Salmo Minnow 7cm 1.5–2.0m 8g

Salmo Minnow 7 cm Sinking — Reaches Down to 2 Metres Where Predators Patrol

One of the longest-standing lures in the Salmo range, the 7 cm Minnow in its sinking configuration delivers a lifelike, subtle action that convinces trout, perch, and other predators in deeper water columns.

Tentative Action That Triggers Predators

The Salmo Minnow is built around a restrained, naturalistic wobble that mimics a struggling baitfish rather than an aggressively vibrating attractor. This hesitant movement is precisely what makes it so effective — predators that follow without committing are repeatedly tempted to strike. Short twitches and a stop-and-go retrieve amplify this effect, giving the lure an erratic, wounded appearance that is hard to refuse.

Sinking Design for Deeper Zones at 1.5–2 m

The 8 g sinking body reaches a running depth of 1.5–2 m, putting the lure right in the strike zone in medium-depth rivers, pools, and lake margins. The weight also enables longer, more accurate casts, which is a practical advantage when working the far bank or targeting structure at distance. The lure can be worked upstream or downstream in current, and bottom-hugging retrieves are well within its repertoire.

Choose the Right Variant

The Salmo Minnow Wobbler is available in multiple sizes, weights, running depths, and swimming actions. Select based on your target species, water depth, and presentation style:

• 5 cm / 3 g / 0.5–1 m / Twitching, Stop and Go — compact option for shallow, clear water; trout and perch in streams

• 5 cm / 5 g / 0.8–1.5 m / Sinking — slightly deeper reach in a small profile; ideal for picky trout in pools

• 6 cm / 4 g / 0.5–1 m / Twitching, Stop and Go — versatile mid-size for rivers and stillwaters; trout, perch, chub

• 6 cm / 6 g / 1–1.5 m / Twitching, Stop and Go — stepping up in depth; reliable all-round river lure

• 7 cm / 8 g / 1.5–2 m / Sinking — the current variant; optimised for deeper pools, medium rivers, and longer casts targeting trout and larger perch

• 7 cm / 6 g / 1–1.5 m / Twitching, Stop and Go — same body length at a shallower running depth; suits mid-column presentations

• 7 cm / 8 g / 1.5–2 m / Twitching, Stop and Go — identical size and weight but with an active twitching action rather than a sinking fall
