Salmo Minnow 5cm 0.5–1.0m 5g Yasame Ayu

Salmo Minnow 5cm Yasame Ayu — Classic Action in the Shallows

A legend since the early '90s, the Salmo Minnow in Yasame Ayu finish delivers proven predator-fooling action in a compact 5cm floating profile built for shallow-water strikes.

Realistic Movement That Triggers Bites

Crafted from Salmo's High-Density Space-Aged Foam (HDSAF — a dense, precision-engineered foam body material), this 5cm Minnow achieves a lifelike buoyancy and wobbling action that closely mimics a fleeing or wounded baitfish. Every retrieve — whether straight and steady or twitched erratically — produces the kind of subtle, convincing movement that makes predators commit. It is individually hand-tuned and tank-tested so it performs consistently straight out of the box.

Built to Withstand Hard Strikes

Thru-wire construction welded at both ends ensures the lure holds together even under the most aggressive takes. Super-sharp Black Nickel VMC hooks deliver secure hooksets, while the polycarbonate lip gives precise depth control and consistent movement at the 0.5–1.0m (1.5–3.5ft) running depth. Rasco split rings add superior strength at every connection point — hardware designed to handle trout, perch, and other hard-fighting predators.

Choose the Right Variant

The Salmo Minnow Yasame Ayu range covers three size and depth options to match your target species and water column. Pick the size that fits the fish you're after and the depth you're fishing:

Minnow Floating 5cm Yasame Ayu (5g, 0.5–1.0m / 1.5–3.5ft) — ideal for targeting trout, perch, and smaller predators in shallow runs, streams, and the upper water column; suits light to medium spinning tackle
Minnow 6cm Yasame Ayu (6g, 1.0–1.5m) — a step up in size for medium-depth presentations, covering a wider range of predatory species
Minnow Floating 7cm Yasame Ayu (8g, 1.5–2.0m) — the largest Yasame Ayu option, suited to deeper water, bigger predators, and heavier spinning or cast-and-retrieve setups
