Salmo Chubby Darter 4cm Sinking Dace Blue

Salmo Chubby Darter 4cm Sinking — Precision Vertical Lure for Perch & Trout

The Salmo Chubby Darter is a purpose-built vertical wobbler (VW) designed for ice fishing and vertical jigging, delivering a tight, darting action that draws strikes from perch, trout, and other predators.

Built for the Vertical Drop

The Chubby Darter's sinking design lets it fall fast and true through the water column — ideal for presenting the lure directly beneath the rod tip when ice fishing or vertical jigging from a boat. The compact 4 cm body produces an erratic, darting movement on the lift-and-drop that triggers reaction bites even from finicky fish.

Tough Hardware You Can Trust

A continuous through-wire construction with welded ends ensures the frame stays intact under the strain of hard-fighting fish. Sharp treble hooks and robust split rings complete the setup, so you're not losing fish to bent hooks or failed connections in cold, demanding conditions.

Choose the Right Variant

The Salmo Chubby Darter sinking 4 cm comes in two colour options — pick the one that best matches your target species and water clarity:

• Salmo Chubby Darter 4cm Sinking – Dace Blue: a natural, blue-toned baitfish pattern; effective in clear water and open daylight conditions, particularly for perch and trout.

• Salmo Chubby Darter 4cm Sinking – Ice Perch: a perch-imitating colour; a classic choice under ice or in low-light/stained water where contrast and familiar prey patterns matter.
