BUTCHER - S - HRD - 5cm

One of the first SALMO lures, now well-proven in innumerable fisheries for many species at all latitudes, the calm, wobbling action of the BUTCHER has lured plenty of trophy fish already! Before you decide to put this lure on, you had better adjust the drag on your reel!

The BUTCHER is available in one size and in floating, sinking and Super Deep Runner versions.

Recommended for:
Trout, pike, perch, bass.

Typical fishery, season and method of use:
Large trout river; late spring; casting across the flow.

How to fish:
The floating version is best cast downstream then retrieved slowly and steadily against the flow; remember to pause the lure for a few seconds near fish-holding features to trigger strikes. The sinking version can also be fished upstream, just retrieve the lure at mid-depth as slowly as possible with a few short, soft twitches; the SDR is also suitable for upstream and downstream retrieves. When fishing in lakes or slow-flowing rivers with the SDR version you should sweep the rod tip around to dive the lure down to your required depth then retrieve it quite quickly and erratically.
