FAQs

What types of fish can I catch with the Savage Gear Vib Blade Lure?

This lure is highly effective for Perch, Pike, Zander, Asp, and Trout. Its design also makes it suitable for other predatory freshwater and saltwater species.

How do I choose the best attachment point?

The front-most hole provides the most vibration and a tighter action. The middle hole offers a balanced action. The rear-most hole creates a wider swimming action on the drop. Experiment to see which action attracts the most strikes in your conditions.

Is this lure suitable for saltwater fishing?

Yes, the lure is equipped with 'Salter water trebles' and is designed for both freshwater and saltwater applications.

What is the 'VMS' feature?

VMS stands for Vivid Movement System. It refers to the lure's lifelike swimming action that is maintained even during the fall or on a slow retrieve, making it more enticing to fish.

How should I retrieve this lure?

You can retrieve it with a steady retrieve, varying the speed, or use a stop-and-go technique. The lure's action on the drop is also a key feature, so allow it to sink and impart subtle twitches.

What are the available sizes and weights?

The Savage Gear Vib Blade Lure comes in various sizes and weights, including 4.5cm 8.5g and 5.5cm 14.5g, among others.

Do I need a leader with this lure?

For pike and zander, a steel or fluorocarbon leader is highly recommended to prevent bite-offs. For other species, a regular fishing line or fluorocarbon leader is usually sufficient.

Troubleshooting

Lure spins or tumbles on the retrieve

Ensure the line is attached to the correct point. Try a more forward attachment point for a more stable retrieve. Check for any damage to the lure body or fins. Use a quality swivel.

Poor casting distance

Check for tangles or wind knots in your line. Ensure your reel is spooled correctly. Verify that the lure is not snagged or damaged. The lure's weight and design are optimized for casting; line management is key.

Hooks are dull or bent

Sharpen the treble hooks with a file or whetstone. If hooks are significantly bent, they should be replaced with new, sharp treble hooks of a similar size.

Lure doesn't vibrate as expected

Experiment with different attachment points. Ensure the lure is not damaged. In very slow retrieves or slack line, vibration might be less pronounced; try increasing retrieve speed or pausing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent casting performance.
  • Strong vibration and visual attraction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Select the desired attachment point on the lure's back. The front-most hole offers the most intense vibration. The middle hole provides a balanced action. The rear-most hole creates a wider swimming action, especially on the drop.
  2. Tie your fishing line directly to the chosen attachment point using a reliable knot, such as a Palomar or improved clinch knot.
  3. For added stealth or to reduce line twist, consider using a quality ball-bearing swivel attached to your main line before tying on the lure.

Compatibility:

  • This lure is compatible with standard monofilament, fluorocarbon, and braided fishing lines.
  • Suitable for use with spinning and baitcasting gear.
  • Designed for freshwater and saltwater applications, targeting species such as Perch, Pike, Zander, Asp, and Trout.

Care:

  • After each use, rinse the lure thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt, sand, and debris.
  • Dry the lure completely before storing to prevent corrosion, especially on the hooks.
  • Store the lure in a cool, dry place, preferably in a lure box, ensuring the hooks are protected to avoid damage to the lure or yourself.
  • Periodically inspect the hooks for sharpness and replace if necessary.
