Product detailed description
Cutbait Herring is a deep-sea soft bait designed for halibut and large cod, built to work reliably in greater depths and strong drift. The Blue Mackerel version is based on a classic mackerel pattern – dark contrasting back, light belly, and a strong silhouette that remains clearly visible even below 100 meters. The 25 cm / 460 g version is intended for situations where lighter heads lose bottom contact and additional weight is needed to stay in the productive zone.
Why mackerel
Mackerel is one of the most energy-rich and commonly hunted prey species for halibut and large cod in the North Atlantic. From a technical perspective, the mackerel pattern excels in two key situations: (1) when a strong profile is needed in the water column, and (2) when the lure must stand out against the bottom during drift. At 460 g, the bait tracks steadily even in stronger current, reaches the working depth quickly, and maintains better contact during vertical presentation.
What comes from the original Savage Gear design
Cutbait Herring was developed for targeting large fish in Arctic waters, with emphasis on a realistic appearance (detailed “under-skin” colouring) and controlled behaviour at depth. The lure is rigged with robust forged hooks designed for powerful hooksets and reliable fish control during the fight. The overall construction is intended for deep water and forceful vertical fishing.
→ Depth and drift selection: 25 cm / 460 g is the right choice for stronger current, deeper areas, and depths below 100 m when targeting large cod. If you lose bottom contact with lighter versions, this weight brings control back.
→ Retrieve: keep the lure primarily in the near-bottom zone. Short technical lifts (20–50 cm), followed by a controlled drop on a tight line and a brief pause, work best. The goal is to keep the bait in the strike zone, not to lift it unnecessarily high above the fish.
→ Stinger: large halibut often strike the rear part of the bait – adding a stinger significantly increases hook-up ratio, especially during hard attacks in deep water.
→ Scent / dip: particularly useful with large soft baits during fluctuating fish activity. Dipping the lure in scent can extend the holding time and improve hook-up success. See the Scents category.
→ Lighter alternative: for standard fjord depths and moderate drift, the 20 cm / 270 g version offers a slower fall rate and more versatile use.
