Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Pike anglers fishing larger lures. The 20cm baitfish shape gives you a proper big-fish profile for searching likely pike water.
- Anglers who like controlled, slower presentations. The slow-sinking action lets you work depth and keep the lure in the strike zone without rushing it.
Maybe skip if
- Light-lure anglers. At 65g, it’s a serious bit of kit and needs a rod, reel and line setup built for predator fishing.
- Anyone wanting a tiny, ultra-subtle bait. This is a bold 20cm imitation, not a finesse lure for small prey situations.

Quick verdict
Verdict
The Savage Gear 4D Line Thru Pike 20cm is a cracking choice when you want a proper mouthful of lure and a controlled, slow-sinking presentation. The line-thru system keeps the lure body away from the hook during the fight, while the included rig makes setup nice and straightforward.
It’s not a subtle little search bait for every swim. At 20cm and 65g, this is aimed squarely at pike anglers who like a big profile, deliberate retrieves and a lure that can be worked around drop-offs, weed edges and deeper margins.
A strong big-lure package with useful rigging and a controlled action, scoring well for anglers targeting pike on substantial imitations.

The lure combines a detailed finish with a line-thru system, Carbon49 leader material and an ST36 treble.
The slow-sinking action should give you good control over depth and retrieve speed.
A 20cm profile, scent, rattle option and pike-style finish give it plenty of pulling power in the right conditions.
It arrives pre-rigged and includes the Line Thru Modifier, keeping setup relatively simple.
There’s a useful amount of rigging and attraction built in, though its specialist big-lure role won’t suit every pike angler.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Savage Gear 4D Line Thru Pike 20cm
Big pike lures have a time and place. When the water’s holding decent prey, or you simply want to put a proper mouthful in front of a hungry predator, a 20cm baitfish imitation can be just the ticket. The Savage Gear 4D Line Thru Pike sits right in that bracket, bringing a chunky profile without turning the retrieve into hard work.
This version measures 20cm and weighs 65g, so it’s no dainty little perch imitation. It’s a substantial lure for proper pike tackle, built for anglers who want presence. You can cover water with it, slow things down over a drop-off, or work it along a weed edge where a bigger silhouette might tempt a lurking lump.
The action is slow sinking. That’s a really useful trait on the bank because you’re not forced to burn the lure back just to keep it moving. Count it down, keep the rod angle sensible and vary the retrieve until you find where the fish are sitting. A couple of turns, a pause and a cheeky twitch can be all it takes to make the lure look vulnerable.
The line-thru system is the clever bit. Rather than having the hook fixed rigidly to the lure body, the setup allows the body to sit separately from the hook and leader arrangement. That can help keep the lure body away from the pike’s head shakes during a scrap. It also means you can change the line-thru rig without binning the whole lure body.
You’re not starting from scratch, either. The lure comes pre-rigged with Carbon49 leader material, a red ST36 treble hook and a Line Thru Modifier. That makes it much less faffy when you’re keen to get fishing. Still, give the hook, split points and leader a proper once-over before the first cast, especially if the lure has been knocking around in the box.
Visually, the 4D Photo Chrome Skin Print is designed to give the lure a realistic pike-style finish. The 20cm model is listed in SS 01 Striped Pike and 03 Fire Tiger. The natural-looking striped option makes obvious sense in clearer water or when you want a familiar prey shape, while Fire Tiger gives you a louder option for coloured water and low-light conditions.
There’s more than looks going on here. A DNA scent or attractant adds another sensory cue, and the tail rattle slot gives you the option of extra noise from the rear of the lure. Pike don’t always need bells and whistles, but on a windy, murky day or when the fish are proving awkward, those extra signals can be handy.
The size does mean you need to match your tackle properly. A 65g lure wants a predator rod with enough casting capacity, plus a reel, braid and bite-resistant leader setup you can trust. Don’t lob it on unsuitable gear and hope for the best, mate. Smooth casting, sound knots and regular checks are all part of fishing a lure this size safely.
As for where it fits into a session, think margins, weed lines, deeper shelves and the edges of known pike areas. The slow sink lets you explore different depths, while the big profile gives the fish something obvious to track. It won’t be the answer every day, but when the pike are on bigger prey, this is a properly useful tool to have clipped up.

Our take
The angle
Big pike profile, less faff. The 4D Line Thru Pike brings together a photo-real finish, DNA attractant, a tail rattle slot and a ready-to-go line-thru rig. That gives you plenty to work with when the water’s coloured or the pike are looking for a decent-sized meal.
What you’re buying
A big, slow-sinking pike imitation with a practical rig
The 4D Line Thru Pike 20cm is a 65g predator lure with a slow-sinking action. Its large profile is built to imitate a sizeable baitfish, giving pike a clear target rather than a tiny morsel that can disappear in the swim.
The line-thru system is the headline feature. It uses an easy-change line-thru rig, and the lure includes a Line Thru Modifier. It also arrives pre-rigged with Carbon49 leader material and a red ST36 treble hook, so there’s less messing about before you can get on the bank.
The body combines a 4D Photo Chrome Skin Print with DNA scent or attractant and a tail rattle slot. That gives you visual, scent and sound elements to play with, although the biggest appeal remains the lure’s substantial pike profile and controlled sink.
Worth knowing. The listed 20cm colour choices are SS 01 Striped Pike and 03 Fire Tiger. Product codes are 61786 for SS 01 Striped Pike and 61787 for 03 Fire Tiger.
On the bank
Best used when you want presence and control
This is a good fit for pike anglers who like working larger lures through known areas. Fish it around weed edges, along margins and over depth changes, using the slow sink to find the level where the pike are sitting. A steady retrieve mixed with pauses gives the lure time to stay in the window.
The Striped Pike colour is the more natural-looking option of the two listed finishes. Fire Tiger is the cheekier choice when visibility is poor or you want the lure to stand out. Whichever one you pick, keep your retrieve changes deliberate rather than frantically winding it back every cast.
It suits a proper predator setup rather than light lure gear. At 65g, make sure your rod has the casting capacity, your connections are sound and your bite-resistant leader arrangement is up to the job. Pike tackle isn’t the place for cutting corners.
Quick answers
The bits anglers usually want to know
It’s slow sinking. That makes it useful for counting down into different depths and working it patiently around features without having to keep the lure moving quickly.
The lure is pre-rigged with Carbon49 leader material and fitted with a red ST36 treble hook. The Line Thru Modifier is included as part of the setup.
Use suitable pike lure tackle rated for a 65g lure, with appropriate braid and a reliable bite-resistant leader. Check the hook and leader regularly, particularly after contact with snags or a fish.
