STING
Trigger more strikes? Well, no other long body minnow bait does it like the Sting. Testing shows that in the suspending models, actually suspend! We are talking about not changing depth AT ALL once it gets to a certain depth. How is it done? It’s a trade secret from the Salmo lure designers, but nothing like it has ever been created! Most suspending baits drift up or down within seconds of stopping, the Sting just does not move.
SALMO CONTROL
Also available in floating models, the Sting is easy to fish and works amazingly well as a twitch bait on the surface or as a high speed trolling lure. This is one versatile and effective Salmo lure.

More About the Sting
Available in three sizes, the small #6 Sting is fantastic on trout and crappie. The special lip allows you to fish in fast current and still have the bait run true.
The #9 Sting is popular with walleye and bass fans. This is a great lure with a great profile. Walleye anglers say it easily out-produces other stick baits 4 to 1. Great color options and great action makes the Sting #9 a top fish producer for Salmo. Rattles are also standard with this model.
The #12 Sting is a much larger stick bait and bass anglers love it. The Sting casts like a bullet and come with rattles. The #12 Sting is great for both casting or trolling and it comes in both floating and suspending models. This lure is capable of running at very high speeds and running true right out of the box.
With all Salmo Stings, we recommend you always use a snap or loop knot when fishing with this bait to give the head of the lure as much freedom to swing and wiggle as possible.
