is famous for its high-quality baits; their technical characteristics and performance qualities surpass competitors in numerous respects. All Salmo lures come from Poland, where the company began its development in collaboration with professional spinning fishermen. During the existence of the company, it acquired many original models, greatly expanded its range and began to use the most modern technologies for manufacturing baits. Today Salmo wobblers are known and have earned respect all over the world.
Main characteristics of Salmo wobblers
Content
Salmo wobblers are known and deserve respect among spinning players. Despite the Polish origin of the company, all products are manufactured at a factory in China. The transfer of production to China did not damage the quality of the products, so the fears of some fishermen are not justified. The assortment today includes both budget options and expensive wobblers. A spinner with a different budget will find a suitable option for himself.
Initially, wobblers were made of wood, but this is a difficult material to process, and its buoyancy is not always appropriate. In the future, production has completely switched to using plastic. Products are manufactured using the technology of foaming material under high pressure. Almost all manufacturing steps have become completely automatic: from pouring the body to painting, the machines independently make the frame and attach the blades. Adjustment and final finishing are carried out manually, ensuring the absence of defects and high accuracy of the design.
Both budget options and expensive wobblers are presented in the assortment today
Main parameters of the manufacturer's lures:
- abundance of colored varieties of baits. It is immediately noticeable that all the colors are very natural and thoughtful; the predator is caught by almost all options;
- All models of wobblers have only good reviews due to the high quality of the products. It does not wear off and retains its original properties for many seasons;
- anglers will not have to change tees, the baits are equipped with better hooks;
- affordable price, although some models fall outside the economy category.
Advantage over competitors
Many years of experience and our own patented developments have allowed the company to take a leading position in the fishing goods market. No advertising gimmicks with a “universal” bait capable of harpooning a bowhead whale, only a competent selection of sizes, colors and a wide variety of products presented . You can add to the advantages:
- Quality control at all stages, manual assembly of individual elements, proven technologies and high-strength steel fittings.
- A variety of standard solutions, a rainbow palette of colors, innovation and constant improvement. Among the classic “fish”, the option in the form of an exact copy of the waterfowl Lil Bug looks advantageous.
- The reduced cost in comparison with the Japanese simply obliges you to buy two Western baits for the price of one Eastern one, which is scary to throw again. Budgeting does not affect the strength of materials.
The model range allows you to choose a bait for a familiar body of water , your individual style and wiring technique. Everyone will be within their means and tough. It will interest both beginners and professionals. The presented variants of wobblers are characterized by a unique originality, so it will be easier to consider the series separately, focusing on those that have especially proven themselves among experienced fishermen.
Advantages and features of these wobblers

- All varieties are distinguished by a high level of bait performance. Some varieties are somewhat inferior to expensive Japanese wobblers, but occupy one of the leading positions in their price niche.
Peculiarities
Salmo is a Polish company specializing in the production of fishing tackle and lures. The main idea of its creators was to develop inexpensive but functional products that, in terms of their performance characteristics, would not be inferior to famous expensive brands.
Salmo wobblers are the best in their price range and successfully compete with the middle and premium segments of the market. When making baits, the manufacturer tries to use inexpensive but proven materials. As a result, Salmo products have the following advantages:
- universalism;
- stable game;
- reliability and strength;
- good balancing.
Lures are equipped with proven and high-quality fittings. The hooks are sharp and hold their edge for a long time. The strength of the winding rings is beyond doubt.
Some colors are a signature feature of Salmo wobblers
Wobblers from Salmo are available in different colors. Many have already been tested in various reservoirs and have shown their effectiveness everywhere. The top of the bait is coated with a colorless varnish that protects it from the teeth of a predator. Thanks to this, it retains its presentation for a long time, remaining as attractive as possible to fish.
Model range of Salmo wobblers
There are a number of series of wobblers aimed at a specific fishing method and specific prey. Let's look at the main families to better understand the features of using baits.
All varieties are distinguished by a high level of performance
Perch
Wobbler Salmo Perch (from English - perch) is adapted to imitate a fish common in all reservoirs - perch. Large predators love to feast on them, and even large individuals of perches are prone to cannibalism, so they also get hooked. The Salmo Perch wobbler is especially loved by zander, pike and perch.

Perch models become an effective tool for catching predators that are in ambush among reed thickets. When moving this type of bait evenly, it begins to wobble slightly. It seems to the predator that there is easy prey in front of him; even a well-fed pike will not refuse such a dish.
Wobbler Salmo Perch 8 is the smallest bait in its series, the “eight” has a weight of 12-14 g, and is available in sinking and floating versions. Additionally, there are 12 and 14 cm models; large baits specialize in catching large predators. The Perch 8 modification is good for catching medium and large-sized specimens. Larger options require the use of strong rods, but often lead to the capture of trophy specimens.
Main varieties of the family:
- The Salmo Perch wobbler for trolling is designated by the SDR index - super deep-water models. These trolling lures are no less effective when fishing on the “lane”;
- shallow-water options catch well in combination with twitching wobbler wiring;
- floating types in combination with uniform and jerking wiring are most effective.

Hornet
The Salmo Hornet wobbler (translated as hornet) is an incredibly popular model that performs well in all fishing situations. The Hornet series is the best-selling bait, constantly occupying the leading place in sales in the world. Moreover, the Salmo Hornet wobbler is capable of provoking the most well-fed and indifferent predators to bite, and also often becomes a tool for catching peaceful fish species.
With attachments from this series, a large catch is guaranteed even for novice fishermen. Many efforts by competing companies to recreate an equally catchy bait ended in vain. An important condition for popularity is low cost.
Wobbler "Salmo Hornet" is a crankbait, there are floating deep-sea, sinking models with 3 types of blades. Models currently available in sizes:
- 25 mm;
- 35 mm;
- 40 mm;

- the largest representative - 90 mm - performs well when catching trophy pike and catfish.
The Hornet series works both in calm water and on fast rivers.
Minnow
The Salmo Minnow wobbler is a classic representative of minnow baits. A special form of bait is always in good “demand” among fish; a representative of the series is in the fishing kit of any spinning angler. one of the first to start producing models of this line - since 1991. Thanks to the oblong shape of the body with a protruding body, the bait successfully imitates fish fry. Has a slow play, creating the feeling that the fish is weak, sick or injured.

The wobbler “Salmo Minnow” is supported by underwater photography by ichthyologists, during which it was noticed that the pike ignored healthy fish, but when placing this bait a decisive attack followed.
It works best in combination with twitching wiring, but the smooth technique is also effective. Potential catch: ide, asp, pike perch, pike.

It is only important to correctly determine the size of the bait taking into account the season:
- sizes 5-6 cm are effective in spring;
- In autumn, fish go better on the 90 mm model.
The series also includes trolling models; they are effective regardless of the speed of the vessel. The model range includes 14 colored varieties of baits, including realistic imitations of trout, dace and perch fry.
Pike
The name translates as "pike". Salmo Pike wobblers imitate pike, and many anglers know about their tendency to cannibalism. This type of fish is prone to eating its own kind. This knowledge has long been implemented in the “Salmo” Pike wobblers; over the years, many trophy specimens have been caught with this bait. The Salmo Pike model resembles a pike fry, the workmanship is at a high level.
Many reservoirs are connected to large rivers only during floods; fish that enter the reservoir remain here until next year. In such bets, the pike almost completely exterminates the remaining underwater inhabitants, then opens the hunting season for other representatives of its species. In such reservoirs the Pike bait is incredibly effective.
Used for fishing in shallow areas close to the shore. There are 5 colors of wobblers in total. On the shelves you can find 2 types of designs: solid and composite, usually it is better to catch fish with composites. The range includes 4 sizes: 9, 11, 13 and 16 cm.

Tiny
Wobbler Salmo Tiny is a representative of microwobblers used together with ultralight tackle. The bait successfully imitates insects: ladybug, May beetle. During the flight of these insects, such bait is extremely catchy. When catching predators that feed on insects, the Tiny model is indispensable. The bait is good for catching: ide, small asp, trout, rudd, chub, less often perch is caught on the hook.
Salmo Floating wobblers (floating) are effective against fish that feed on food that has fallen into the water.
Mainly used when fishing in the current, the angler only needs to float the bait to a promising place. Playing in one place is quite effective; it is enough to tighten the line a little and fuse it. Soon the predator will take the bait. We recommend casting to areas where vegetation hangs over the water; here the predator waits for fallen insects.
It is 3 cm long, the floating type weighs 2 g, the recessed type weighs 2.5 g.

Thrill
The Salmo Thrill wobbler is specially designed for hunting asp, although the bait also works well against other predators. The most appropriate place to use bait is in areas where predatory fish feed on small silver-colored fish with a thin body. The “Trill” model combines two advantages at the same time: due to its large weight, it ensures long-range gear and maintains positive buoyancy, which is important when fishing for asp and chub.

The bait is used in one of two ways:
- uniform wiring is the simplest and most catchy method;
- with twitching of the rod tip, while the speed of movement slows down a little. The jerking method stimulates the predator to attack the bait.

Slider
The Salmo Slider wobbler is a good imitation of a fish with ideal geometry, highly detailed appearance and expressive play. It is the second best selling bait from the manufacturer. Designed for power fishing of large fish. The design lacks blades, but has a unique play of its own. Best used in combination with jerking.
The wobbler provides sharp and greedy bites, so choosing extra fishing line is important to do quickly. Ideally, the glider should swim in the water in different directions, imitating the behavior of a dying fish. In low temperature conditions, it is advisable to use slow retrieving with a delay of up to 3 seconds; the sinking option is now more effective. In the warm season, it is better to do the wiring faster, including sharp jerks. The bait is recommended when hunting for bass, pike, catfish and pike perch.

"Working Hornet" Hornet
Crank-variety Hornet wobblers, in demand for two decades, are a real hit among lures. The imitation of a pot-bellied fry with a short body, flat sides and an appetizing belly has gained success not only among fishermen, but also among prey. The bait is characterized by active play with frequent oscillations and a low range of motion. Experienced athletes recommend diluting the uniform wiring with a short break. Chub and asp, perch, trout and ide are ready to be tempted by the crank.
The miniature size of the F-03 does not prevent the three-centimeter baby from delighting with constant bites. The rule “the larger the wobbler, the juicier the fish” does not apply to it. This is a stable supplier of perch, a guarantor of catch and good mood.
Caught it on the first trip! Burshik got caught, be healthy! It’s already twisted, but it’s frayed my nerves! But Salmochka did not disappoint!

F-06.5 is distinguished not only by its “half” marking, but also by the presence of the proprietary Infinity Cast System sound. The rhythmic clicks of the noise chamber spread in waves underwater, attracting active predators from afar. The rattlin type is also unusual - a vertical diving bait allows, due to negative buoyancy, to “flash” a reservoir throughout its entire depth.

Option F-09 is a joint development of Salmo specialists and Hungarian experts. The weighty (35 g) and solid (9 cm) bait can sink to a depth of up to five meters . The plastic of the wide and durable blade is not afraid of snags and serves as a bumper in the event of a collision. Lively game and contrasting colors encourage the most inveterate beginners to set records in the hunt for trophy specimens - even catfish do not disdain the appetizing “overgrown fry”.
Tips and tricks for choosing
The selection of the best Salmo wobblers directly depends on a number of factors, mainly the conditions in the reservoir and the type of expected production.
How to choose the best option:
- surface wobblers catch asp and chub well; if this is the expected prey, it is better to use the “Tini” and “Trill” models;
- when hunting for pike, it is better to use medium or large wobblers floating in the bottom layers of water: “Pike”, “Perch”;
- For perch and pike perch, the same equipment can be used as for pike, but of a smaller size;
- If you need to purchase a universal wobbler, you should give preference to the popular Hornet series or the classic Minnow class.
Perch, familiar from childhood
The flow of laudatory reviews for Salmo Perch 8 wobblers began at the end of the last millennium, but even now has not weakened. The bait has lived in more than one box of wobblers, displacing its fellows that had failed. A kind of “people’s” choice, the modern model has undergone a number of changes. Modernization has definitely benefited her. Floating, shallow (SR) and deep-sea (DR), as well as bottom (Super Deep Runner) versions appeared.
Polycarbonate blade and durable fittings extend service life. The material used to make the carcass is balsa. The colors justify the literal translation of the name ; “perch” with characteristic black stripes and greenish scales is recognizable from afar. A stock of several options (for example, bright acid color and silver roach) will allow you to fish both in the midday sun and in cloudy weather.
The Salmo Perch wobbler is unpretentious in terms of wiring and is good at a smooth, even pattern with rare pauses. It goes deep with short pulls, quickly emerges even with a steel leash and makes a smooth turn when paused. In nine cases out of ten, a pike will fall into the sight of the bait, but the perch is not averse to playing with its nimble double.
It took me a long time to select one for my son to use for trolling, both of them were picky, but this perch immediately attracted his attention. I bought it and tried it the next day; there was no time to look at the shore. Six pike from a kilo to two are already not bad, but the last one pulled 4 kg!
Anton, forum “A fisherman is forever”
The 12 °F shock version is a full-fledged fry twelve centimeters in height. The impressive weight with the stated five meters of depth will leave behind the “substandard” middle peasant to get serious about breaking their own records. The tiger coloration of acidic and moderate tones is suitable for both muddy, swampy lakes and deep rivers with a noticeable current. The delicate play of the bait with a smoothly wagging tail will not scare off even a capricious and cautious pike perch.
The older brother 14 °F adds two centimeters in size and is distinguished by an aggressive and amplitude swing. Exclusively catfish option for trawling channel dumps and deep holes. It will interest the sleepiest couch potato, but it will also require an equally powerful spinning rod in your arsenal. This option is definitely not for a beginner.

Boris: “I accidentally fell for the promotion and decided to buy a few for myself. For 300 rubles I didn’t dare expect anything special, but the quality pleasantly surprised me. The fish take bait well in any conditions.”
Vladimir: “I already forgot the last time I bought high-quality bait at a reasonable price, and this is where Salmo’s company surprised me. It’s very difficult to find such high-quality wobblers at a reasonable price.”

Customer Reviews
I didn’t know what to give my husband for the New Year, but when I remembered that he loves to fish, I decided to buy a fishing rod. Since I don’t understand fishing, I decided to go shopping and ask the sellers. They recommended different things, but Salmo’s fishing rod was right for the price. I took it at my own risk, since I couldn’t find anything on the Internet. But my husband liked it. Grade:
Svetlana Karpova.
Disgusting company! Never buy anything from them. I bought a Salmo Ice Sudak fishing rod, and it fell apart right in my hands during the first fishing trip! I called the store and they said it was defective and that they would replace it under warranty. I arrived at the appointed time, but for some reason the store was closed. I don’t know, maybe they have good products, and my case is an exception, but they left a worse impression of themselves. Grade:
Alexander Astakhov.
In principle, their products are normal, I have two fishing rods, I bought them for myself and my son two years ago. It sticks a little and sometimes you can hear some clicking, but this seems to be typical for inexpensive fishing rods. They survived two fishing seasons, let's see if they survive the third. Grade:
Fedor Pavlovich.
I bought my father a Salmo Ice Telerod Plus for five hundred for the New Year. I don’t know much about the topic, but I looked at the reviews and they seem to be ok. After fishing, my father said that for that kind of money he could have bought something better, but overall he was happy with the trip. Grade:
Pashok.
Well, what can I say - a typical case, the manufacturer skimps on everything, even down to the material for the handle, so it often slips out of my hands. I solved the problem by using rubber gloves, but my hands sweat in them and I have to stuff them with toilet paper. It’s certainly worth its four hundred and a half rubles, but if you have the opportunity to buy a decent fishing rod, then buy it. Don't waste your money, you only have one life. Grade:
Semyon Neidelman.
Why Salmo?
To say that Salmo fishing rods are the best would be an outright lie, which only the most distant people from life would fall for. There are no good or bad companies. It’s just that each of them produces goods for different segments of the population. Is it possible to compare a company that makes fishing rods for the rich and a company that makes them for the middle class and say that one is better than the other? Of course not.
Salmo is a company focused on the majority. Anyone who has the opportunity to buy an expensive fishing rod will, of course, buy, for example, a fishing rod from Shimano for 40 thousand rubles. An ordinary person for whom a thousand rubles is a lot of money will look for a more affordable manufacturer, and the Salmo company, which produces high-quality inexpensive fishing rods, will come in handy here.
