Salmo Lil’ Bugs 3cm – Crankbaits and jerkbaits

• Inside the body of these little beauties are a special casting system called the Infinity Cast System (SICS). This special construction lets you cast incredible distances and therefore reach the furthest reaches of the water. Also fitted with incredibly sharp and strong number 10 treble hooks that have been designed in Japan.
• These are a surface wobbler – so called “tracer”. As you can derive from the name, it tempts the fish by disturbing the water surface and creating a „trace” or wave. This allows the predator to register the lure even when the water is a less than clear.
• Especially recommended for catching chub, ide and asp, but it can also be effective on other species that feed close to the water surface (perch, trout).
• There are few basic techniques of fishing with this lure. First one is to move with the river current and fish all the potential spots by “tracing” the lure either against or across the current. First casts should be made literally a foot away from the riverside. Gradually you should make further casts and slowly “tracing” the lure on the surface, place it near all the potential hiding spots of our prey. Retrieve them steadily and slowly while keeping our rod tip high. Try to keep the lure on the surface so that you can see the characteristic “V shape” wave from the distance. If the current is strong enough to keep the lure working without the retrieve, it is good to hold it steady in the interesting spot. Such provocation is often irresistible for the fish. The lure should not lose any of its action and constantly vibrate and create the characteristic “trace” on the water surface. The fish that are feeding can be close to the bank and very shallow, sometimes in the water even less than 0.5 m deep. If there is a slightly deeper hole nearby, large chub, ide and even asp can prowl in such shallows.
• In all the techniques mentioned above it is crucial to control your line and prevent it from touching the water to avoid spooking the fish. The strikes are usually vicious and explosive, but like with all other surface lures, you should set the hook only after feeling the weight of the fish on your rod.
