Salmo Hornet Sinking 6cm Holographic Grey Shiner

Salmo Hornet Sinking 6cm — The legendary walleye crankbait that catches everything

Recognized by In-Fisherman Magazine as one of the greatest walleye crankbaits of all time, the Salmo Hornet Sinking delivers a fast-twitch, rod-vibrating action that freshwater predators simply cannot resist. Hand-crafted in Poland and tank-tested to perfection, each lure meets exacting standards right out of the box.

Tooth-proof construction that never stops working

Built from proprietary high-density space-aged foam with similar gravity to balsa wood, the Hornet resists pike teeth, absorbs zero water, and maintains its action season after season. The welded single through-wire design ensures hooks never tear away, while the unbreakable polycarbonate lip guarantees years of reliable performance. Backed by Salmo's Lifetime Warranty.

Irresistible action across all freshwater species

The Hornet's tight wobble and vibration trigger strikes from walleye, perch, zander, trout, and pike in rivers, lakes, and reservoirs alike. The sinking version lets you count down to precise depths, work structure closely, or slow-roll through the strike zone. Effective on straight retrieves, stop-and-go cadences, and bottom-contact presentations.
