Salmo Hornet Sinking 4cm Real Dace

Salmo Hornet Sinking 4cm Real Dace — Fast-Sinking Crankbait for Precise Depth Control

The Salmo Hornet Sinking 4cm in Real Dace delivers the legendary Hornet action with a sinking design that puts you in the strike zone faster. Hand-crafted in Poland and recognized by In-Fisherman Magazine as one of the greatest walleye crankbaits of all time, this 4cm version excels on perch, trout, chub, and other freshwater predators in rivers, streams, and deeper stillwaters.

Sinking Design for Versatile Presentations

The Sinking variant allows you to count down to your target depth, explore deeper pockets, or work current seams with precision. The fast-twitch, rod-vibrating action triggers strikes from cautious predators, while the Real Dace pattern mimics a natural forage fish in clear to lightly stained water.

Unmatched Durability and Performance

Constructed from Salmo's proprietary High Density Space-Aged Foam (HDSF), the Hornet resists teeth marks, absorbs no water, and maintains its action season after season. A welded through-wire design ensures hooks never pull free, and the unbreakable polycarbonate lip stands up to rocks, wood, and countless fish. Each lure is individually hand-tuned and tank-tested before leaving the factory.
