Salmo Slider Sinking Jerkbait 5cm 0.5–1m 8g Bleeding Blue Shad

Salmo Slider Sinking 5cm — The Compact Glider That Started It All

The Salmo Slider Sinking 5cm brings the legendary gliding action of Europe's first true glider bait into a pocket-sized package. At 8g and running 0.5–1m deep, this mini predator magnet delivers the same erratic, side-to-side movement that made the Slider a global phenomenon—now perfectly sized for perch, trout, asp, and smaller pike.

Gliding Action in Any Retrieve Style

The Slider's signature wide, zigzagging glide triggers reaction strikes from hesitant fish. Twitch it aggressively for darting escapes, reel steadily for a wobbling swagger, or pause to let it sink and flutter—every technique works. The sinking design lets you count it down to suspended fish or work structure at precise depths.

Compact Size, Big-Fish Appeal

At 5cm and 8g, this is the go-to size when predators are keyed on small baitfish or when finesse presentations outfish larger profiles. The lifelike Bleeding Blue Shad finish mimics wounded prey with reflective flanks and dark upper tones, while the compact body casts surprisingly well on medium-light spinning gear.
