Funny thing... A few years ago work colleague who was a match angler gave me a savage duck for my birthday, as a joke. It actually cought a 10lb pike on the second cast! And what a beautiful strike that was!😂
Number 2 is the Salmo Fatso. Great lure but is not a slider, is a strange beast that one, behaves much more as a crank bait, best in straight retrieve and sinking version. If you have a floating one, just add some lead stikers of lead wire.( try to make it a very slow sinking) Also, i noticed a pattern 3 out of 4 are natural dull patterns, and then you mentioned canals (mostly colored waters i would guess) so maybe try the same lures in a bright pattern.
its the same with bait, you go to a water that is known for big catches on a curtain bait, and you don't get a bite all day. I caught my biggest pike {only 8lbs} when I was casting a float rod to test the shot, was using a size 16 hook which was gold in colour, had no bait on and on the retrieve, bang. fishing can be crazy at times, love the channel, keep up the good work.
the slamo is a fatso not a slider, ive had the fatso and agree its rolling action with no wiggle is poor. the sliders are good fish catchers though and have a great action. i had a savage gear rat and it took forever to catch a pike on it, but once i did i started to use it a little more or longer and have now caught a few fish but its not a great fish catcher. surface fish is a very time and place type of thing. good video.
Yes my bad, it’s a fatso! I’m definitely going to do some videos trying to catch on these lures! Sometimes it’s just having the confidence to use them for prolonged periods. Tight lines and thanks for watching 🎣🎣🎣

You are absolutely right, it is definitely more of a crankbait than anything and it is the fatso, my bad! 👍 Thanks for watching dude! Tight lines! 🎣

I dont think no2 is a Salmo Slider, probably some other Salmo model. Slider has a different shape.
It's a Salmo Fatso.
You could be right mate, it might be the fatso not the slider, I couldn’t remember which one it was 👍🎣
