A Small Spinnerbait for Salmonids and More

If you enjoy fishing for trout and other predatory salmonids, the Illex Stream Roller is well worth a look. This micro spinnerbait is available in 2 sizes and features a fish-shaped body made from bismuth rather than lead. That body serves a dual purpose: it stabilises the lure's action during the retrieve and delivers excellent casting performance - handy when you need to place a precise cast along the far bank of a small river or stream to draw a big trout out from under cover. Where they share the water, chub and perch will be regular bycatch. The blade is a small Colorado blade, attached to the wire frame via a swivel, which gives the lure an effortlessly light action - it starts working and produces strong vibrations even at very slow retrieve speeds. Because the lure does not twist your line, no additional swivel is needed; you can tie it directly to your main line or clip it straight onto a snap.

Not Just for Streams and Rivers

The Illex Stream Roller was designed primarily for salmonid fishing, but it delivers results on a wider range of species and in other settings too. The 6 g model in particular works well for street fishing. Its compact build means it can be jigged along sheet pilings or even fished vertically, tempting perch, zander and other urban predators. A versatile micro spinnerbait that will find a place in many anglers' boxes.
