Salmo Minnow 5cm 0.5–1.0m 3g

Salmo Minnow 5 cm / 3 g — Lifelike Action in Shallow Water

One of Salmo's most enduring lures, the Minnow Wobbler at 5 cm and 3 g is built for shallow presentations where a subtle, natural retrieve makes all the difference. Its delicate action mimics a real baitfish convincingly enough to fool even cautious predators.

Subtle Action That Triggers Strikes

The Salmo Minnow is designed to imitate injured or disoriented prey. Its hesitant, lifelike wobble works at a slow retrieve, making it ideal for twitching and stop-and-go techniques. The pauses are where the bites happen — letting the lure hang briefly in the water column is often enough to provoke a reaction from trout, perch, and other predators.

Built for Rivers and Shallow Runs

With a running depth of 0.5–1 m, this variant excels in clear, shallow rivers, streams, and canal margins. It can be worked both upstream and downstream, and its compact 5 cm profile is well suited to waters where smaller baitfish are the natural prey. The light 3 g weight pairs well with lighter spinning tackle and shorter casts under overhanging banks or around structure.
