Savage Gear Conger Eel 13cm, 50g – Bubblegum

The Bubblegum Savage Gear Conger Eel 13cm adds a bright visual signal to the natural eel-style body. A built-in rattle adds sound, while the strong #5/0 hook is positioned for direct contact with cod, halibut, pollock and other saltwater predators.

Why the Savage Gear Conger Eel 13cm Looks Vulnerable

The Savage Gear Conger Eel 13cm is designed around the shape of a young conger eel. Adult congers are powerful predators, but smaller juvenile eels can become prey for larger fish living around reefs, wrecks, rocky ground and coastal structure.

That vulnerable appearance gives the lure a different profile from ordinary shads and baitfish jigs. The long body and flexible tail create a slower, more natural movement that can appeal to fish watching the lure rather than attacking immediately.

At 13cm, the Savage Gear Conger Eel 13cm is compact enough for medium-sized predators while still carrying enough weight to reach deeper water. The 50g head also makes it easier to maintain contact in moderate current.

Exact Product Details

The Savage Gear Conger Eel 13cm is supplied as a ready-rigged single lure, allowing anglers to attach it to a suitable leader and begin fishing without building a separate jig-head system.

Bubblegum for Contrast, Not Camouflage

The Bubblegum version of the Savage Gear Conger Eel 13cm is designed to stand out rather than disappear. Its bright pink tone produces a strong visual contrast against dark seabed, deep water and low-light conditions.

Natural colours often work when predators are feeding confidently, but brighter shades can become more effective when water clarity drops or fish need help locating the lure.

Bubblegum Can Be Useful In

• Cloudy or stained water
• Low-light fishing
• Deep water with limited colour visibility
• Overcast coastal conditions
• Areas with heavy fishing pressure
• Situations where natural colours are ignored

The Savage Gear Conger Eel 13cm in Bubblegum can also serve as a change-up lure. Switching from a natural baitfish pattern to a bright pink profile may trigger fish that have already seen many similar-looking jigs.

Sound and Movement Working Together

A built-in rattle inside the jig head gives the Savage Gear Conger Eel 13cm an additional attraction signal. Each lift, shake or change of direction creates sound that can help fish locate the lure.

This is especially useful in deeper water, around rough structure or in reduced visibility where colour alone may not be enough.

The tail provides the second attraction element. Its flexible shape moves with relatively little speed, allowing the Savage Gear Conger Eel 13cm to remain active during slow lifts, controlled drops and gentle drifts.

What the Combined Action Produces

• Visual contrast from the Bubblegum finish
• Rattling sound from the jig head
• Slow eel-like tail movement
• Natural descent during controlled drops
• A compact but noticeable predator target

Because the lure already creates movement and sound, the Savage Gear Conger Eel 13cm does not need constant violent jigging. Small lifts and pauses can often look more believable than excessive rod action.

Predators That May Attack It

The Savage Gear Conger Eel 13cm is designed primarily for marine predators that feed on eels, baitfish and bottom-dwelling prey.

Cod

Cod often hunt around rocky ground, wrecks and changes in depth. The 50g Savage Gear Conger Eel 13cm can be worked close to the bottom with short lifts and controlled pauses.

Halibut

Halibut may respond to the lure’s long profile and slow tail action, especially during drifts over sand, mixed ground and areas holding small eel-like prey.

Pollock and Coalfish

When these fish suspend above structure, the Savage Gear Conger Eel 13cm can be retrieved through the water column rather than kept directly on the seabed.

Snapper and Grouper

In suitable regions, the compact eel imitation may also appeal to reef-associated predators that ambush prey close to rock and structure.

Barracuda

The bright Bubblegum finish and tail movement can attract aggressive barracuda, although a suitable bite-resistant leader may be required.

Ways to Fish the Savage Gear Conger Eel 13cm

Slow Lift and Drop

Lower the Savage Gear Conger Eel 13cm toward the bottom, lift it smoothly and allow it to descend under controlled tension. Many bites occur as the lure falls.

Bottom Hopping

Touch down briefly, raise the lure clear of the seabed and repeat. This can imitate a young eel attempting to hide or escape.

Vertical Jigging

The 50g weight makes the Savage Gear Conger Eel 13cm suitable for vertical presentation in light to moderate current, depending on water depth and line angle.

Cast and Sink

From shore, pier or boat, cast the lure, allow it to reach the desired level and retrieve it with steady pulls and pauses.

Drift Fishing

Let the boat movement carry the Savage Gear Conger Eel 13cm across likely holding areas. Maintain enough contact to detect the bottom and recognise strikes.

The best approach depends on current, depth and fish activity. Begin slowly, then increase movement only when predators respond better to a more aggressive presentation.

Match the Lure to Balanced Saltwater Tackle

The Savage Gear Conger Eel 13cm should be used with a rod capable of casting or jigging a 50g lure. A medium-heavy saltwater spinning or baitcasting setup will suit many situations.

Useful Setup Considerations

• Rod rated for at least 50g lure weight
• Saltwater-resistant spinning or casting reel
• Braided main line for sensitivity
• Abrasion-resistant fluorocarbon or monofilament leader
• Bite-resistant leader for sharp-toothed species
• Drag set below the weakest connection

A low-stretch braided main line helps anglers feel the movement of the Savage Gear Conger Eel 13cm, detect bottom contact and respond quickly to bites.

The leader should be selected according to the target species and structure. Rocks, wrecks and sharp teeth can damage line even when the lure itself is rigged with a strong hook.

Hook Strength and Bite Control

The 13cm version of the Savage Gear Conger Eel 13cm uses a #5/0 hook. This provides a practical balance between holding power and a compact lure profile.

The stainless-steel construction is intended for saltwater use, but it should still be rinsed and inspected after every session.

Before fishing, confirm that the hook point is sharp and that the lure body remains positioned correctly. If the hook becomes bent, heavily corroded or blunt, stop using the Savage Gear Conger Eel 13cm until the damaged part is repaired or replaced.

Keep the Bubblegum Lure Ready to Fish

Rinse the Savage Gear Conger Eel 13cm with fresh water after every saltwater trip. Concentrate on the hook, jig head, line attachment and areas where salt may collect.

Quick Maintenance Routine

1. Rinse the lure with fresh water.
2. Dry the hook and jig head completely.
3. Inspect the body for tears.
4. Check the hook point.
5. Test the line attachment.
6. Store away from incompatible soft plastics.
7. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight and heat.

The soft body of the Savage Gear Conger Eel 13cm should be stored without crushing or sharply bending the tail, since deformation can reduce the intended swimming action.
