HK Varma Pinta Taimen 13 cm Plug

When trout and landlocked salmon move closer to the surface during the cold periods of spring and autumn – that's when the HK Varma Pinta Taimen 13 cm truly shines. This handcrafted plug is specifically designed for such conditions, with a balanced swimming action and an optimized shallow-running depth for surface trolling. Zander are also known to strike when the water warms up in midsummer. The plug remains stable at a depth of around 0.5 meters thanks to its specially shaped lip. This is the ideal level when salmonids are active in the upper water layers – especially effective during chilly mornings or overcast autumn days. Its 13 cm length provides a natural and pronounced movement that draws attention from larger fish. The surface finishes are not just eye-catching – they’re functional. Choose between chrome, hologram, glitter, or tin foil to match the water’s color and light conditions. The lure’s reflections act like a magnet for curious predators. With an optimal speed range of about 2.5–6.0 km/h, the Pinta Taimen is a versatile companion whether you’re trolling fast or slow, in clear or murky waters.
