Salmo Hornet Floating 9cm 3.5–5m 36g Holo Smelt

Salmo Hornet Floating 9cm — Built for Monster Fish

Developed with Europe's top catfish hunters, the Hornet Floating 9cm delivers the strength and vibration needed to target big predators. Whether you're casting or trolling deep, this crankbait performs reliably in pursuit of catfish, pike, and other trophy species.

Strong Vibrations You Can Feel

The aggressive action transmits directly to the rod tip, letting you monitor the lure's performance even when trolling 45 metres behind the boat. This feedback keeps you connected to the bait and helps you detect strikes instantly.

Built to Handle Trophy Fish

Thru-wire construction welded at the ends and a durable polycarbonate lip ensure the Hornet stands up to the power of large catfish and pike. The Salmo High Density Space-Aged Foam (HDSF) body combines toughness with consistent buoyancy, while each lure is individually hand-tuned and tank-tested before leaving the factory.
