Salmo Hornet Sinking 6cm Hot Perch

Salmo Hornet Sinking 6cm Hot Perch — Proven walleye crankbait for all predators

Recognized by In-Fisherman Magazine as one of the greatest walleye crankbaits of all time, the Salmo Hornet Sinking delivers a fast-twitch, rod-vibrating action that triggers aggressive strikes from pike, perch, zander, and trout in all types of water.

Irresistible vibrating action

Hand-crafted from high density space-aged foam with a gravity similar to balsa, the 6 cm Hornet produces an intense wobble that transmits directly to your rod tip. Each lure is individually tank-tested and tuned to ensure consistent performance straight out of the box, so you can fish with confidence from the first cast.

Built to withstand tooth and structure

The proprietary foam body resists teeth marks, absorbs no water, and bounces back after countless pike and zander battles. A welded single through-wire construction prevents hooks from tearing away, while the unbreakable polycarbonate lip survives repeated contact with rocks, wood, and gravel—backed by Salmo's Lifetime Warranty.

Choose the right variant

The Hornet Sinking family offers five sizes (2.5, 3.5, 4, 5, and 6 cm) in natural and high-contrast finishes to match forage and water conditions. Select your variant based on target species, depth, and visibility:
