Savage Gear has released the Savage Gear 3D Bluegill Line Thru Swimbait, designed to mimic the natural movements of a struggling bluegill.
The multi-jointed swimbait delivers an ultra-realistic swimming action that features a unique hook release system, allowing the feathered treble hook to detach from the belly slot upon hookset—ensuring optimal hook penetration and reducing lost fish.
Derived from actual bluegill and crappie scans, its photo-realistic colors bring an unmatched level of realism, while the multi-jointed body creates an enticing, fluid swimming motion whether retrieved steadily, paused, or fished as a wakebait.
The six-inch bait is available in four ultra-natural color patterns. It’s built with both top and bottom hook rigging options, allowing anglers to adjust their presentation based on structure, cover, and fish behavior.
SAVAGE GEAR 3D BLUEGILL LINE THRU SWIMBAIT – KEY FEATURES:
- Crafted from a 3D scan of a real bluegill
- Line thru with top and bottom hook options
- Photo print colors and details from an actual fish
Size: 6-inch

Savage Report
Savage Gear has introduced the Savage Gear 3D Soft Shine Glide 7-inch Glide Bait—a meticulously engineered bait designed to tempt even the wariest predators.
Featuring a hyper-realistic swimming and gliding action, this lure mimics the natural movements of a fleeing baitfish, making it an irresistible target for big fish lurking within cover.
Built for versatility, it was designed to excel on medium to fast retrieves, activating the natural tail kick that triggers aggressive strikes. When paused on a steady retrieve, the bait subtly wanders to the side, mimicking an inquisitive or injured fish—an easy meal for opportunistic predators. The innovative line-thru treble system, paired with a modified, feathered hook, tucks neatly into the molded belly slot, ensuring the hook stays secure until a fish is hooked. Once engaged, the hook dislodges, improving landing ratios and preventing leverage that could cause lost fish.
“The Savage Gear 3D Soft Shine Glide is a great alternative for glide bait anglers,” said Adam Ott, Savage Gear Brand Manager. “Its ability to deliver both a steady, natural swim and a dynamic walk-in-place action gives anglers the versatility they need to entice fish in any situation. Whether you're fishing around docks, laydowns, or open water, this bait is designed to call fish out of hiding and provoke explosive strikes."
Perfect for targeting trophy bass, pike, and other predatory fish, the 3D Soft Shine Glide excels in a variety of presentations. Anglers can work it with a chop/twitch cadence to create an erratic, walk-in-place action just beneath the surface—ideal for drawing in fish from a distance. Available in eight lifelike colors, this lure combines realism, innovation, and effectiveness to make it an essential tool for serious anglers looking to land their next big catch.
SAVAGE GEAR 3D SOFT SHINE GLIDE – KEY FEATURES:
- Line-thru construction
- Feathered treble on a line thru rigger
- Available in 8 ultra-realistic colors
Size: 7-inch
Colors: Gold Shiner • Hitch • Gizzard • Purple Shad • Threadfin • Chartreuse Shad • Bone • Bluegill

Costa Report
Josh Shankle and Rachel Moore worlds have been shaped by chasing adventures on the water—from diving with sharks and swimming with whales to crossing oceans and uncovering marine environments.
Now, their experiences inspire the next evolution of hybrid eyewear: Rincon II and Panga II from Costa Sunglasses. Costa’s development team worked hand-in-hand with Shankle and Moore to create these hybrid designs, which upgrade popular lifestyle staples Rincon and Panga with performance features. Updates include new micro shields and hooding, vented nose pads, and double-injected frames, providing elevated coverage, improved ventilation, and greater durability. Their insights shaped every part of the process–from first sketch to rigorous environment testing–resulting in frames that elevate their predecessors with versatility, bridging life on and off the water.
Josh Shankle is an avid surfer, sailor, freediver, and scuba diver who sees the ocean as both his workplace and playground. His journeys demand gear that performs under pressure, and Rincon II delivers—handling offshore expeditions while looking sharp back on the dock.
"After more than a decade out at sea, I’ve learned just how relentless the sun can be and how essential it is to see clearly,” says Josh Shankle. “It has been an honor to work with Costa to upgrade my go-to frames–making them even better for long days on the water and taking in even more of what’s out there.”
