Salmo Hornet Sinking 2.5cm Holographic Grey Shiner

Salmo Hornet Sinking 2.5cm Holographic Grey Shiner — Ultra-Light Crankbait for Shallow Precision

The Salmo Hornet Sinking 2.5cm in Holographic Grey Shiner is your go-to micro crankbait when targeting cautious predators in shallow water. At just 1.5 g, this sinking lure delivers a tight, vibrating action that triggers strikes from trout, perch, chub, and other freshwater species.

Irresistible Action That Predators Can't Ignore

Crafted from Salmo's proprietary High Density Space-Aged Foam (HDSF), the Hornet vibrates intensely on the retrieve, transmitting every twitch through your rod. The sinking version allows you to control depth precisely, working the 0.5–1.0 m zone where fish often hold. The realistic Holographic Grey Shiner finish mimics baitfish perfectly in clear to lightly stained water.

Built to Last, Tuned to Perfection

Every Hornet is individually hand-tuned and tank-tested in Poland to ensure flawless performance straight from the box. The thru-wire construction is welded at both ends for maximum strength, while the unbreakable polycarbonate lip stands up to rocks, timber, and aggressive strikes. Split rings are made in the USA by Rasco for reliable hook-ups every cast.
