Salmo Slider 12cm 1.5–3m 70g Copper Roach

Salmo Slider 12cm – The Big-Bait Glider for Deep-Water Pike and Muskie

The Salmo Slider 12cm Sinking in Copper Roach is the largest model in the legendary Slider family, designed to reach depths of 1.5–3m and trigger aggressive strikes from trophy-sized predators. Its hypnotic side-to-side gliding action works equally well with slow, methodical retrieves or aggressive twitches, making it the go-to choice when targeting big pike, muskie, and zander in deeper water or during cooler months.

Iconic Gliding Action That Draws Big Fish

The Slider's signature side-to-side motion mimics a wounded or disoriented baitfish, creating an irresistible target for both lethargic and active predators. The 12cm sinking version dives to 3m on the cast and holds at 1.5m when trolling, putting your lure directly in the strike zone where larger fish hunt. Work it slowly to coax reluctant followers, or snap it with quick twitches to provoke reaction strikes.

Built to Handle Trophy Fish

Constructed from High-Impact Plastic (HIP) with ultrasonic Body Welding (UBW), the Slider 12cm is engineered for durability under extreme conditions. Premium Mustad KVD 2/0 hooks and Rasco split rings (made in the USA) ensure solid hooksets and reliable performance, even when battling hard-fighting fish. Each lure is individually hand-tuned and tank-tested before it leaves the factory, guaranteeing consistent action straight out of the box.

Choose the Right Variant

The Salmo Slider is available in four sizes and two buoyancies to match depth, retrieve speed, and target species:

• 5cm Sinking (8g, 0.5–1m) – Ideal for perch, trout, and smaller pike in shallow water or clear conditions; quick, darting retrieves

• 7cm Sinking (21g, 0.5–1m) – Versatile choice for pike and zander in shallow to mid-depth; works well in both rivers and lakes

• 10cm Sinking (46g, 1–3m) – Targets larger pike and zander in deeper zones; perfect for autumn and winter fishing when fish hold deeper

• 12cm Sinking (70g, 1.5–3m) – The trophy hunter's tool for big pike, muskie, and catfish; excels in deep water, trolling, or targeting suspended fish over structure

All models are available in Copper Roach, a natural pattern that mimics roach and other cyprinids, as well as Silver Halo for high-visibility conditions.
