Salmo Hornet Floating 4cm Olive Hot Spot

Salmo Hornet Floating 4 cm Olive Hot Spot — The Legendary Walleye Crankbait That Catches Everything

Recognized by In-Fisherman Magazine as one of the greatest walleye crankbaits of all time, the Salmo Hornet has been a staple in tackle boxes since 1995. This hand-crafted floating crankbait delivers a fast-twitch, rod-vibrating action that freshwater predators simply cannot resist.

Built From Space-Aged Foam for Unmatched Durability

Constructed from proprietary High Density Space-Aged Foam (HDSF) engineered to match the specific gravity of balsa wood, the Hornet combines the liveliness of traditional wood lures with modern resilience. The body resists teeth marks, absorbs no water, and withstands countless strikes from pike, bass, walleye, and perch. A welded single through-wire construction ensures hooks never tear away, while the unbreakable polycarbonate lip provides years of reliable diving performance.

Irresistible Action That Triggers More Strikes

Every Hornet is individually hand-tuned and tank-tested to guarantee perfect swimming action straight from the box. The fast-twitch wobble transmits directly to your rod, creating vibrations that attract predators from distance and trigger aggressive strikes. The Olive Hot Spot finish combines natural olive tones with high-contrast markings—ideal for stained water and low-light conditions where visibility matters.
