Salmo Hornet

Salmo Hornet — One Lure for Pike, Perch, Zander and Trout

The Salmo Hornet is a compact, fast-moving crankbait built from polycarbonate and fitted with two sharp treble hooks — a versatile predator lure that works across species, seasons and water types.

Built to Work in Current and Still Water

The Hornet earns its reputation by performing in both flowing and still waters. In rivers, retrieve it slowly against the current or speed it up downstream; brief pauses near likely holding spots frequently trigger strikes. In lakes, it works equally well on the cast or trolled — a short rod twitch during the troll often produces bonus takes. The lure's action transmits clearly through the rod, so you always know what it's doing.

Versatile Predator Lure on Light Tackle

To get the best from the Hornet, match it with light gear: thin line, small snaps or swivels, and a sensitive rod. This setup lets the polycarbonate bill do its job and keeps the lure's movement natural. The combination of body size and bill design makes it effective for pike, zander, perch and trout — particularly useful when conditions demand a compact profile.
