Versatile crankbait for predator fishing
Salmo Butcher is a classic crankbait lure designed for anglers targeting trout, pike, perch and bass in rivers and lakes. Its calm, wobbling action works effectively in both flowing and still waters, making it a reliable choice for various fishing conditions.
Floating and sinking versions
The Salmo Butcher is available in floating, sinking and Super Deep Runner versions. Each variant allows precise depth control, making the lure suitable for shallow runs, mid-water columns and deeper areas.
How to fish the Salmo Butcher
The floating version performs best when cast downstream and retrieved steadily against the current, with short pauses near structures. The sinking model is ideal for slow retrieves at mid-depth, enhanced with gentle rod twitches. The Super Deep Runner version excels in deeper water when retrieved dynamically.
When and where to use
Salmo Butcher is especially effective in larger rivers during late spring, but also performs well in lakes and slow-flowing waters. Its proven action has delivered consistent results across many fisheries worldwide.

From my decent collection of Rapala, Nils-Master lures the two salmo butchers 5cm especialy the GT color i sadly lost are high among the top catchers. Bought mine in Germany and searched for ages for a place to buy replacement. Definite value for money, they catch fish and after a year decor is like new. Biggest one yet was 85cm pike on 5GT sinking, took it second time after unhooking first time.
