Solvkroken Kot Minnow are slim sinking wobblers designed for trout, perch and other freshwater predators. The series was created for long casting, stable swimming action and an aggressive response to twitching techniques.
Kot Minnow performs very well both in rivers and lakes. Thanks to the balanced construction, the lure tracks steadily during straight retrieves, while its full potential appears during short rod jerks and stop&go presentation.
Kot Minnow reacts instantly to rod movements and makes sharp side flashes that imitate a panicked or injured baitfish. During pauses, the lure sinks naturally, often triggering strikes immediately after the retrieve stops.
The model performs exceptionally well with twitching techniques, but it is equally effective during slower straight retrieves. Its stable swimming action also allows comfortable fishing in river current.
The Kot Minnow series was developed mainly for trout and perch fishing, but it also works very well for chub, ide and smaller pike. Multiple size options make it easy to match the lure to different fishing conditions and fish activity levels.
The 0.4–0.8 m running depth makes the lure ideal for covering shallow flats, rocky banks, river runs and nearshore structure.
The built-in weight transfer system improves casting distance and accuracy, which is especially useful when fishing larger rivers or casting into the wind. Once in the water, the lure quickly stabilizes and keeps a clean tracking action.
Kot Minnow is equipped with strong BKK treble hooks and available in colours inspired by natural baitfish as well as more aggressive trigger patterns.
Solvkroken is one of Norway’s most recognised fishing tackle brands. Since 1930, the company has been producing pilkers, spoons and fishing lures designed for demanding Scandinavian waters. Solvkroken products are trusted by anglers targeting cod, coalfish, halibut and other predatory species in both coastal and offshore environments.
The Solvkroken range includes classic sea pilkers, vertical jigging lures, salmon and trout spoons, as well as modern spinning lures. Many of these models have been used successfully for decades and remain a popular choice among anglers travelling to Norway.
Solvkroken is especially well known for its sea fishing pilkers. Series such as Svenskepilk, Stingsilda, Jensen Pilk, Solvpilk, Calamar and Storm are designed for fishing in deep water and strong tidal currents. Their proven shapes help the lure reach the desired depth quickly while maintaining a stable action during vertical jigging.
Anglers fishing the Norwegian fjords value these lures for their durability, saltwater resistance and reliable performance on the drop. Depending on the model, they can be used for traditional vertical jigging, active lift-and-drop presentations or more technical sea fishing methods.
Another important part of the Solvkroken range is its legendary spoon selection. Models such as Aura Lillauren, Morild Trout, Spesial Classic, Salamander Trout, Vikingsild and Buch Salmon have earned a strong reputation among salmon and trout anglers across Scandinavia.
Their carefully developed shapes and attractive action make them effective in rivers, lakes and coastal waters. These spoons are widely used when targeting salmon, sea trout, brown trout and other predatory fish species.
At Fishing-Mart you will find a wide selection of original Solvkroken products, including sea pilkers, spoons, jigs, soft baits and modern spinning lures. The range combines long-established classics with new designs developed for contemporary fishing techniques.
Whether you are preparing for a Norwegian sea fishing trip or looking for proven lures for salmon and trout fishing, Solvkroken remains one of the most respected Scandinavian fishing tackle brands.
