Salmo Chubby Darter 3cm 3.2g Sinking Red Tail Shiner

Salmo Chubby Darter — Compact Sinking Wobbler for Perch and Pike-Perch

The Salmo Chubby Darter is a purpose-built vertical jigging and casting lure that combines a slow, controlled sink with a darting action predators find hard to ignore.

Slow Sink, Natural Action

At 3 cm and 3.2 g, this compact wobbler drops at a measured pace that keeps it in the strike zone longer. When lifted on a vertical rod, it responds with a lifelike wounded-baitfish movement — exactly the trigger that perch and pike-perch react to in cold, clear water or under pressure.

Through-Wire Build for Reliable Hook-Ups

A full through-wire construction connects the attachment point directly to the treble hooks, so even hard-running predators cannot separate body from hardware mid-fight. The sharp, robust trebles hold fast from first run to the net.

Choose the Right Variant

The Chubby Darter sinking is available in two sizes and several colour patterns. Match size to target species and water depth, and colour to water clarity and light conditions.

• 3 cm / 3.2 g — Red Tail Shiner (current product): compact profile; ideal for perch in shallow to mid-depth vertical fishing or light-jig casting

• 3 cm / 3.2 g — Gold Yellow Perch: same compact size; natural perch-imitating colour for pressured fish or clear water

• 3 cm / 3.2 g — Silver Red Orange: high-contrast finish; productive in low-light or stained water

• 3 cm / 3.2 g — Dace: subtle natural pattern; good all-round choice for trout and perch in clean rivers

• 3 cm / 3.2 g — Real Roach: realistic roach imitation; effective on pike-perch and larger perch

• 4 cm / 6 g — Red Tail Shiner: larger profile, deeper reach; suited to pike-perch and larger perch in deeper water or stronger current

• 4 cm / 6 g — Silver Red Orange: heavier version for deeper vertical presentations or faster flows

• 4 cm / 6 g — Dace: bigger profile for pike-perch; works well ice fishing or in deep lakes
