Salmo Minnow 5cm 0.8–1.5m 5g Grayling

Salmo Minnow — Lifelike Action in a Compact 5 cm Profile

The Salmo Minnow Wobbler is one of the most enduring lures in the Salmo lineup — a 5 cm, 5 g wobbler that runs 0.8–1.5 m deep and earns its keep on trout, perch, and other predators wherever a realistic baitfish silhouette matters.

Subtle Action That Convinces Wary Fish

The Minnow's restrained, lifelike wobble sets it apart from more aggressive cranks. It mimics a natural baitfish so convincingly that even pressured fish will commit. Whether you work it upstream or downstream in rivers, or over structure in still water, it tracks true and draws strikes on the swing, the pause, and everything in between.

Versatile Retrieve Styles in One Lure

Twitching and stop-and-go retrieves are where this lure excels, triggering reaction bites as the Minnow darts and then suspends momentarily. It also covers the bottom effectively when needed, making it a go-to choice when fish are holding deep or inactive. The 0.8–1.5 m running depth puts it right in the strike zone for mid-column predators in most river and lake scenarios.

Choose the Right Variant

The Salmo Minnow is available in multiple sizes, weights, running depths, and swimming actions to match your water and target species. Select the combination that fits your conditions:

• 5 cm / 3 g / 0.5–1 m / Twitching, Stop and Go / Dace or Grayling — ultralight setups, small streams, native trout and grayling

• 5 cm / 3 g / 0.5–1 m / Grayling — as above, variant without stated swimming action data

• 5 cm / 5 g / 0.8–1.5 m / Grayling (current product) — mid-depth rivers and lakes, trout and perch, twitching or stop-and-go

• 5 cm / 5 g / 0.8–1.5 m / Dace / Twitching, Stop and Go — same depth range, natural dace color for clearer water

• 5 cm / 5 g / 0.8–1.5 m / Sinking — deeper presentations, letting the lure drop into holding spots

• 6 cm / 4 g / 0.5–1 m / Grayling, Spirlin, Dace, or Olive Bleak — slightly larger profile, shallower reach, perch and chub

• 6 cm / 6 g / 1–1.5 m / Grayling or Olive Bleak / Twitching, Stop and Go — deeper mid-water column, perch and pike in rivers

• 7 cm / 6 g / 1–1.5 m / Dace / Twitching, Stop and Go — bigger profile for larger perch and pike, moderate depth

• 7 cm / 8 g / 1.5–2 m / Grayling, Dace, or Wounded Dace / Twitching, Stop and Go — deep-running option, reservoir pike and large perch

• 7 cm / 8 g / 1.5–2 m / Sinking — deepest presentation, searching the bottom in rivers and lakes
