Salmo Butcher Sinking Crankbait 5cm 7g 1–2m Yamame Ayu

Salmo Butcher Sinking — Target Predators at Depth

The Salmo Butcher Sinking crankbait in 5 cm combines an aggressive wobbling action with precise depth control, making it your go-to lure for perch, pike, bass, trout, and chub in rivers, lakes, and canals.

Aggressive Wobbling Action Triggers Strikes

The bulbous baitfish profile generates an irresistible wobble that provokes aggressive strikes from a wide range of freshwater predators. Hand-tuned and tank-tested, every Butcher delivers consistent action straight out of the box, so you can focus on fishing instead of adjustments.

Sinking Design for Deeper Water Columns

Weighing 7 g, the sinking version reaches depths of 1.0 m when casting and up to 2.0 m when trolling. This makes it ideal for targeting fish holding deeper in the water column or exploring structure below the surface. Premium VMC treble hooks in size 8 ensure solid hooksets and reliable performance.
