Hundreds of anglers from countries all over the world can’t all be wrong: the Salmo Bullhead is the best imitation of the bullhead and madtom catfish available on the market. The secret of the Bullhead is its ideal blend of qualities ? its shape, colour and unique action in the water. Designed with trout streams in mind it turned out to be just as effective in large rivers and even in lakes and reservoirs.
Recommended for: Zander, perch, chub and trout.
In fast-flowing small streams you can fish the Bullhead both upstream and downstream, the most effective method is casting upstream then retrieving the lure in an arc across the flow back to your feet. In water with lots of snags the SDR version is indispensable for its unique ability to bounce off and over obstacles. In larger rivers it is best to cast the Bullhead upstream then retrieve it as slowly as possible with numerous pauses mixed with gentle twitches. For slow trolling the SDR is the best choice, keeping the lure 30 metres behind the boat.
