Choose 4.5cm/3g for the stated 0.5–1.0m running depth or 6cm/6g for 1.0–1.5m. The larger lure gives a larger profile and a deeper running band. Both sizes come in Bullhead and Hot Bullhead, with identical specifications between the two colours at each size, so choose size by depth and tackle compatibility, then select the pattern.
It was developed for large brown trout and is also used for perch and zander in rivers and lakes. Its sculpin imitation and suitability for fast-flowing streams make it an option for river lure fishing, while its trolling capability also allows use on lakes. Match the selected size's running depth to the area you intend to cover.
Yes. The floating version can deflect off obstacles or be worked over them, and the supplier supports both upstream and downstream use in fast-flowing streams. An upstream cast followed by an arcing retrieve across the river is one suggested method. These capabilities help with obstacle-rich water, but do not mean the lure is snag-proof.
It supports both spinning and trolling, with zander specifically mentioned for trolling. Gentle rod movements can also vary the presentation when casting. The supplied running depths are 0.5–1.0m for 4.5cm and 1.0–1.5m for 6cm, but no separate trolling depth chart is provided, so do not treat these as speed-specific trolling figures.
It has a Salmo High Density Space-Aged Foam (HDSF) body, an end-welded through-wire construction, a polycarbonate lip and Rasco split rings made in the USA. Each lure is handcrafted and painted in Poland, then hand tuned and tank tested individually. This combines a tough body with a checked swimming setup rather than leaving the initial swim adjustment to the angler.
The pack contains one lure in your chosen variant, not a colour assortment. The supplier warns that it may contain chemicals such as lead or cadmium and that prolonged exposure can be harmful. Wash hands thoroughly after handling and keep the lure away from food and ingestion.

The Salmo Bullhead Floating is a sculpin-imitating crankbait for spinning and trolling in rivers and lakes. Originally developed for large brown trout, it is also used for perch and zander. Its floating behaviour lets you work it over obstacles, while the polycarbonate diving lip takes it below the surface during retrieval.
The 4.5cm version weighs 3g and has a stated running depth of 0.5–1.0m. Choose it for a smaller lure presentation in the shallower depth band. The 6cm version weighs 6g and runs at 1.0–1.5m, offering a larger profile and access to a deeper band. Select by the depth you want to fish and the lure weight your setup can handle. Both sizes are floating and come in Bullhead and Hot Bullhead patterns. These are alternative colour patterns with the same specifications at each size.
In fast-flowing streams, the Bullhead can be fished both upstream and downstream. One supported approach is to cast upstream and retrieve in an arc across the river back towards your position. Gentle rod movements can vary the presentation. The floating version can deflect off obstacles or be worked over them, which is useful in snag-prone stretches. Its stated running depth remains the guide when choosing areas to cover, including pools. It can also be trolled for predators such as zander.
The body uses Salmo High Density Space-Aged Foam (HDSF), a high-density foam used for a tough lure body. A through-wire construction welded at the ends provides a continuous internal connection through the lure. The polycarbonate lip controls its dive during retrieval, and the split rings are made in the USA by Rasco. Each Bullhead is handcrafted and painted in Poland, then individually tank tested and hand tuned to check its swimming performance before use.
Each pack contains one lure in the selected size and colour. The supplier warns that the product may contain chemicals such as lead or cadmium and that prolonged exposure can be harmful. Wash hands thoroughly after handling, and avoid ingestion or contact with food.
