Savage Gear Sandeel V2 Big Game: Ultimate Predator Lure
The Savage Gear Sandeel V2 Big Game is a powerful tool for catching big predatory fish. This lure looks and moves just like a real sandeel, making it very attractive to many types of saltwater fish. It works well in different fishing conditions and can be used in various ways. Let's explore what makes this lure special and why many serious anglers love using it to catch big fish.
Key Takeaways
- Lifelike design mimics real sandeels for increased strike rates
- Built-in glass rattle attracts predators from a distance
- Versatile lure effective for multiple fishing techniques
- UV-reactive colors enhance visibility in low light conditions
- Durable construction withstands multiple catches

Design and Construction
The Sandeel V2 Big Game is made with great care and attention to detail. Its soft body is both tough and flexible, so it can handle big fish strikes while still moving naturally in the water. The largest size is 17.5 cm long and weighs 65 g, perfect for catching bigger fish. It's designed to cast far and move well in the water.
One cool feature is the built-in glass rattle. This makes a sound that attracts fish from far away, especially in murky water or deep areas. The sound is just right to get the attention of predator fish.
The lure also has a special holder for the hook, called a Pro Peg holder. This helps make sure the hook is in the right place to catch fish better. You can also change hooks easily if you need to.
Performance in Water
When you put the Sandeel V2 Big Game in the water, it really comes to life. It moves in a way that looks just like a real sandeel trying to escape from bigger fish. This makes it great for catching fish like cod, pollock, and big bass. These fish often attack the lure because it looks so real.
You can use this lure in many different ways:
- Straight retrieve: Just reel it in steadily
- Twitching: Move your rod tip to make the lure dart around
- Sink and draw: Let it sink, then retrieve it
- Vertical jigging: Move it up and down in deep water
If you like fishing from a boat, this lure is great for that too. It's heavy enough to reach deep water where big fish often hide.
Color Options and UV Technology
The Sandeel V2 Big Game comes in different colors to work well in various water conditions:
- Green Silver: Good for most situations
- White Pearl Silver: Great in clear water
- Blue Pearl Silver: Good for offshore fishing
- Lemon Back: Works well in murky water
- Pink Pearl Silver: Attracts fish like pollack
These lures also have a special UV-reactive finish. This makes them easier for fish to see, especially in low light or deep water. It helps you catch fish even when it's hard to see underwater.
Rigging Options
You can set up the Sandeel V2 Big Game in different ways. It works well with a simple jig head for most fishing. But if you're fishing in areas with lots of plants or rocks, you can use special hooks that don't get caught as easily. This lets you fish in places where other lures might get stuck.
If you want to try different ways of setting up your lure, North East Tackle Supplies has other soft baits you can use with it.
Target Species and Fishing Techniques
The Sandeel V2 Big Game is great for catching many types of fish in the sea. Here are some fish you can catch and how to fish for them:
Cod
Fish slowly in deep water. Let the lure sink near the bottom before reeling in. The rattle helps attract cod in dark water.
Bass
Fish near the surface in coastal areas, especially at dawn and dusk. Reel in fast and erratically to look like a fleeing fish.
Pollock
Fish in mid-water, often near underwater structures. The lure's lifelike action and bright colors work well for pollock.
Mackerel
Fish fast near the surface. This lure is good for catching bigger mackerel in schools of fish.
If you're planning a fishing trip to Norway, where you can find really big fish, this lure is a great choice. Check out North East Tackle's Norway fishing equipment for more gear to use with this lure.
Durability and Maintenance
The Sandeel V2 Big Game is made to last. It can handle being bitten by big fish many times. But to keep it working well for a long time, you should take care of it:
- Rinse it with fresh water after using it in the sea
- Let it dry completely before storing it
- Keep it in a cool, dry place away from sunlight
- You can buy new tails for the lure if the old one gets worn out

The Savage Gear Sandeel V2 Big Game is a good deal for what you get. At North East Tackle Supplies, it costs £9.08, which is 32% less than the original price of £15.99. This is a good price for such a high-quality lure.
