The Asp (Aspius aspius) is a fast and powerful freshwater predator found in rivers and large lakes across Europe. Known for explosive surface strikes and aggressive feeding, asp fishing is all about speed, precision, and reaction.

Asp often hunt schools of baitfish near the surface, making them perfect targets for fast-moving lures. Anglers use hardbaits, topwaters, and vibration baits to imitate fleeing prey. Proven lures include the BlueBlue Narage 65, Nays LPR, Rapala Rippin’ Rap, and BlueBlue Snecon 90s, all designed to trigger instant bites from this lightning-quick predator.

Use a light to medium spinning setup with thin braid and a fluorocarbon leader for the best casting distance and lure control. The right combination of speed and movement is key — asp hit hard and fast, often right at the surface.

Whether you’re chasing them in rivers or still waters, asp fishing delivers adrenaline and action on every cast.
