Savage Gear 4D Line-Thru Roach Slow Sinking Perch 18 cm is a highly realistic soft pike lure that imitates a roach impressively in both appearance and movement. Looking for a large swimbait for pike that swims with a natural S-curve action and tempts big predators to strike? This 18 cm slow sinking model is based on a 3D scan of a real roach, and the lifelike 4D colour details together with the natural swimming action make the lure convincing even in clear water.

Roach is one of the most important prey fish for many freshwater predators, which is why Savage Gear has built the 4D Roach series around as realistic a profile, movement, and level of detail as possible. Savage Gear 4D Line-Thru Roach Slow Sinking Perch 18 cm sinks slowly, making it effective in shallow bays, along vegetation, and in areas where pike often follow the lure for a while before committing to the strike.

Line-Thru construction improves hook-up ratio

Savage Gear’s developed Line-Thru system allows the hook to move freely outside the body at the lure’s widest point. This improves hook-up ratio and helps keep the fish pinned during the fight, as the lure body is less likely to act as leverage when the fish shakes its head. The included Little Line Thru Modifier also makes it possible to adapt the lure for two treble hooks.

Slow sink rate and attractive glide

In the Slow Sinking version, the Line-Thru channel runs through the mouth, and the lure sinks very slowly. It can be fished with steady retrieve, twitches, or spin-stop technique, where the high body profile creates a clear S-curve action and a side-cutting movement. On the pause, the lure glides attractively, which can trigger a hard strike even from a cautious pike.

Realistic construction for hard use

The lure has a hard foam core and a soft outer shell, combining durability with a natural feel. The extremely sharp SGY 1X BN hooks provide secure hook-ups, and the reusable clampack packaging protects the lure during transport and storage. The Perch colour works especially well when pike are hunting perch or reacting strongly to a striped predator profile.
