Whitefish

The Salmo Whitefish family has earned the recognition of many anglers all over the world. Countless trophy fish of various species have been caught with this lure. The slim, classic shape and tail action with its strong side-to-side wobble are the trademarks of this model. Available in Floating and Deep Runner jointed versions and the all-time classic 18cm Floating lure.

Recommended for: Pike, zander and sea bass.

 

A steady retrieve, quite slow, with soft pulls on the rod is the best way to work the Salmo Whitefish in rivers or lakes. You use sideways pulls on the rod tip to get the Whitefish to move in a stop-start fashion, with each pull the lure should move about 0.5 - 0.8m. On a steady retrieve you should slow it down or even allow it stop periodically. The floating versions can be used for trolling either as they are or with an additional weight fixed directly on the main line or on a paternoster link.
