Salmo Hornet Sinking 3.5cm Pearl Shad

Salmo Hornet Sinking 3.5cm Pearl Shad — Fast Sinking Action for Deeper Strikes

The Salmo Hornet Sinking 3.5cm in Pearl Shad delivers a fast-sinking profile that puts your lure in the strike zone faster and keeps it there longer, triggering aggressive bites from perch, walleye, trout and other freshwater predators.

Sinks Fast, Fishes Deep

With a sinking action and a running depth of 1.0–2.6 m, this 3.5 cm Hornet drops quickly through the water column, letting you target fish holding near the bottom or suspended in deeper layers. The 2.6 g weight provides excellent castability and control, even in current or wind.

Built to Last, Tuned to Catch

Constructed from Salmo's High Density Space-Aged Foam (HDSF), the Hornet resists tooth damage, won't absorb water and delivers the fast-twitch, rod-vibrating action that predators cannot ignore. A welded through-wire design and unbreakable polycarbonate lip ensure season after season of reliable performance. Each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested in Poland before it leaves the factory.
