Salmo Fatso Jerkbait 12cm 71g Bright Perch Sinking

Salmo Fatso 12cm — Cast Far, Fish Deep, Trigger Bites

The Salmo Fatso in 12cm and 71g is a heavyweight hybrid that blends the flutter of a spoon with the strike-triggering action of a jerkbait. Its sinking design and substantial weight let you probe deep water and cover vast areas with minimal effort.

Versatile Hybrid Action

The Fatso's lazy, wobbling retrieve mimics wounded baitfish, yet responds instantly to rod twitches for aggressive jerk sequences. Work it slow as a crankbait, snap it erratically as a jerkbait, or troll it behind the boat—each technique unlocks strikes from pike, muskie, and large zander.

Long-Distance Casting Power

At 71g, this lure punches through wind and reaches distant structure, dropoffs, and weed edges where trophy predators hunt. The sinking profile keeps you in the strike zone longer, especially over deep basins and along steep banks.

Choose the Right Variant

Salmo offers the Fatso Sinking in three sizes to match forage and target species:

• 8cm / 25g — Perch, smaller pike, zander in shallow to mid-depth water; versatile for casting and vertical jigging

• 10cm / 52g — All-round predator lure for pike, zander, and bass; ideal for medium-depth trolling and long casts

• 12cm / 71g — Bright Perch and other colours for pike, muskie, and trophy zander; deep water, long-distance casting, and open-water trolling

Available colours include Bright Perch, Bleeding Blue Shad, Spotted Brown Perch, Spotted Holo Smelt, Emerald Perch, Holo Tiger, Golden Bait, and Silver Halo.
