Salmo Bullhead 4.5cm — The Sculpin Imitation That Catches Trophy Trout

The Salmo Bullhead Sinking 4.5cm in Hot Bullhead is a proven crankbait that mimics a sculpin with uncanny realism. Hand-crafted in Poland and tank-tested before shipping, it delivers irresistible action that triggers aggressive strikes from brown trout, perch, and other predators in rivers and stillwaters.

Unmatched Durability in Tough Conditions

Built from Salmo's proprietary High Density Space-Aged Foam (HDSF), the Bullhead withstands repeated impacts with rocks, timber, and gravel—exactly where sculpin-feeding fish hunt. Thru-wire construction welded at the ends and a tough polycarbonate lip ensure this lure stays in the fight, season after season.

Hand-Tuned Action Straight Out of the Box

Every Bullhead is individually hand-tuned and tank-tested in Poland, guaranteeing perfect swimming behavior from the first cast. The sinking model reaches depths of 1–2m and maintains a tight, erratic wobble that imitates a fleeing sculpin—no adjustment required.

Choose the Right Variant

The Bullhead family offers two sizes and multiple color patterns to match local forage and fishing conditions:

• Bullhead Sinking 4.5cm — 5g, 1–2m depth; ideal for small rivers, shallow runs, and targeting brown trout, grayling, and perch in tight spots

• Bullhead Sinking 6cm — 8g, 1.5–2.5m depth; better casting distance and deeper presentation for larger rivers and lake margins

• Hot Bullhead — high-contrast pattern with fluorescent accents; excels in stained water, low light, and fast currents where visibility is key

• Bullhead — natural sculpin imitation; perfect for clear water and pressured fish that demand realistic profiles
