Savage Gear Gravity Stick Mini Kit 12cm 13g 6+6pc

What is the Savage Gear Gravity Stick Mini Kit?

The Savage Gear Gravity Stick Mini Kit is a clever little fishing lure set that helps you catch more fish without getting snagged on rocks or weed. It’s a smaller, slimmer version of the famous Gravity Stick. At just 12cm long and 13g heavy, it flies through the air a long way and looks just like a real baitfish when it moves in the water.

I’ve used this kit on the north east coast, and the first thing you notice is how far it casts. The high?gravity material packs weight into a tiny body, so you can reach bass that are sitting behind rough ground where other lures just can’t go. Because it comes with three different tail shapes, you can change the action without buying extra lures. That’s smart fishing.

What’s Inside the Box? (Full Contents)

When you open the pack, you don’t just get one lure – you get a whole fishing kit. Here’s exactly what’s included, laid out so you can see the value.

• 6 mini lures – 2 x paddletail, 2 x pintail, 2 x pulsetail.
• 1 x 4/0 standard weedless hook – great for natural sinking.
• 1 x 4/0 2g weighted weedless hook – adds a little extra cast and faster sink.
• 2 small glass rattles – to make noise and attract fish in murky water.
• 2 x 1.3g tungsten weights – push into the tail slot for longer casting.

Everything fits in a small box, so you can keep it in your pocket or fishing bag. No need to buy extra bits – it’s ready to go.

Key Features That Make This Kit Special

The Gravity Stick Mini isn’t just another soft plastic. Savage Gear put real thought into the small details that help you catch more fish. Let’s break down the best features.

I’ve fished the pintail with the rattle added on a windy evening, and the bass absolutely smashed it. Being able to tune the lure in seconds is a real advantage.

Why This Kit Beats Other 12cm Lures for Distance

Most 12cm soft lures weigh around 10–12g. The Gravity Stick Mini is 13g but has a slimmer body, so it cuts through the air better. That means you can cast into strong wind and still reach the “kill zone” where bass hunt.

Here’s a simple comparison with other popular 12cm lures. The numbers are based on real casting tests with a 9ft rod and 15lb braid.

• Standard 12cm paddletail (11g): average cast 35–40 metres.
• Gravity Stick Mini (13g + tail weight): average cast 45–52 metres.
• Other slim lures (10g): average cast 30–35 metres.

That extra 10 metres often puts your lure right in front of feeding fish that haven’t seen any other angler’s bait. For bass fishing in the UK, distance is a superpower.

How to Rig the Gravity Stick Mini Kit (Step?by?Step)

Rigging this lure is easy, but doing it right makes all the difference. A twisted lure won’t swim properly. Follow these steps and your lure will track perfectly every time.

1. Pick your hook – Use the standard 4/0 weedless hook for a natural sink, or the 2g weighted hook for longer casts.
2. Screw in the twist?lock pin – Push the corkscrew pin into the centre of the lure’s nose and wind it in like a corkscrew until it reaches the hook eye.
3. Line up the hook point – Find the belly slot/hole on the underside of the lure. Push the hook point through that hole so the body stays straight.
4. Check for straightness – If the lure looks kinked or twisted, take it off and try again. A straight lure swims better.

For rough ground, keep the hook point buried slightly in the soft plastic – that’s the “weedless” magic. The hook pushes through when a fish bites, but it won’t snag on kelp or rocks. If you’re new to this, check our guide on how to select the perfect sea bass spinning rod to match your new lures.

Best Retrieves for Each Tail Type

Different tails need different moves. Here’s the simple way to fish each one. Start with these retrieves, then experiment – the fish will tell you what they want.

• Paddletail: Steady retrieve with occasional small speed changes. It’s the easiest “cast and wind” option. Works well when bass are chasing baitfish near the surface.
• Pintail: Twitch?twitch?pause. Let it sink for 1–2 seconds between twitches. This mimics a panicking baitfish and triggers aggressive strikes.
• Pulsetail: Short, sharp twitches with pauses. The body pulses on the pull and then glides on the drop. Deadly for wrasse and pollack over rough ground.

I always start with the pintail on a twitch?pause retrieve. If that doesn’t work, I switch to a steady paddletail. And if the water is murky, I add the glass rattle to give the fish something to home in on.

Target Fish Species – Bass, Wrasse, Pollack and More

The Gravity Stick Mini was designed with bass in mind, but it catches a whole range of predator fish. Its slim profile matches the sandeels, small pollack and juvenile baitfish that bigger fish love to eat.

Main target: Sea bass – especially school bass and medium fish up to 4lb. The weedless rig lets you fish right through the rough stuff where bass hide.

Also great for:

• Wrasse – they love the pulsetail twitched slowly over kelp beds.
• Pollack – a steady retrieve with the paddletail works well around reef edges.
• Mackerel, garfish and even small codling – any predator that eats 3–5 inch fish.

If you’re fishing from a boat, don’t forget to look at our boat lures collection for more options. But the Gravity Stick Mini works just as well from a drifting boat as it does from the shore.

Best UK Locations for Bass with This Lure

You can catch bass on this lure almost anywhere, but certain spots really shine. The weedless design means you can fish places that would eat a normal jig head alive.

• Shallow reefs and rough ground – look for areas with a mix of rock, kelp and small gullies. Cast upcurrent and work the lure back slowly.
• Beaches with gutters and troughs – bass sit in the deeper water between sandbars. Cast past the gutter and retrieve through the trough.
• Rock marks with kelp edges – the weedless hook slides over kelp without snagging. Target the edges where kelp meets open sand.
• Estuaries and tidal creeks – use the pintail on a slow, twitching retrieve along current seams.

If you’re heading to Norway fishing or other rugged coastlines, this kit is a no?brainer. It handles rough ground better than almost any other soft lure.

Expert Tips for Fishing Rough Ground

Rough ground (rocks, weed, broken shells) is where the Gravity Stick Mini earns its keep. But you still need to fish it smartly. Here’s what I’ve learned after hundreds of sessions on the north east coast.

• Keep your rod tip high – this lets the lure snake through the water and bump over rocks instead of diving into cracks.
• Don’t burn it back – slow retrieves keep the lure higher in the water column, away from the worst snags.
• Use the weighted hook only when needed – the extra 2g makes it sink faster, which can be good in strong tides but bad in shallow, snaggy water.
• Feel for the bottom – every few turns, pause and let the lure sink. You’ll feel it tick the rocks. Then lift and wind again. That “tick and lift” rhythm catches fish.

If you’re fishing really nasty ground, leave the tungsten tail weight out. A lighter, slower fall means fewer snags. For more advice, browse our sea fishing tackle range – we stock everything you need to fish rough ground confidently.

Tuning Your Lure with Rattles and Weights

The best part of this kit is how easy it is to change the lure’s behaviour. You don’t need tools or glue. Just push the parts into the slots.

• Add the glass rattle: Push it into the body slot (near the hook). It makes a clicking sound when the lure moves. Use it in murky water, at night, or when fish are being shy – the noise gives them something to find.
• Add the tungsten weight: Push it into the tail slot. This shifts the balance to the rear, so the lure casts further and sinks tail?first. Use it when you need extra distance or when fishing deeper water.
• Use both together: Yes, you can add the rattle and the weight. That gives you noise + distance. Perfect for big, windy beaches.

A personal trick: I often start without any extras. If I’m not getting bites after 20 casts, I add the rattle. If I still can’t reach the fish, I add the tail weight. Small changes make a big difference.

Colour Options and Pricing

The Gravity Stick Mini Kit is excellent value. Most retailers sell it for £9.99 to £10.99. That’s less than the price of two single soft lures, but you get six lures plus hooks, rattles and weights.

Available colours: Wakasagi, Khaki, Cotton Candy, Ghost Mix, White, Lemon Back, Hi Vis Mix.

• Wakasagi and White – best for clear water and sunny days.
• Khaki and Ghost Mix – natural, subtle colours for wary bass.
• Cotton Candy and Hi Vis Mix – great in coloured water or low light.

For the price, it’s one of the best value lure kits on the market. And because it’s from Savage Gear, you know the quality is there. Every component is designed to last, from the hooks to the soft plastic.
