Salmo Hornet Floating 6cm Nordic Perch

Salmo Hornet Floating 6cm Nordic Perch – Cast farther, dive deeper, catch more

Recognized by In-Fisherman Magazine as one of the greatest walleye crankbaits of all time, the Salmo Hornet delivers a fast-twitch, rod-vibrating action that freshwater predators simply can't resist.

Legendary action that triggers strikes

The Hornet's signature high-frequency wobble is the result of precision hand-tuning and tank testing. Each lure is individually checked before leaving the factory, ensuring consistent performance on every cast. The proprietary high-density foam body creates natural buoyancy and irresistible movement that provokes reaction strikes from walleye, perch, pike, bass, and trout alike.

Built to survive thousands of casts

Constructed from high-density space-aged foam engineered to match balsa density, the Hornet resists teeth marks, won't absorb water, and maintains its action season after season. A welded single through-wire construction keeps hooks secure even during aggressive fights, while the unbreakable polycarbonate lip withstands impacts with rocks, timber, and hard bottom. Backed by Salmo's lifetime warranty.
