Perch imitation crankbait for pike – spinning and trolling lure
SALMO Perch is one of the most iconic lures in the brand’s history and a highly realistic imitation of perch – a primary forage fish for pike across European waters. Its natural profile and distinctive action make it a proven predator catcher in both lakes and rivers.
The Perch series has earned a strong reputation among trolling specialists targeting large pike. At the same time, it performs exceptionally well in traditional spinning, where its stable and pronounced swimming action triggers strikes even at slower retrieve speeds.
Each version offers a different diving range, allowing precise depth control depending on fishing conditions – from shallow weed beds and reed margins to deep drop-offs and reservoirs.
The 8 cm models are versatile options for medium-sized waters and active casting techniques. The larger 12 cm versions present a more substantial silhouette, particularly effective when trolling or selectively targeting bigger pike.
A moderate retrieve speed with occasional accelerations and short twitches is recommended. In trolling applications, models such as PH12F and...
