Salmo Minnow 5cm 0.5–1.0m 3g Grayling

Salmo Minnow — Lifelike Action in the Grayling Colorway

The Salmo Minnow is one of the longest-standing lures in the Salmo range — a compact 5 cm wobbler that has earned its reputation on rivers and streams across Europe.

Subtle Action That Triggers Strikes

The Minnow's understated, natural swimming movement mimics a small baitfish with convincing realism. This makes it especially effective when predators are finicky — a gentle twitch or a stop-and-go retrieve is often all it takes to provoke a take from trout, perch, or grayling.

Versatile Presentation at 0.5–1 m Depth

Running at 0.5–1 m, this 3 g model covers the upper water column and is at home both upstream and downstream on flowing water. It can be worked across, up, or down current, and its light weight makes it ideal for finesse spinning setups with lighter rods and lines.

Choose the Right Variant

The Salmo Minnow comes in a wide range of sizes, weights, running depths, and colors to match any situation:
