Salmo Hornet Floating 3.5cm Pearl Shad

Salmo Hornet Floating 3.5cm — Pearl Shad — Legendary Walleye Action in a Micro Package

The Salmo Hornet Floating 3.5cm in Pearl Shad delivers the same legendary rod-vibrating action that earned larger Hornets recognition from In-Fisherman Magazine as one of the greatest walleye crankbaits ever, now in a compact size perfect for pressured waters and finesse presentations.

Irresistible Fast-Twitch Action

Constructed from Salmo's proprietary high-density space-aged foam with gravity similar to balsa wood, this micro crankbait produces a fast, erratic twitch that transmits directly to your rod tip. The tight wiggle triggers aggressive strikes from perch, trout, chub, and panfish in shallow water. Each lure is individually hand-tuned and tank-tested to ensure perfect action straight from the package.

Built to Outlast Teeth and Time

The high-density foam body resists pike and perch teeth far better than traditional balsa or plastic, remaining unabsorbent and exceptionally durable through countless fish. A welded single through-wire construction prevents hooks from tearing away during hard fights, while the unbreakable polycarbonate lip withstands rocky structure and repeated impacts. Backed by Salmo's Lifetime Warranty.
