Salmo Bullhead 6cm 1.5–2.5m 8g Hot Bullhead

Salmo Bullhead 6cm — The Trophy Hunter's Sculpin

This 8g sinking crankbait dives to 1.5–2.5m and mimics a fleeing sculpin with lifelike action that triggers strikes from brown trout, perch, and other predators in rivers and lakes.

Proven Sculpin Imitation Since 1991

The Bullhead's realistic body shape and swimming action replicate the natural movement of a bottom-dwelling sculpin. Originally designed for trophy brown trout, anglers have found it equally deadly on perch, chub, and other predatory species. The sinking version allows you to work deeper pools, undercuts, and structure where big fish hold.

Built to Last Every Cast

Constructed from Salmo's High Density Space-Aged Foam (HDSF) body with thru-wire construction welded at the ends, this lure withstands hard strikes and repeated contact with rocks and timber. The polycarbonate lip drives the dive depth and ensures consistent wobble. Every Bullhead is hand-tuned and tank-tested in Poland before shipping, so it swims perfectly straight from the package.

Choose the Right Variant

The Bullhead range offers options for different depths and conditions:

• 4.5cm Bullhead (5g, 1–2m) — compact profile for smaller streams, cautious fish, or lighter tackle

• 4.5cm Hot Bullhead (5g, 1–2m) — same size with high-contrast fluorescent pattern for stained water or low light

• 6cm Bullhead (8g, 1.5–2.5m) — larger silhouette and deeper dive for medium to large rivers and lakes

• 6cm Hot Bullhead (8g, 1.5–2.5m) — this model; extra visibility in murky conditions or active feeding windows
