’t have any problem punching through that wind. The only problem was the wind taking the line around to the left. This was because the wind on this occasion was not directly in your face. I thought that this would be a problem with snags but carried on and wasn’t experiencing any problems.

Third time lucky

So after a few nervous casts, I managed to hook into a fish. Right in the shallows to my right as I was facing out in a southerly direction. Then my mate Steve Wood was into a bass as well. I failed to mention that the previous day (while I was at work) Steve had 12 fish in a relatively short period. The difference on this day was there were loads of other people down there fishing. Word must have got out. This is not great news at all. But luckily the day I was there it was just Steve and I, great! more fish for us.

Madness for a good half an hour

Bizzare! The very next cast my lure drifted round in the wind and tide and bang! I was in yet again. This was great fishing and great for the time of day too. Trust me, I had my misconception about fishing in the daytime, how wrong was I? The other negative belief I had was that bass love the strong tide run and that the neap tides were crap. I now understand that these theories were utter rubbish. I mean where was I getting my information? I will take full advantage of this next season when it kicks off again.

The fish kept coming!

As the afternoon carried on we kept catching fish but what was even more interesting, I was caught in the same place. Then as the tide dropped the fish just vanished. We never caught a thing after that but what a great afternoon fishing. The Savage Gear Seekers had done it again.
