HK Varma Taimen Pinta 10 cm Single Hook Plug

If you're looking for an effective trolling lure for near-surface fishing, the HK Varma Taimen Pinta 10 cm is a versatile and easy-to-use choice. This single-hook model simplifies catch and release, and it builds on the classic HK Varma action that has made the brand renowned among trout and salmon anglers. The lure features a scooped lip that maintains a stable swimming depth below two meters. This makes it especially suitable during the cold-water seasons of spring and late autumn, when trout and landlocked salmon hunt in the upper water layers. It's also effective for zander during warm summer evenings as they feed near the surface. Thanks to a broad speed range of approximately 2.5–6.0 km/h, the plug maintains its searching and balanced action in various situations. Its balsa wood body provides a sensitive and natural movement. The single hook, paired with a high-quality VMC hook and strong split rings, allows for easy and gentle fish release. The finishes are chosen for both appearance and functionality. Choose from chrome, hologram, glitter, or tin foil – each designed to stand out and reflect light under different lighting and water conditions. All HK Varma plugs are handmade and suitable for both rowing and motor trolling. This model originated in the 1990s in Lehmo, Joensuu, where creator Hannu Kesonen fine-tuned its action, sound, and sensitivity in local waters.
