Quick take
A 14 in soft plastic burbot with paddle tail and built-in rattle, sized for trophy pike and musky.
This 14-inch, 8-ounce Savage Gear swimbait in Golden Ambulence is built from a 3D-scanned burbot shape for pike and musky. It carries a built-in rattle and a ribbon tail, and it swims between 6 and 12 feet down. Anglers who want a large paddle-tail bait for bigger toothy fish will find its size and depth range a fit for that job.
