The Ito Craft Caliber 85HS is a heavy sinking 85mm minnow for big rivers. Its 20g weight and rearward balance help it reach runs that lie well out from the bank. In strong current it rolls from flank to flank with less side-to-side tail movement than the 16g version.
Ito Craft designed the Caliber for cherry salmon in Japanese rivers. A tight line can lift the lure as the current catches it. Give the 85HS a short twitch to turn it on its side, then ease the line tension to let it drop again. Its rearward balance helps you bring it back to the depth of the lie between twitches.
Aluminium foil on the flat sides of the ABS body flashes as the lure rolls. The quoted 20g includes the size 4 C’ultiva ST-36BC treble hooks.
Where the flow eases, the 16g Caliber 85S keeps the same 85mm profile but swims with a wider tail swing.
