Yes. The Hornet is described for freshwater predator fishing by casting and trolling. In current, retrieve slowly against the flow or quickly with it and add short pauses near holding spots. In still water, it can be cast or trolled with brief rod-driven accelerations. The supplied use evidence is for freshwater, not coastal fishing.
Compare the selected variant's length, lure weight and running depth. Documented mini variants run at 0.5–1 m in 2.5 cm and 1–2.6 m in 3.5 cm. Documented 4 cm variants run at 2–2.5 m, while documented 5 and 6 cm variants both run at 3–4 m but weigh 8 and 14 g respectively. Choose the presentation size and stated depth you need, and do not assume missing figures from another colour.
Every variant in this selection is explicitly named Hornet Sinking. The wider Hornet range also includes Floating and Super Deep Runner versions, but those are not the versions offered here. Choose this selection when you want the sinking version rather than a floating lure.
The stated pack contains one Hornet in the selected variant, not a colour assortment. Where specified, 2.5 and 3.5 cm mini variants have one treble, while 4, 5 and 6 cm variants have two. VMC Black Nickel hooks are described for the family. Check the selected variant's hook information where a count is supplied.
The high-density foam body resists teeth and does not absorb water, and the welded through-wire secures the hook attachments. Each lure is tuned and tank-tested before use. The supplier also warns of possible lead or cadmium, so wash your hands after handling and avoid ingestion or food contact.

The Salmo Hornet Sinking is a lipped crankbait for freshwater predator fishing in flowing and still water. Its fast, vibrating action transmits movement to the rod, giving clear feedback during the retrieve. The Hornet family is used for perch, trout, pike and zander, with casting and trolling both supported. This selection contains sinking versions in five lengths from 2.5 to 6 cm.
Use light tackle, small snaps or swivels and thin line as described by the supplier. In rivers, the Hornet can be fished both upstream and downstream. Retrieve slowly against the current or quickly with it, adding short pauses near suspected holding spots. In still water, cast and retrieve it or troll it, using brief rod-driven accelerations to vary the presentation.
Choose by the individual variant's specifications, not length alone. Where documented, the 2.5 cm mini variants weigh 1.5 g and run at 0.5–1 m, while the 3.5 cm mini variants weigh 2.6 g and run at 1–2.6 m. These offer the smallest presentations in the selection. Documented 4 cm variants weigh 4 g and run at 2–2.5 m. Documented 5 cm variants weigh 8 g and run at 3–4 m, while documented 6 cm variants weigh 14 g with the same stated 3–4 m range. The larger option therefore increases lure size and weight without necessarily increasing the stated depth. Weight and running depth are not supplied for every colour and size combination, so check the selected variant rather than transferring a sibling's figures. All variants here are Sinking, not the Floating or Super Deep Runner versions also mentioned in the wider Hornet range.
Colours across the selection are Holographic Grey Shiner, Real Dace, Beetle, Hot Perch, Pearl Shad, Trout, Olive Hot Spot, UV Purple, Real Identity Perch and Dace blue. Availability varies by length. The wider range includes realistic and high-contrast patterns, with True Image Technology, Holographic Feature Technology, fluorescent, UV and metallic finishes mentioned by the supplier. Those finish technologies are not individually specified for every colour here. Choose the named pattern you want without assuming an undocumented finish or water-clarity recommendation. Where specified, the 2.5 and 3.5 cm mini variants carry one treble hook, and the 4, 5 and 6 cm variants carry two. VMC Black Nickel hooks are described in the Hornet family evidence. The stated pack contains one lure in the chosen variant.
The Salmo High Density Space-Aged Foam (HDSF) body has a density comparable to balsa, resists predators' teeth and does not absorb water. A single through-wire, welded at both ends, secures the hook attachment structure. The polycarbonate lip provides the diving surface, while Rasco split rings are made in the USA. Each lure is handcrafted, painted, individually hand-tuned and tank-tested to check its action before use. Hornets are made in Poland, have been in the Salmo range since 1995 and are backed by the supplier's lifetime warranty.
The supplier warns that the lure may contain chemicals such as lead or cadmium and that prolonged exposure can be harmful. Wash hands thoroughly after handling, avoid ingestion and keep the lure away from food.
