🐟 Chabot 9cm: The Ready-to-Fish Sculpin Mimic for Deep Water
The brand’s famous shad is now available in a 9cm pre-mounted version. It is the perfect lure for deep-water prospecting!
⚙️ Features of the Chabot 9cm
“Chabot” is the French translation for “Sculpin”, the small bottom-dwelling fish it mimics. Found in many rivers, sculpins typically hover just above the substrate. This lure was designed specifically to replicate that behavior:
- Bottom-Hugging Design: The body and head shape were developed to “stick” to the bottom during retrieval, triggering predators that feed in the depths.
- Over-Weighted Performance: The 9cm version comes pre-mounted with a 17gr head. This allows the lure to descend quickly and stay in the strike zone.
- Reinforced Hardware: Equipped with a hook strong enough to handle trophy fish without bending.
- Compact Size, High Depth: Easily offer a small profile to predators living in deep water layers.

🚀 The Ultimate Prospecting Lure
The Chabot features a stocky body combined with a large round paddle tail and a thin tail section. This design allows it to swim effectively at very slow speeds.
It is the ideal tool for exploring unknown deep areas. It reaches the bottom fast and maintains contact perfectly during a slow linear retrieve. However, it can also be retrieved quickly to target active fish during a feeding frenzy.

1. Bottom “Scratching”
Cast far and let the lure sink to the bottom. Retrieve at normal speed, pausing every 10 meters to regain bottom contact. Wait a few seconds before restarting. This is incredibly effective for bottom-dwellers in both fresh and salt water.
2. Vertical Fishing
The 9cm Chabot excels in vertical presentations at depths between 5 and 15 meters.
3. Targeting surface “Hunts”
Thanks to its compact, aerodynamic body and heavy head, it casts like a bullet. This makes it perfect for reaching surface hunts quickly from a distance.
