Salmo Hornet Floating 6cm Holographic Grey Shiner

Salmo Hornet Floating 6cm — The Legendary Crankbait for All Freshwater Predators

The Salmo Hornet Floating 6cm in Holographic Grey Shiner is your go-to crankbait for perch, pike, walleye and bass. Recognized by In-Fisherman Magazine as one of the greatest walleye crankbaits of all time, this hand-crafted lure delivers a fast-twitch, rod-vibrating action that freshwater predators simply cannot resist.

Proven Action That Catches More Fish

The Hornet's proprietary High Density Space-Aged Foam (HDSF) body is engineered to match the buoyancy of balsa wood while offering superior tooth resistance and durability. Each lure creates an irresistible wobble and vibration on the retrieve, triggering aggressive strikes from hungry predators across rivers, lakes and reservoirs.

Built to Last a Lifetime

Every Hornet features super-strong through-wire construction welded at both ends, ensuring hooks never tear away during hard fights. The unbreakable polycarbonate lip withstands repeated contact with structure, while the high-density foam body resists teeth marks and water absorption. Each lure is individually hand-tuned and tank-tested in Poland before leaving the factory, and backed by Salmo's Lifetime Warranty.

Choose the Right Variant

The Salmo Hornet lineup offers three buoyancy types and five sizes to match every situation. Select the version and color that fits your target species and conditions:
