Fishing was non-existent today due to the weather.

Savage Gear MS-100-AV TPE 3D Shrimp, Avocado, 4″, 1/4oz, Sinking

Inshore saltwater sport fish see more specialized angling pressure today than any time in History. For this reason Savage Gear set out to make one of the most life-like shrimp baits possible in both looks and underwater movements to trigger these pressured fish into biting. To create the ultimate bait we started with the real thing; actual shrimp, which were then 3D scanned to create the most detailed shrimp lure possible. Rigged with a weighted ultra-sharp EWG hook.
