Yes, it supports both methods. The stated diving depths are 3.5m when casting and 5m when trolling, so choose the method to suit your intended fishing depth. It is a floating lure, not a surface-only lure.
This 9cm, 36g version is aimed primarily at big pike and catfish. Its enlarged profile displaces more water than the classic Hornet. The supplier also names zander, perch and trout for the Hornet, but the size and weight matter when choosing tackle for this larger version.
In current, retrieve slowly against the flow or faster with it, with short pauses near likely holding spots. In still water, the lure can be cast or trolled. Brief rod-driven accelerations vary the trolling presentation, and the action is perceptible through the rod.
One lure is supplied with two VMC Black Nickel treble hooks, with a stated hook size of 1. The sharp hooks require careful handling and a secure container for transport and storage. Keep them away from children, dispose of damaged hooks safely and wash your hands after handling the lure, as the supplier warns of possible lead or cadmium content.

The Salmo Hornet 9 is a floating crankbait for casting and trolling, with a larger profile that displaces more water than the classic Hornet. This 9cm, 36g version in SMELT AYU is built for big pike and catfish. The supplier also lists zander, perch and trout among the Hornet's target species, but this scaled-up version is aimed primarily at large predators.
The stated diving depth is 3.5m when casting and 5m when trolling. Choose your presentation according to the depth you want to fish, and account for the 36g lure weight when selecting tackle.
In flowing water, the Hornet can be fished upstream or downstream. Retrieve slowly against the current or faster with it, adding brief pauses near likely holding spots. In still water, cast or troll it. Short accelerations with the rod can vary the trolling presentation, and its action can be felt through the rod.
Through-wire construction provides strength for fishing for large predators. The polycarbonate diving lip supports consistent action and durability. Two VMC Black Nickel treble hooks are fitted, with a stated hook size of 1. Each lure is individually hand tuned and tank tested to check its action before use. The pack contains one lure in the selected variant.
The sharp hooks can cause serious injury. Handle them carefully, check suitability before use, and transport and store the lure in a secure container out of children's reach. Dispose of used or damaged hooks safely. The supplier warns that the lure may contain chemicals such as lead or cadmium and that prolonged exposure can be harmful. Wash hands thoroughly after handling, avoid ingestion and keep the lure away from food. Follow the supplied safety and usage instructions.
