Salmo Fatso Crankbait 12cm Floating Spotted Brown Perch

Salmo Fatso 12cm – the floating hybrid that triggers strikes like no other

The Fatso combines the lazy roll of a big spoon with the erratic action of a jerkbait, opening up entirely new presentations for pike, musky, and large perch.

Versatile action triggers aggressive takes

Whether you twitch it like a jerkbait, crank it steadily, or troll it behind the boat, the Fatso's unique hybrid design provokes reaction strikes. Its slow, wobbling retrieve mimics a wounded baitfish, while sharp jerks send it darting unpredictably through the water column.

Built to handle big predators

At 59 g and 12 cm, this floating version casts like a bullet and dives to the strike zone before rising back up on the pause. The robust construction and realistic Spotted Brown Perch finish make it a go-to lure for targeting trophy fish in both clear and stained water.

Choose the right variant

The Fatso series offers three sizes and multiple colour patterns to match your target species and conditions:

• Fatso Floating 8 cm, 21 g – ideal for perch, zander, and smaller pike in shallow water or pressured venues

• Fatso Floating 10 cm, 48 g – the all-rounder for pike and musky in medium depths; works as a search bait or finesse presentation

• Fatso Floating 12 cm, 59 g – the current model; designed for trophy pike, musky, and big perch in deeper water or when you need maximum casting distance and a larger profile

• Colour options include naturalistic patterns (Spotted Brown Perch, Emerald Perch, Bright Perch) for clear water, high-contrast finishes (Golden Bait, Bleeding Blue Shad) for murky conditions, and flash patterns (Holo Tiger, Silver Halo, Spotted Holo Smelt) for low light or active fish
