Salmo Minnow 6cm 1–1.5m 6g Grayling

Salmo Minnow — Lifelike Action in the Grayling Colourway

The Salmo Minnow is one of the longest-standing lures in the Salmo range, and this 6 cm, 6 g floating/running version in Grayling colour brings that proven pedigree to rivers and streams where predators key in on small baitfish.

Subtle Action That Triggers Reluctant Predators

At 6 cm and 6 g, this Minnow works the 1–1.5 m depth zone with a delicate, lifelike wobble that convinces trout, perch, and chub it is a fleeing prey fish. The subdued Grayling finish adds a natural translucency that holds up well in clear, low-pressure conditions where flashier colours can fall short.

Versatile Retrieve Styles for Moving and Still Water

The lure is optimised for twitching and stop-and-go retrieves, both of which exploit its hesitant action to mimic an injured baitfish — one of the most reliable triggers in predator fishing. It can be cast upstream or downstream in rivers, retrieved steadily along current seams, or worked with short rod-tip flicks in stillwaters. The floating body also allows a brief pause to let the lure hang in the strike zone before resuming the retrieve.

Choose the Right Variant

The Salmo Minnow family spans four sizes and several running depths, covering everything from surface-hugging stream work to deeper river pools.

• 5 cm / 3 g / 0.5–1 m / Twitching, Stop and Go — ultralight river and stream fishing; trout and perch in shallow runs (Dace, Grayling colours available)

• 5 cm / 5 g / 0.8–1.5 m / Sinking — deeper penetration in faster currents with a sinking action

• 6 cm / 4 g / 0.5–1 m / Twitching, Stop and Go — shallower floating version; ideal for calm pools and slow stretches (Grayling, Spirlin, Dace, Olive Bleak)

• 6 cm / 6 g / 1–1.5 m / Twitching, Stop and Go — Grayling — the current variant; medium-depth rivers and streams, clear-water conditions, trout and perch (also available in Dace, Olive Bleak)

• 7 cm / 6 g / 1–1.5 m / Twitching, Stop and Go — larger profile at the same depth; attractive to bigger trout and pike (Grayling, Dace colours available)

• 7 cm / 8 g / 1.5–2 m / Twitching, Stop and Go or Sinking — deepest-running option; heavier currents, deeper pools, pike and large perch (Grayling, Dace, Wounded Dace colours available)
