Salmo Hornet

Salmo Hornet — The Compact Wobbler That Fools Multiple Predators

The Salmo Hornet is a small, fast and effective polycarbonate wobbler designed for spinning and trolling across a wide range of predatory species and water types.

Built for Versatility Across Species and Waters

The Hornet earns its reputation by targeting pike, zander, perch, and trout with equal confidence. Its compact body and lively action make it effective whether you're working a fast-flowing river or a still lake. Fish it upstream against the current at a slow retrieve, or race it downstream with the flow — both approaches produce results. Short pauses near likely holding spots frequently trigger bites.

Action You Can Feel Through the Rod

The polycarbonate lip delivers a tight, pronounced wobbling action that transmits directly into the rod blank, giving you constant feedback on lure behaviour. For trolling, short bursts of acceleration applied via the rod tip often provoke reaction strikes from following fish. Use light gear — light wire or small snap swivels and thin mainline — to let the Hornet run freely and perform at its best.
