Salmo Slider Sinking Jerkbait 12cm 1

Salmo Slider Sinking 12cm — The legendary glider that started it all

The Salmo Slider is the first European glider lure and remains a true icon among predator anglers. Its unique shape and one-of-a-kind action have earned countless awards and rave reviews worldwide, making it one of the most copied lure designs in history. The beauty of the Slider lies in its versatility: every retrieve technique works, whether you're gliding it slowly or working it aggressively.

Unmistakable gliding action that triggers strikes

The Slider's distinctive body shape creates an erratic side-to-side glide that mimics a disoriented baitfish. This hypnotic movement proves irresistible to pike, zander, perch, and other predators. The sinking version lets you control depth precisely, fishing anywhere from just below the surface down to 1–2 m, making it ideal for exploring different water layers until you find active fish.

Built tough for big predators

At 70 g and 12 cm, this Real Roach version is designed for trophy hunting. The realistic roach pattern with natural scales and red fins excels in clear water and when roach are the primary forage. Robust construction and quality hooks handle aggressive strikes and hard fights, while the weight allows long, accurate casts even in windy conditions.
