Salmo Minnow 5cm 0.8–1.5m 5g

Salmo Minnow 5 cm Sinking — Realistic Presentation in the Mid-Water Column

One of Salmo's longest-standing lures, the Minnow in its 5 cm / 5 g sinking configuration reaches the 0.8–1.5 m zone where predators actively hunt, delivering a lifelike action that triggers strikes from trout, perch, and other species.

Subtle Action That Fools Wary Fish

The Salmo Minnow is built around a restrained, darting action that convincingly imitates a small baitfish struggling or fleeing. Worked with short twitches or a stop-and-go retrieve, it hesitates and flutters on the pause — exactly the moment most takes occur. The sinking design lets you hold the lure in the strike zone without it rising away on a slow retrieve.

Versatile Across Waters and Techniques

This wobbler handles rivers and stillwaters equally well. In flowing water it can be worked upstream or downstream, and its weight allows accurate casting even in light crosswinds. It can be bounced along the bottom to search deeper holding areas or kept mid-column over weed edges and current seams — covering a wide range of trout and perch lies without changing lures.

Choose the Right Variant

The Salmo Minnow Wobbler family spans three lengths, two swimming actions, and a range of depths to match the water and species you're targeting:

• 5 cm / 3 g / 0.5–1 m / Twitching, Stop and Go — ultralight setup, shallow streams and pockets, trout and small perch

• 5 cm / 3 g / 0.5–1 m / Twitching / Stop and Go — similar ultralight use across shallow runs

• 5 cm / 3 g / 0.5–1 m / Grayling colour — shallow grayling water

• 5 cm / 5 g / 0.8–1.5 m / Sinking (current product) — mid-depth rivers and lakes, sinking action, trout and perch

• 5 cm / 5 g / 0.8–1.5 m / Dace colour / Twitching, Stop and Go — same depth band, active twitching retrieve

• 5 cm / 5 g / 0.8–1.5 m / Grayling colour — same depth, grayling-pattern finish

• 6 cm / 4 g / 0.5–1 m / Twitching, Stop and Go — shallow to mid, slightly larger profile, perch and trout

• 6 cm / 4 g / 0.5–1 m / Grayling / Spirlin / Dace / Olive Bleak colours — same depth, colour-matched to local baitfish

• 6 cm / 6 g / 1–1.5 m / Twitching, Stop and Go — medium-depth rivers and lakes, perch and trout

• 6 cm / 6 g / 1–1.5 m / Grayling / Olive Bleak colours — same depth range, natural finish

• 7 cm / 8 g / 1.5–2 m / Sinking — deeper water, larger predators, pike and bigger perch

• 7 cm / 8 g / 1.5–2 m / Dace / Grayling / Wounded Dace colours — same deep profile, varied finishes

• 7 cm / 6 g / 1–1.5 m / Twitching / Stop and Go — mid-depth, Minnow-type profile

• 7 cm / 6 g / 1–1.5 m / Twitching, Stop and Go — same, Dace colour option
