Salmo Rattlin' Hornet Floating 3.5cm 3.1g Ghost Perch

Salmo Rattlin' Hornet Floating — compact crankbait with legendary action

The Salmo Rattlin' Hornet Floating 3.5cm Ghost Perch combines the proven effectiveness of the classic Hornet with modern features: built-in rattle, SICS long-cast system, and premium Mustad KVD Triple Grip hooks. At just 3.1 g and 3.5 cm, this floating crankbait delivers aggressive action that you feel on the rod tip.

Perfect for targeting perch, trout, and small predators

The compact 3.5 cm profile makes this crankbait ideal for pressured waters and finicky fish. The Ghost Perch pattern imitates natural prey with translucent realism. Internal rattles attract fish from greater distances, while the floating design lets you work shallow zones (1–1.8 m) with precise control. Pause the retrieve and the lure rises enticingly — triggering reaction strikes.

Versatile retrieve and rigging options

Fish the Rattlin' Hornet with irregular retrieves, frequent pauses, and light twitches when casting. It excels both with and against the current. For trolling, it works effectively with or without additional weight. The SICS weight-transfer system ensures excellent casting distance despite the small size, while Ultrasonic Body Welding (UBW) guarantees a watertight, durable construction. Each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested in Poland.
