Museum Archive: Vintage Salmo Perch 8 Floating minnow, 2/5oz Shad fishing lure #24345

Weighing in at 2/5oz (12g), this Polish-made crankbait features a detailed Shad color scheme that replicates the natural scale patterns of a common forage fish. The 3 1/4" (8cm) body is paired with a durable, metal-reinforced diving lip, allowing the lure to reach depths between 1.5ft (0.5m) and 6.5ft (2.0m). This specific Salmo Perch 8 Floating minnow, listed under product code 24345, remains in excellent 5/5 condition, maintaining its crisp finish and original hardware. The visual design includes a prominent yellow eye and a subtly shaded back that transitions into a silver-scaled flank. Two dark-finished treble hooks are secured by sturdy split rings to the belly and tail, making it a reliable choice for both casting and trolling applications. Its construction reflects the craftsmanship that has made these Polish lures a staple in European pike and perch angling.
