FAQs
What is Intense Strike Point (ISP) technology?
ISP technology involves filling pre-drilled holes on the lure's body with strong night Glow and UV epoxy pasta. This creates highly visible points that attract predatory fish, encouraging them to strike the lure, particularly near the tail section.
Can I use this lure in freshwater?
While designed for saltwater species like seatrout and seabass, its action and casting capabilities can also be effective for predatory freshwater fish that respond to flashy, erratic lures.
How do I choose between the treble and single hook?
The treble hook generally provides a higher hook-up ratio. The single hook is often preferred for fishing in snaggy or weedy areas, or for anglers practicing catch-and-release to minimize injury to the fish.
What makes this lure good for windy conditions?
The lure features an "ultra long cast design" and its aerodynamic shape helps it cut through the wind more effectively during casting, allowing for greater distance and accuracy even when facing headwinds.
How long is the lure and how much does it weigh?
The Savage Gear Seeker Lure in this guide is 8.7cm long and weighs 16 grams.
What kind of action does the lure have?
The lure has a lively and erratic swimming action. On a spin-stop, it performs an incredible 360-degree rotation, creating a significant flash in the water.
Troubleshooting
Lure not casting as far as expected
Ensure your rod and reel are appropriately matched to the lure's weight (16g). Check for any tangles or knots in your line. Try a more powerful casting stroke.
Lure not swimming erratically or rotating on spin-stop
Verify the lure is rigged correctly and the line is attached to the front eyelet. Ensure there are no twists in the line or leader that could impede its action. Experiment with different retrieve speeds and pause durations.
Hook-ups are infrequent
Ensure hooks are sharp; replace if dull. Experiment with swapping between the treble and single hook to see which performs better for the specific conditions and fish behavior. Adjust your hook-set timing.
ISP colours fading
While durable, the glow and UV properties may diminish over time with heavy use. Store the lure away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve its glow properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Hook Selection: Choose between the supplied ultra-sharp Savage Gear Y-treble hook or the wide-gape beak point lure single hook. The treble hook offers a higher hook-up ratio, while the single hook is often preferred for fishing in weedy areas or for catch-and-release to minimize damage.
Attachment: Tie the lure directly to your main line or leader using a reliable knot (e.g., improved clinch knot).
Compatibility:
Line: Suitable for monofilament, fluorocarbon, or braided fishing lines.
Rod: Best used with medium to heavy action casting or spinning rods capable of handling the lure's weight and providing sufficient backbone for casting and fighting fish.
Target Species: Primarily designed for sea trout and seabass, but effective for other predatory saltwater and freshwater species that respond to lures with flashing and erratic action.
Care:
Rinsing: After each use, rinse the lure thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt, sand, and any other debris.
Drying: Allow the lure to air dry completely before storing.
Storage: Store the lure in a cool, dry place, preferably in a tackle box with protective compartments to prevent hooks from tangling or damaging other lures. Ensure hooks are kept protected to maintain their sharpness.
Hook Maintenance: Periodically check hook sharpness and replace if necessary.
