Product Information
Full details
The Savage Gear Seeker ISP Lure is designed for anglers targeting Seatrout and Sea-bass, offering exceptional casting distance and an erratic, lively action that provokes strikes. Its unique ISP (Intense Strike Point) technology uses glow and UV epoxy to create high-visibility targets, while the 360-degree rotation on spin-stop generates significant flash. While highly effective, its specialized design may require some adaptation for anglers accustomed to simpler lure types.

FAQs
What species is this lure best suited for?
The Savage Gear Seeker ISP Lure is specifically designed to attract Seatrout and Sea-bass. It can also be effective for other predatory saltwater fish that respond to flash and erratic action.
How does the ISP technology work?
ISP stands for Intense Strike Point. It involves filling pre-drilled holes on the lure's body with strong night glow and UV epoxy paste. These points create highly visible targets that attract fish and encourage them to strike the lure's tail section, where the hooks are located.
Can I use this lure in freshwater?
While designed for saltwater, its action and visual attractants could potentially work for freshwater predators that target baitfish. However, its primary effectiveness is in saltwater environments.
What is the benefit of the 360-degree rotation?
The 360-degree rotation on a spin-stop mimics a wounded baitfish or fleeing prey, creating a significant flash and erratic movement that is highly provocative to predatory fish, often triggering an aggressive strike.
Why does it come with both a single and a treble hook?
The inclusion of both hook types allows anglers to adapt to different fishing conditions, regulations (some areas restrict treble hooks), and personal preferences. You can choose the hook that best suits your target species and fishing environment.
How should I care for the ISP epoxy?
Rinse the lure with fresh water after each use. Store it properly to avoid damage. You can recharge the glow and UV properties by exposing it to a strong UV light or sunlight, although its intensity may decrease over extended periods of use.
Is this lure suitable for beginners?
Yes, it is suitable for beginners, especially those targeting Seatrout and Sea-bass. Its long-casting ability is forgiving, and the ISP technology provides a clear attractant. Some practice may be needed to fully utilize its unique spin-stop action.
Troubleshooting
Lure does not cast as far as expected.
Ensure your line is not tangled and that the drag on your reel is set correctly. Check for any damage to the lure's body that might affect its aerodynamics. Using a heavier line than optimal can also reduce casting distance.
Lure does not rotate on spin-stop.
Verify that the lure is rigged straight on your line and that the hooks are not interfering with the rotation. Ensure the spin-stop is a distinct pause rather than a slow down. The lure's action is best when the spin-stop is deliberate.
ISP glow/UV effect seems diminished.
Expose the lure to a strong UV light or natural sunlight for a period to recharge the glow and UV properties. Note that prolonged use may naturally reduce the intensity of the epoxy over time.
Hookup rate is lower than anticipated.
Ensure your hooks are sharp and properly set. Experiment with different retrieve speeds and pause durations. Consider changing the hook configuration (single vs. treble) based on fish behavior.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The Seeker ISP Lure is ready to fish right out of the package. Simply attach your preferred fishing line using a reliable knot or a snap swivel. If using a snap swivel, ensure it is rated for the size of the lure and the expected fighting weight of your target species. The lure comes with both a single and a treble hook; choose the hook that best suits your fishing environment and local regulations. For example, single hooks are often preferred in areas with stricter regulations or where fish are more prone to gut-hooking. Ensure the hooks are sharp and securely attached.
Compatibility:
This lure is compatible with standard spinning and casting fishing setups. Recommended line strengths would typically range from 10-20 lb test monofilament or braided line, depending on the target species and fishing conditions. It is designed for saltwater fishing, specifically targeting Seatrout and Sea-bass, but can also be effective for other predatory saltwater species.
Care:
After each use, rinse the lure thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt, sand, and any aquatic debris. This helps prevent corrosion and maintains the lure's finish and action. Store the lure in a cool, dry place, ideally in a lure box, ensuring the hooks are protected and do not snag on other tackle. Inspect the hooks and the ISP epoxy points periodically for any signs of wear or damage. If the ISP points lose their glow intensity, they can sometimes be re-energized under a strong UV light source, though their effectiveness may diminish over time.
