Anyone use the Salmo Chubby Darters with any success? I am thinking about a few but at $7 a pop I don't want to buy junk.
-
i have.. i love them.. caught some eyes on them... buy a few and see what happens... the action on them is awesome!
-
i personally havent tried them, but of all the reports i have from other members.....AWESOME!!!!...Grump
-
Jumbo perch like them too. Unfortunatelly, so did a couple of pike. Say goodbye.
-
Yep, I bought 2 last year, with some walleye success.
They have some new glow colors this year.
-
I tried them in my bathtub and the action is pretty good. Bought the perch, gold and silver ones. Can't wait to try them out.
-
I would like to give them atry myself. Can someone tell me what size and color I should try?
Morrocco Mole! :tipup:
-
Which ones do your local stores have?
Buy them all.

Which do you prefer, Hali spoons or Chubbies for perch, eye's?

I need someone to show me how to use these lures effectively, I haven't had a walleye hit one yet! But there are a ton of guys that swear by them, so I think its my presentation is crap.

Halis for perch, chubbies for 'eyes. And yes, the pike like them too.
See the Silver Lake thread.

They are a real good bait for eyes.

I really like the salmo chubby darters as do the dang pike when I'm after walleyes . ;) It get's pricey at 13 bucks a pop here and pike biting you off . Not only that but they are a bit difficult to find in my neck of the woods so if I see them I buy them . Just happened to see a glow model the other day in a tackle shop but now she calls my tackle box home . ;) The chubby darter works well in open water and man does she sail through the air a long distance to cover more water in a single cast, especially deep water . ;)

Slipbob, have you gotten any of the luminous grey dace? I found a couple this summer and they look like winners also.

holy crap, the SUPER RARE grey dace. Man that is THE ticket!
-
Wow. The coveted LGD. Those I have not seen. I don't even recall them on Salmo's website ??? Where did you get those Bean?
I picked them up from an outfitter when I went to canada this past summer. But, I've found them online and that's where that picture came from. Click here (http://www.clickondeals.com/itmidx1.htm) to see and go down to about the 8th product. Don't know if US residents can order from there.
I contacted Salmo USA and they aren't available here in the US. They did tell me there is a new color for this year that they will receive in about a week. It's a YMD which is Yellow Metallic Dace.
-
Slipbob, I e-mailed that company and they said they would ship to the U.S. I don't know what the total cost would be to get a few, but e-mail them and they should be able to tell you.

How do you guys fish chubby darters? Do you fish with a lift falls stop type of jigging action? What type of action do they exhibit in the water on the lift and drop, and do they contain rattles? Would the #6's be too large for jumbo perch? I bet pike like them to.
They look like great lures, I will have to see if I can find some this winter. :)
