SALMO Thrill is a sinking lure designed primarily for targeting asp in large rivers. Its slim profile and balanced construction allow extremely long casts while maintaining perfect stability during fast retrieves in strong current.
The lure works just below the surface, perfectly imitating a fleeing bleak. When retrieved quickly, Thrill produces tight vibrations that effectively trigger aggressive strikes from asp hunting in rapids, current seams and along riverbanks.
The compact body and precisely positioned weight ensure stable performance even during high-speed retrieves. The sinking design makes it possible to control the working depth and adjust the presentation to changing river conditions.
SALMO Thrill is highly effective for asp fishing, but it also performs very well when targeting sea trout and larger perch. It is especially productive from late spring through autumn, when predators actively chase baitfish near the surface.
Best results are achieved with a fast, steady retrieve and a high rod tip position. Using thin braided line and a high gear ratio reel helps to fully unlock the lure’s potential in strong current.
