Salmo Bullhead Floating 4.5cm 0.5–1m 3g Hot Bullhead

Salmo Bullhead Floating 4.5cm — Trophy Trout Meet Their Match

The Salmo Bullhead has earned its reputation as one of the finest sculpin imitations ever crafted. Hand-made in Poland and tank-tested before shipping, this 4.5cm floating crankbait delivers irresistible action that triggers strikes from brown trout, perch, chub, and other predators in rivers and lakes alike.

Unmatched Sculpin Realism

Every detail mimics the profile and movement of a live sculpin. The combination of lifelike shape, carefully chosen color patterns, and natural swimming action makes the Bullhead virtually impossible for trophy fish to ignore. Originally designed to tempt large brown trout, it has proven equally deadly on a wide range of predatory species.

Built to Last Season After Season

Constructed from Salmo's proprietary High Density Space-Aged Foam (HDSF) with thru-wire construction welded at both ends, the Bullhead withstands repeated strikes and snags that would destroy lesser lures. The polycarbonate lip ensures consistent depth and wobble, while USA-made Rasco split rings provide secure hook connections. Each lure is individually hand-tuned to swim perfectly straight from the box.
