Salmo Fatso Crankbait 12cm Floating Emerald Perch

Salmo Fatso 12cm Floating — Hybrid action for big predators

The Salmo Fatso combines the lazy roll of a spoon with the versatility of a jerkbait, creating a unique hybrid lure that triggers aggressive strikes from pike, musky, and large perch. At 59g and 12cm, this floating crankbait excels in shallow to mid-depth water where big predators hunt.

Deadly versatile presentation

Whether you twitch it erratically like a jerkbait, retrieve it steadily as a wobbler, or troll it behind the boat, the Fatso adapts to your technique. Its distinctive rolling action mimics a wounded baitfish, while the floating design lets you pause over structure and triggerFollows into strikes. The substantial 59g weight delivers excellent casting distance even in wind.

Built for trophy hunting

The robust construction and sharp trebles handle the violent takes of large predators. The Emerald Perch pattern combines natural green tones with reflective flanks to imitate perch and roach—prime forage for XXL pike and musky. The floating buoyancy keeps the lure working in the strike zone above weedbeds and submerged timber.

Choose the right variant

The Fatso Floating series covers shallow to medium-depth predator fishing:

• 8cm (21g) — Perch, zander, and medium pike in shallow bays; also effective for bass and asp

• 10cm (48g) — All-round pike and musky lure for casting and trolling; ideal for 1–3m depth

• 12cm (59g) — Emerald Perch and other patterns target trophy pike and musky in open water, over weedbeds, and along drop-offs; best for heavier tackle

Popular colours include Emerald Perch, Bleeding Blue Shad (baitfish imitation), Golden Bait (high visibility), Spotted Holo Smelt (natural forage), and Bright Perch (perch pattern).
