Requires on-going maintenance, September 8, 2009
By Serg from Rochester, MN

"This is a good top-water lure. It makes churning prop noise of a lower frequency than most top-water prop-equipped lures and this makes Salmo Turbo Jack a wanted piece in one’s tackle box. However, this lure often quits working and requires re-adjustment – which is no fun when it does it on “that important cast to a grand spot”.

The lure's prop fin is made of real thin steel and it bends closer to the lure body as it repeatedly hits water during normal casts. Another problem with this lure is that the lure rear side is not spinning sufficiently smoothly which creates an extra water resistance just enough to make the lure run on its side. I’d guess the axle wire that holds all parts of the lure together is not strong enough to withstand lure’s regular use - readjustment is also required (though not that often as the first problem I’ve described in my review).

Don’t be discouraged by this review – Salmo Turbo Jack is a good thing to have for muskie fishing, but be advised that you might need to do some on-going maintenance while casting…"

"Excellent lure for those big Pike, takes a lil bit of rod to throw it but works great especially in the early mornings when those hogs are lying just under the surface."

"Last year I purchased one of these and it was a killer for Topwater. This year I purchased three of different colors but they were not well balanced. Tend to spin when retreving. I think they are made cheaper now. Prop also tends to bend too easily."
