Lure Information

Plug performance guide: Salmo Fatso Floating

Body length 15cm
Weight 3oz+
Rattle? No
Material Solid plastic
Working depth Cast to 5ft, trolled to 8ft
A long-casting, buoyant jerkbait, best fished with fast twitches, or cranked very fast. I rarely troll it but it caught me a nice mid-double pike in Holland in 2003 trolled over a weedy plateau on a big sand pit. It is a very good pike catcher, and the usual Salmo build quality means it is pretty indestructible, although the finish will eventually begin to bear pike-induced battle scars like this one.
