Salmo Fatso

Salmo Fatso: A Must-Have for Big Pike

The Salmo Fatso is a specialized lure designed with a single goal in mind: triggering strikes from trophy pike. Thanks to its distinctively fat and bulky shape, this hybrid lure perfectly mimics the profile of the ideal prey fish for esocids. With every retrieve, it displaces an impressive amount of water, producing a continuous body roll and lateral flashing.

Maximum Effectiveness when Casting

When casting (both spinning and casting setups), the Fatso proves to be an incredibly versatile weapon. It performs at its best with a smooth, linear retrieve as well as when animated with rhythmic jerks. Under the rod’s action, the lure makes sudden, unpredictable darts, perfectly simulating a distressed baitfish.

Perfect Balance for Trolling

In trolling applications, the Salmo Fatso showcases its full hydrodynamic stability. It maintains a consistent swimming action and a sinuous motion even at higher speeds, without ever losing its balance. It is the strategic choice for covering large bodies of water and locating record-sized fish suspending in open water or along deep weed lines.

Armored Structure, Bite-Proof Design

To withstand the razor-sharp teeth of big pike, the Fatso features an ultra-robust body and a through-wire internal construction. Equipped with heavy-duty split rings and reinforced treble hooks, this lure is built to handle the most violent fights and endure catch after catch.
