Salmo Perch lure grey silver HGS shallow runner 12cm 36g

The Salmo Perch has become a standard for many walleye and pike anglers as a great fish producer. The thin body shape of the Perch simulates many of the baitfish found in rivers and lakes of North America. Available in a wide variety of actions, the Perch family can catch almost any fish in fresh and salt water.

Ideal for casting with their aerodynamic body style and solid bait design, but trollers often find this bait has no equal for performance. The Perch in a size 12 in the Real Roach pattern is a dead ringer for a saltwater mullet and history has shown us that fish can’t tell the difference. Bass anglers find the flat body profile is a perfect knock-off of a shad.

Sure the Salmo folks messed up with the name, because the Salmo Perch is much more than a perch look-alike lure. The wide variety of lure types available with the Salmo Perch name deserves space in your tackle box; let’s walk you through the options:

Perch 8F – The ultimate in shallow water cranks. Great body profile, casts a country mile and you can troll or cast the Perch 8F with equal success. Many anglers love to cast and work these baits in early season right to shore and do extremely well on bass and walleye.

Perch 8 DR – This is a very versatile lure with many because it can be fished shallow if you fish it slow, or down to 10 feet on a cast and all the way down to 16 feet while trolling. It is nearly impossible to make your Salmo Perch 8 DR run out of tune, no matter how fast you troll. Popular with walleye fans in summer, the Salmo Perch 8 DR is a fish catching machine for sure.

Perch 8 SDR – Lets get down? Salmo Perch 8SDR (Super Deep Runner) swill really walk the bottom nicely if that is your goal. Tuned and hand tested right out of the box, the Salmo Perch 8SDR is by far the best performing crankbait in its class.

Perch 12 F – You want to see action that will really shake your rod tip, well the Salmo Perch 12 F is the answer. This lure can cast a country mile and the larger profile has proven to be deadly on big pike, walleye, bass and many saltwater species. The super tough body design can take anything those monster fish dish out.

Perch 12S – Designed for speed, and this is what the 12S series can handle with ease. The long metal lip on the Salmo Perch 12S can really make your day. Very popular with trollers who love to cover water fast, but never want their baits to get out of tune. This is a bait designed to perform at nearly any speed and catch fish.

Always use a snap or loop knot when fishing with this Salmo Lure.
