spyder3g Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) I have many different lures, and the Salmo one are pretty nice. Small fat cranks work really well in the shallow Grand (small - medium bass, eye, pike, sheep, rock, silver bass) from July-August to October (after twisters). However, the Jaxon cranks are much better in the same fishing conditions. One bite on Salmo - 3-5 on Jaxon. Unfortunately both Jaxon and Salmo have one big problem, the fin (wing) cracks very fast if you hit something underwater. Rapala (tried many) is not as good as those 2 brands. This review is related to lower Grand only. Different lakes or rivers need different lures. I think everyone knows that Edited April 22, 2009 by spyder3g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuskyGreenHorn Posted May 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 I just got a large order of these (all the largest sizes for pike and muskie) and I have to say, these lures are some the the nicest looking and best designed lures, that I have ever laid my hard earned cash out for. I will post thist fall to report on how they stood up over the season and how many fish the catch me (I plan to fish the hell out of them on Lake of the Woods).

I think everyone knows that Thank you for constructive opinion, which is always very important for us. I think that problem with "lip's" in Salmo lures refer mainly to our big crankbaits like Salmo Whitefish in old models which are still somewhere available to buy. These are models which are not produced since five years. Now Salmo crankbaits have different "lip's" and their fixing in body is different. In that case it is almost impossible to damage "lip" in Salmo lures with "normal" useing now. Of course if somebody cast the lure and the lure hit bridge or any wall directly, it can happen everything than About comparison to Jaxon - the best way to compare is to fish on both brand same period of time at the same place. I believe that I know the winner I know that everything depend on angler and his believe in lure. If somebody like any lure, of course he cast this lure most of time. So possibility to catch a fish is bigger than on another lure which is not in use At the end the trust for favorite lure is bigger and bigger from fish to fish caught on it. Thank to you all for your opinion. Salmo Poland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLofchik Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 I've got two little Salmo cranks I picked up for trout awhile ago. The trout like them, the finish on them is tougher than any Rapala, and I've ground about 1/16" off the lip bumping wood & river rocks and it still works. Definitely a notch above Cordell's & Rapala's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
