Salmo Skinner 12 | Floating twitchbait

There are very few lures that can be used as a surface lure, jerkbait or twitchbait: the is one such lure, allowing all three techniques to be used interchangeably and for casting you really should mix them for the best results. The Skinner has a good action when retrieved at the slowest speeds, but it really shows its class when it is twitched. It is very easy to twitch just retrieve at a steady speed with a short jerk now and then; longer and stronger strokes with the rod will have the Skinner skipping left and right – exactly what large predators like to see, and they often react with uncontrolled aggression. When trolling with the Skinner its effectiveness is improved if you actively jerk the lure from time to time.
