Salmo Hornet Sinking 4cm Beetle

Salmo Hornet Sinking 4cm — Proven Fish-Catching Action in a Compact Crankbait

The Salmo Hornet Sinking 4cm in Beetle delivers the legendary, rod-vibrating action that In-Fisherman Magazine recognized as one of the greatest walleye crankbaits of all time. Hand-crafted in Poland and individually tank-tested, this compact sinker excels on perch, trout, chub and other predators in rivers, streams and stillwaters.

Fast-Sinking Design for Deeper Zones and Current

The sinking variant drops quickly into the strike zone, making it ideal for working deeper pockets, fast-flowing streams or counting down over submerged structure. Its dense foam body maintains the signature Hornet wobble while you retrieve or drift, triggering aggressive strikes from predators holding near the bottom.

Tooth-Proof Construction That Lasts Season After Season

Built from Salmo's proprietary High Density Space-Aged Foam—engineered to match balsa buoyancy with superior durability—the Hornet resists teeth punctures, absorbs no water and bounces back from countless fish encounters. A welded through-wire design and unbreakable polycarbonate lip ensure hooks stay locked and the lure keeps fishing, year after year.

Choose the Right Variant

The Hornet Sinking line-up offers five sizes and multiple colour patterns to match hatch and water clarity. Select your model based on target species and fishing conditions:

• 2.5cm — Ultra-light tackle, small stream trout, perch fry feeders

• 3.5cm — Creeks and canals, trout, small perch, chub

• 4cm (this model) — Versatile all-rounder for perch, trout, asp, chub in rivers and stillwaters; Beetle pattern for natural dark-water camouflage
