Salmo Hornet Floating 9cm Nordic Perch

Salmo Hornet 9cm — Built for Giants, Deadly on Pike and Catfish

The Salmo Hornet Floating 9cm in Nordic Perch is a heavyweight crankbait designed in partnership with Europe's top catfish hunters. This 9cm powerhouse delivers unstoppable vibrations and bomb-proof construction for casting and trolling alike.

Monster-Proof Construction

Salmo's High Density Space-Aged Foam (HDSF) body paired with thru-wire construction welded at the ends means this lure can handle the most brutal strikes and prolonged battles with catfish, pike, and other apex predators. The polycarbonate lip digs deep and shrugs off impacts with structure, while USA-made Rasco split rings ensure your connection stays solid when it matters most.

Unmistakable Vibration and Control

Whether you're casting tight to cover or trolling 45+ metres behind the boat, the Hornet transmits powerful vibrations straight to your rod tip. This instant feedback lets you read the lure's action, detect bottom contact, and feel strikes immediately—critical advantages when targeting wary trophy fish in deep water or murky conditions.

Choose the Right Variant

The Hornet Floating 9cm line offers natural and eye-catching colour patterns to match your target species and water conditions:

• Nordic Perch (current) — realistic perch imitation for pike, catfish, and large perch in clear to moderately stained water

• Holographic Grey Shiner — versatile baitfish pattern with holographic flash for low-light and deeper presentations

• Silver Halo — high-contrast metallic finish for murky water and aggressive feeding windows

• Holo Red Head — classic wounded-baitfish trigger with holographic body and red accent

• Green Tiger — bold fluorescent pattern for stained water and active predators
