Salmo Minnow 6 cm — Natural Action for Shallow-Water Predators

One of Salmo's longest-standing lures, the Minnow Wobbler earns its reputation through an irresistibly lifelike swimming action that fools trout, perch, and other predators in rivers and stillwaters alike.

Convincing Baitfish Imitation

The Salmo Minnow's subtle, quivering action closely mimics a real baitfish under pressure — not an aggressive thrash, but the kind of hesitant, vulnerable movement that triggers reaction strikes. Whether retrieved steadily or worked with short pauses, it reads as natural prey to any predator watching from below.

Versatile Presentation at 0.5–1 m Depth

At 4 g and 6 cm, this floating/diving variant works the productive 0.5–1 m zone — ideal for shallow river runs, stream edges, and lake margins. Twitching and Stop and Go retrieves are where it excels: a sharp twitch darts the lure sideways, the pause lets it rise slightly, and the next twitch triggers the strike. It can also be fished upstream or downstream in current, and dragged along the bottom when fish are holding deep in the column.

Choose the Right Variant

The Salmo Minnow range covers five size/weight combinations and three running depths, so you can match both the local forage and the depth the fish are holding at.

• 5 cm / 3 g / 0.5–1 m — Twitching, Stop and Go: Ultralight rivers and streams; trout, small perch; clear, shallow water

• 5 cm / 3 g / 0.5–1 m — Grayling/Dace colour: Same light setup in natural forage colours

• 5 cm / 5 g / 0.8–1.5 m — Sinking: Mid-column presentation; perch, trout; deeper runs and pools

• 5 cm / 5 g / 0.8–1.5 m — Grayling/Dace colour: Sinking version in matched baitfish tones

• 6 cm / 4 g / 0.5–1 m — Twitching, Stop and Go (current product): Shallow rivers, lake margins; trout, perch; twitching and Stop and Go
