Salmo Hornet Floating 3.5cm Holographic Grey Shiner

Salmo Hornet Floating 3.5cm — Holographic Grey Shiner — Classic micro crankbait action that triggers strikes

This ultralight floating crankbait delivers the fast-twitch, rod-vibrating action that made the Hornet a legend. At just 2.2 g and 3.5 cm, the Holographic Grey Shiner pattern imitates baitfish perfectly in shallow water.

Built from space-aged foam for unmatched durability

Constructed from Salmo's proprietary High Density Space-Aged Foam (HDSF), the Hornet resists tooth marks, won't absorb water, and maintains its action season after season. The material offers the same buoyancy as balsa wood but with exceptional toughness that outlasts traditional wooden cranks.

Hand-tuned precision in every cast

Every Hornet is individually tank-tested and hand-tuned in Poland to guarantee perfect swimming action straight from the box. The welded through-wire construction ensures hooks never pull free, while the unbreakable polycarbonate lip dives reliably to 0.5–1 m and stands up to rocks and structure.
