Salmo Hornet Floating 6cm Hot Perch

Salmo Hornet Floating 6cm Hot Perch — Proven walleye magnet with fast-twitch action

Recognized by In-Fisherman Magazine as one of the greatest walleye crankbaits ever made, the Salmo Hornet Floating in Hot Perch delivers irresistible rod-vibrating action that freshwater predators simply cannot ignore.

Tooth-proof foam construction outlasts balsa

Crafted from proprietary High Density Space-Aged Foam (HDSF) engineered to balsa-like density, this crankbait resists pike teeth, absorbs zero water, and maintains perfect buoyancy season after season. The unbreakable polycarbonate lip and welded thru-wire construction ensure the Hornet survives aggressive strikes and snag releases without failure.

Fast-twitch action triggers predator instinct

The Hornet's tight wobble and high-frequency vibration create the rod-transmitting feedback that signals fish are tracking. Whether cranked steadily over weedbeds or twitched along drop-offs, the floating 6cm model rises on the pause to trigger reaction bites from walleye, perch, pike, and bass in rivers, reservoirs, and natural lakes.

Choose the right variant

The Salmo Hornet line offers five sizes (3.5cm, 4cm, 5cm, 6cm, and 9cm) in three buoyancy options (Floating, Sinking, and Super Deep Runner) across natural and high-contrast patterns:

• 3.5cm Floating — ultralight setups, small streams, trout and panfish

• 4cm Floating — finesse crankbait rod, pressured water, perch and smaller walleye

• 5cm Floating — all-round walleye and bass, 1–2m depth

• 6cm Floating Hot Perch — medium casting or trolling setups, walleye and pike, shallow to mid-depth (current product)

• 6cm Floating Real Identity Perch / Real Dace / Holographic Grey Shiner / Dace blue / Nordic Perch / Olive Hot Spot — alternative natural and UV patterns for varying light and water clarity

• Sinking and Super Deep Runner variants — deeper presentations and current penetration
