Solvkroken Vikingsild is a classic spoon lure originally developed by Martin Lopez. Its carefully balanced shape delivers excellent casting performance, while the distinctive corrugated surface generates additional turbulence and underwater sound waves that attract predatory fish from a distance.
During both the retrieve and the fall, Vikingsild produces a stable and highly attractive action. As the lure sinks, it closely imitates a weakened or injured baitfish, often triggering immediate strikes from nearby predators.
Vikingsild is one of the most versatile spoon lures in the Solvkroken range. It performs effectively in rivers, lakes and coastal waters, maintaining an attractive swimming action across a wide range of retrieve speeds.
The lure is highly effective for salmon, sea trout, pike and other predatory fish that actively hunt baitfish. Its versatility makes it a popular choice among anglers looking for one lure suitable for different fisheries and conditions.
The specially designed corrugated surface increases light reflection and enhances the acoustic signature of the lure underwater. This helps Vikingsild remain visible even in challenging conditions and attract fish from greater distances.
The combination of flashes, pressure waves and irregular vibrations creates the impression of vulnerable prey, encouraging predatory fish to strike.
The larger 30 g and 40 g versions of Vikingsild have earned a strong reputation among salmon anglers. Their weight allows exceptionally long casts, an important advantage when covering large rivers and extensive coastal areas.
Solvkroken Vikingsild is a proven Norwegian spoon lure that combines long-distance casting, attractive action and effectiveness confirmed by generations of anglers targeting predatory fish.
Solvkroken is one of Norway’s most recognised fishing tackle brands. Since 1930, the company has been producing pilkers, spoons and fishing lures designed for demanding Scandinavian waters. Solvkroken products are trusted by anglers targeting cod, coalfish, halibut and other predatory species in both coastal and offshore environments.
The Solvkroken range includes classic sea pilkers, vertical jigging lures, salmon and trout spoons, as well as modern spinning lures. Many of these models have been used successfully for decades and remain a popular choice among anglers travelling to Norway.
Solvkroken is especially well known for its sea fishing pilkers. Series such as Svenskepilk, Stingsilda, Jensen Pilk, Solvpilk, Calamar and Storm are designed for fishing in deep water and strong tidal currents. Their proven shapes help the lure reach the desired depth quickly while maintaining a stable action during vertical jigging.
Anglers fishing the Norwegian fjords value these lures for their durability, saltwater resistance and reliable performance on the drop. Depending on the model, they can be used for traditional vertical jigging, active lift-and-drop presentations or more technical sea fishing methods.
Another important part of the Solvkroken range is its legendary spoon selection. Models such as Aura Lillauren, Morild Trout, Spesial Classic, Salamander Trout, Vikingsild and Buch Salmon have earned a strong reputation among salmon and trout anglers across Scandinavia.
Their carefully developed shapes and attractive action make them effective in rivers, lakes and coastal waters. These spoons are widely used when targeting salmon, sea trout, brown trout and other predatory fish species.
At Fishing-Mart you will find a wide selection of original Solvkroken products, including sea pilkers, spoons, jigs, soft baits and modern spinning lures. The range combines long-established classics with new designs developed for contemporary fishing techniques.
