Salmo Hornet Floating 3.5cm Green Tiger

Salmo Hornet Floating 3.5cm Green Tiger — Legendary crankbait action in a compact package

The Salmo Hornet Floating 3.5cm in Green Tiger delivers the fast-twitch, rod-vibrating action that made this crankbait legendary among freshwater anglers. Recognized by In-Fisherman Magazine as one of the greatest walleye crankbaits ever, this hand-crafted lure is equally effective on perch, trout, and other predators.

Virtually indestructible foam construction

Built from Salmo's proprietary High Density Space-Aged Foam (HDSF), the Hornet resists teeth marks, won't absorb water, and outlasts traditional balsa or plastic crankbaits. The unbreakable polycarbonate lip and welded through-wire construction ensure hooks never tear out, even during aggressive strikes.

Irresistible fast-twitch action

Each Hornet is individually hand-tuned and tank-tested to guarantee perfect swimming behavior straight from the box. The tight wobble and vibration transmission through the rod tip trigger strikes from even hesitant predators in shallow water zones from 0.5 to 1.0 m depth.
