Salmo Hornet 9cm 3.5–5m 36g Emerald Perch

Salmo Hornet 9 cm — Deep-Diving Wobbler That Triggers Predators at 3.5–5 m

The Salmo Hornet is a compact, fast-action crankbait built to fool pike, perch, zander, and trout across rivers and stillwaters alike. At 9 cm and 36 g, this Emerald Perch colourway is purpose-made for probing deeper zones where bigger predators hold.

Depth-Seeking Action That Reaches the Strike Zone

Equipped with a polycarbonate diving lip, the Hornet 9 cm dives quickly and tracks precisely between 3.5 and 5 m — putting the lure right in front of fish holding along deep weed edges, drop-offs, and channel structures. Its action transmits clearly through the rod, so you always know what the lure is doing.

Versatile Presentation in Current and Still Water

The Hornet performs equally well cast upstream or downstream. Retrieve it slowly against the flow or faster with it — both produce fish. Short pauses near suspected holding spots regularly trigger strikes. In stillwaters it excels both on the cast and when trolling; brief rod-tip accelerations during the troll add an enticing surge that often draws the extra bite.

Choose the Right Variant

The Salmo Hornet Wobbler range covers a wide spread of sizes, weights, depths, and colours to match different target species, water types, and presentation styles.

• Salmo Hornet 4 cm / 3 g, 1.5–3.1 m (e.g. River Craw, Holo Super Bleak): Ultra-light spinning for perch, trout, and chub in shallow rivers and streams; pairs with light gear and fine lines.

• Salmo Hornet 4 cm / 4 g, 2–2.5 m sinking (e.g. Green Tiger, Holo Super Bleak): Compact sinking model for targeting perch and trout in the mid-column; drop-and-twitch tactics.

• Salmo Hornet 5 cm / 8 g, 3–4 m (e.g. Ayu): Versatile all-rounder for zander and perch in medium-depth rivers and lakes.

• Salmo Hornet 6 cm / 10 g, 2–5.6 m (e.g. Spotted Brown Perch): Wide depth range suits varied retrieves; good for zander and pike in lakes with changing structure.

• Salmo Hornet 9 cm / 36 g, 3.5–5 m — Emerald Perch (this variant): Larger profile and deep-diving lip for pike, big perch, and zander in deep stillwaters and large rivers; fish slow or with trolling rigs.
