Salmo Hornet 5cm 3–4m 8g Ayu

Salmo Hornet – Compact Predator Wobbler That Dives Deep

The Salmo Hornet is a small, fast-working wobbler built for multi-species spinning and trolling, designed to reach and work effectively at depths where predators hold. In its 5 cm / 8 g form with a 3–4 m running depth, it covers the productive mid-water zone with a tight, unmistakable action you can feel through the rod tip.

Versatile Action for Spinning and Trolling

The Hornet handles both upstream and downstream presentations with equal confidence. Retrieved slowly against the current or swept quickly with it, the lure maintains its action throughout. Short pauses near suspected holding spots frequently trigger strikes. In still water, the Hornet performs well both cast-and-retrieve and trolled behind a boat — brief rod-tip surges during the troll regularly produce bonus takes.

Polycarbonate Lip and VMC Hooks for Reliable Performance

The polycarbonate diving lip drives the Hornet down to its rated running depth quickly and holds that zone precisely through changes in retrieve speed. Two sharp VMC Black Nickel treble hooks provide secure hooksets on pike, zander, perch, and trout alike. Light terminal tackle — small clips or swivels and thin line — is recommended to let the lure swim freely and show its full action.

Choose the Right Variant

The Salmo Hornet Wobbler range spans multiple sizes, weights, running depths, and colours to match different target species and fishing conditions. Select the variant that fits your water and quarry:

• Salmo Hornet 4 cm / 3 g, running depth 1.5–3.1 m, River Craw — shallow-running micro version; ideal for stream trout and small perch on light spinning tackle

• Salmo Hornet 4 cm / 3 g, running depth 1.5–3.1 m, Holo Super Bleak — same compact profile with a baitfish flash; effective for perch and trout in clear water

• Salmo Hornet 4 cm / 4 g, running depth 2–2.5 m, Holo Super Bleak (sinking) — sinking version for deeper pockets and faster currents

• Salmo Hornet 4 cm / 4 g, running depth 2–2.5 m, Green Tiger (sinking) — natural predator pattern; suited to perch and zander in coloured water

• Salmo Hornet 5 cm / 8 g, running depth 3–4 m, Ayu — mid-range size with deeper reach; targets pike, zander, and perch in open water and moderate currents

• Salmo Hornet 6 cm / 10 g, running depth 2–5.6 m, Spotted Brown Perch — larger profile and wide depth range; well suited to pike and bigger zander
