Salmo Rover Stickbait: If you want to start appealing to more and bigger bass with topwater action, the all new Rover from Salmo is the answer. The Rover loves to get chewed-on by big bass. Designed to quickly walk from side to side in the classic "walk the dog" action bass anglers love, but this topwater lure does much more.
You can make it pop, twitch and quiver. The key is balance and floatation. The Rover is designed to sit lower in the water than most topwater lures so it makes the Rover much easier for a bass to target and your hooking success will skyrocket.
How to fish Rover
The Rover is a versatile surface lure designed to be used with all standard surface fishing techniques. "Walking-the dog" with the Rover is easier than ever with gentle rhythmic strokes of the rod tip. It is also easy to use as a popper and sometimes great results can be enjoyed by simply retrieving it straight across the surface at a constant fast speed. However, you should find that combining all these 3 techniques would provide the best results. In lakes the Rover is used for fishing between patches of reeds and over shallow areas with submerged vegetation. After casting we wait a few seconds before retrieving with any of the various techniques and every couple of metres we pause and leave the lure floating motionless for a few seconds. The Rover is an excellent lure for asp, both in rivers and lakes, the best places in rivers is in slacks where the flow is very slow or stationary. Whatever you do be sure to make the most of this lure's versatility, experiment to find the best blend of techniques to suit the conditions.
There is no doubt about it, the Salmo Rover will soon become a fisherman's best friend. Anglers who fish the Rover find it is easy to cast. One of the big secrets to this bait is to not be in a hurry to move the lure once it hits the water. Ideally you will want to fish pockets in weeds or near objects in the water that will hold fish. Keep your rod high at all times while fishing. When a strike is seen, you are now forced to drop the tip to set the hook. This extra amount of time to set the hook is a big advantage because the fish will not quickly throw the bait, but will actually start to swim away from you. Your odds of getting a good hook into the fish skyrockets. The Salmo Rover is specifically designed to lay low in the water and walk from side to side with a series of short jerks. Pausing for 2 to 10 seconds between a series of short jerks will allow time for the bass to see and move in on the bait. You can expect most strikes to take place while the lure is standing still, so be ready at all times
