Salmo Hornet Sinking 2.5cm Pearl Shad

Salmo Hornet Sinking 2.5cm Pearl Shad — Ultra-Compact Precision for Pressured Waters

The Salmo Hornet Sinking 2.5cm in Pearl Shad delivers tournament-proven crankbait action in a micro profile that triggers bites when larger lures fail.

Fast-Sinking Design Reaches Fish Faster

The sinking action lets you work precise depths from 0.5 to 1.0 m without waiting. Cast to structure, let it drop into the strike zone, and start your retrieve immediately. The 1.5 g weight provides excellent castability for such a compact lure, while the polycarbonate lip generates the signature tight wobble that has made the Hornet a legend since 1995.

Salmo High Density Foam Body Survives Aggressive Strikes

Constructed from proprietary High Density Space-Aged Foam (HDSF) with a density similar to balsa, this crankbait resists tooth damage from perch, trout, and other predators far better than traditional materials. The thru-wire construction is welded at both ends, so hooks never pull free even during head-shaking battles. Each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested in Poland to ensure flawless swimming action straight from the package.
