Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Perch anglers fishing shallow margins and weed edges. The smaller sizes and lively darting action are well suited to working cover with pauses and short twitches.
- Pike anglers wanting a suspending search lure. The larger option offers more presence, while the horizontal pause can keep the lure in front of following fish.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers targeting deep water. The Gravity Twitch is designed for shallow to midwater work, so you’ll want a deeper-running plug for the deck.
- Ultra-light lure fishers using tiny tackle. Even the smaller model needs a setup matched to its weight and trebles, rather than the finest-finesse gear.

Quick verdict
Verdict
The Gravity Twitch is a cracking little hard lure for working shallow and midwater zones, especially when pike or perch want a lure that pauses, kicks and changes direction rather than simply ploughing along.
Its suspending balance, magnetic casting system and lively twitching action make it properly versatile. Just pick the size to suit your target and water, and don’t expect one model to cover every depth or fishing style.

The lure combines detailed finishes with forged split rings, a stainless-steel snap and two treble hooks.
The darting, wobbling and kicking action, plus the magnetic casting system, give it plenty of retrieve options.
Horizontal suspension and a useful pause can trigger fish that follow active lures without taking.
Cast it, twitch it and pause it; the basic retrieve is simple, while more advanced rhythms are easy to explore.
The feature set and size range are strong, though one lure per pack makes snags and bite-offs feel costly.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Savage Gear Gravity Twitch
The Savage Gear Gravity Twitch is the sort of lure you reach for when a straight retrieve feels a bit too predictable. It’s a suspending hard lure built for sharp changes of direction, little pauses and a lively kick that can make a following perch or pike finally commit. Proper handy when the fish are looking but not bosh-ing everything that swims past.
There are three main size options: 6.7cm, 8.3cm and 9.5cm. The listed weights are 6g, 10g and 15g respectively, giving you a decent spread for smaller perch work through to more substantial pike fishing. That choice matters, mind. Don’t just grab the biggest one because you fancy a lump. Match the lure to the baitfish, water clarity and tackle in front of you.
The smallest 6.7cm version runs at approximately 0.5–1m. That’s a useful depth for shallow canals, margins, weed tops and the upper layers of a small lake. It’s also the natural starting point when perch are on the munch but the water’s too shallow for a deep-diving plug. Keep it moving with short twitches, then give it a cheeky pause beside cover.
The 8.3cm model works a little deeper, around 0.6–1.3m. That makes it a useful all-rounder for many UK venues, sitting in the zone where predators often cruise. You can fish it over weed, along reed lines or across a flat without constantly burying the nose in the bottom. It’s probably the size most anglers will find easiest to build a session around.
The 9.5cm version runs at approximately 0.7–1.5m and carries the most presence of the trio. That’s the one to look at when you’re after pike, fishing bigger water or trying to imitate a more sizeable baitfish. It still isn’t a deep-water lure, but it gives you a bigger profile while keeping the presentation in that shallow-to-midwater window.
The key feature is the horizontal suspending balance. When you stop winding, the lure hangs naturally rather than racing towards the surface. That pause is the business. A predator can track it, turn on it and have a proper think before the next twitch sends the lure darting away. In clear water, that change from movement to stillness can be the whole bite-time.
Its action combines darting, wobbling and kicking. In plain English, it doesn’t just wobble down the bank like a bored taxi. A sharp rod tap can make it kick sideways, while a smoother retrieve gives you more wobble and roll. Vary the rhythm until you find what the fish fancy. Some days they want aggressive rips; other days, two inches of movement and a long pause does the job.
Casting is helped by a magnetic long-cast system with a sliding iron core. That core helps the lure load up during the cast and settle into a stable flight, which is dead handy when you’re trying to reach the far side of a canal or put a lure tight to a reed line. It won’t turn a tiny lure into a missile, but it’s a useful bit of design.
There’s also a built-in tubular rattle chamber, detailed photo-print fish patterns and predator-ready hardware. The lure comes with forged strong split rings, a stainless-steel egg snap and two treble hooks. As ever, check the hooks and snap before fishing snaggy venues, and make sure your trace and main line are up to the pike job. No point having a cracking lure attached to a bit of cheese string.

Our take
The angle
This is all about controlled pauses and sharp changes of direction. The Gravity Twitch can be cast, twitched, paused and worked back with a nice little sequence that keeps the lure hanging horizontally in the strike zone.
That makes it a useful option for clear margins, weed edges, shallow bays and canals where a fast-rising or nose-down lure can look a bit naff. A cheeky pause beside cover is often where the magic happens.
What you’re buying
A suspending twitchbait with three useful size choices
The Gravity Twitch is a hard lure designed to sit in shallow to midwater zones and react to rod movement. Its darting, wobbling and kicking action gives you plenty to play with, from a fairly steady retrieve through to sharp twitches followed by pauses. The horizontal suspension is the headline feature, especially around cover where predators can follow before committing.
The magnetic long-cast system uses a sliding iron core to help the lure cast and settle during flight. Add the built-in tubular rattle chamber and detailed photo-print fish patterns, and you’ve got a lure that offers both movement and a bit of calling power. It’s supplied with two trebles, forged strong split rings and a strong stainless-steel egg snap.
Worth knowing. One pack contains one lure. That sounds obvious, but it’s worth remembering when you’re fishing snaggy margins or pike waters. Pick your trace, snap and tackle carefully, because losing a single lure is a proper gutting end to a session.
On the bank
Built for shallow predators and changing retrieves
Perch anglers should look closely at the 6.7cm and 8.3cm versions. Work them across shallow flats, along weed edges and beside reeds. Use short rod taps to make the lure kick, then pause. If perch are following, that horizontal hang can give them the final nudge to have a go.
For pike, the 8.3cm and 9.5cm models offer a more substantial profile. Fish them over weed, along drop-offs and through the upper layers of a lake. Keep a proper wire or suitable predator trace in the system, particularly where pike are present. A light perch setup isn’t the place for this job.
The lure is less useful when you need to get deep quickly. It’s also not the obvious choice for ultra-light finesse fishing, particularly with the larger options and their treble hooks. Think of it as a versatile search lure for the upper water, not a bottom-bashing crankbait.
Quick answers
The bits anglers usually want to know
The running depth changes with the model. The 6.7cm is approximately 0.5–1m, the 8.3cm around 0.6–1.3m and the 9.5cm around 0.7–1.5m. Real depth will still vary with line, retrieve speed and tackle angle, so use those figures as a working guide rather than a ruler.
To fish it, cast beyond your target line, let the lure settle, then start with a steady retrieve and add twitches. Try a twitch-twitch-pause pattern around weed and cover. If the water is clear, lengthen the pause. If the fish are aggressive, speed things up and make the lure kick harder.
Worth knowing. Suspending lures can behave slightly differently with different line, trace and snap arrangements. Keep the setup neat, avoid oversized hardware and check the lure’s balance before starting a serious search. A clean horizontal hang is exactly what makes this style so effective.
On paper
Pros & cons
What we like
- Suspending horizontal balance gives you proper control during pauses.
- Magnetic sliding iron-core system helps with casting distance and lure stability.
- Darting, wobbling and kicking action covers a range of retrieve styles.
- Three sizes give you options for perch, pike and different water depths.
- Strong terminal hardware is ready for predator work straight from the pack.
Worth knowing
- The shallow-to-midwater depth range won’t suit deep open-water work without changing lure style.
- Small 6g version may need suitable light tackle to cast comfortably.
- A fixed one-lure pack means losing one to a snag is a proper pain in the wallet.
