Quick take
A 6.5-inch 3D-scan topwater rat lure with dual trebles and a pivot body that creates realistic side-to-side motion.
This is the large Savage Gear 3D Rat, a floating topwater wakebait shaped from a 3D scan of a real rat. At 7.75 inches and 1 ounce in black, it throws a wide wake across the surface for anglers working lakes and ponds at dusk or over thick cover. A top rigging point lets you move a hook toward the rear for tighter spots.
Best for
- Night fishing for pike and large bass with topwater baits
- Triggering aggressive surface strikes in shallow water
- Anglers who fish bold, unconventional lure profiles
Skip if
- You fish clear water where artificial profiles spook fish
- You need a smaller topwater option
Strengths
- 3D-scan design based on actual rat proportions creates lifelike appearance
- Pivot body creates authentic side-to-side motion and water displacement
- Multiple tie points allow different retrieves: surface, subsurface, or deeper
Trade-offs
- The large 6.5-inch profile and 1/2 oz weight require heavier rod and line
- Dual trebles snag easily in grass and wood
- The rat profile may not appeal to all fish species in shallow water

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
