About This Salmon Lure
This salmon lure was designed to replicate the North Sea sprat’s ‘live’ scale pattern which is a target species for Atlantic salmon while feeding at sea. The effectiveness of the copper side was learned by Jock Monteith via tactical advice from his late mentor Willie ’the ghillie’ Laird on the River Tay during the 70’s. This 100mm x 24mm lure has been purposely designed to weigh in at 27g to create ‘optimal' stream lure action (even when fished slowly) and to also be fishable on both medium & large sized salmon rivers. The 1 x rear split ring feature positions the hook close to the target to ensure a better 'hook up' ratio. This lure should be fished with an initial 'tightish' clutch setting (to set the hook properly) then loosen off the reel clutch to play the fish.
Lure Longevity & Maintenance
As with any painted lure that's likely to come into frequent contact with riverbed stones & gravel it is recommended that an extra coat of varnish is applied to the painted side (and on an annual basis) to maximise durability and to prolong the perfect aesthetics of the lure.
