Salmo Rattlin' Hornet Floating 4.5cm 5.5g Holographic Real Dace

Salmo Rattlin' Hornet — proven crankbait action with extra attraction

The Rattlin' Hornet in Holographic Real Dace combines the legendary HORNET profile with internal rattles, long-cast SICS system, and premium Mustad KVD Triple Grip hooks. This 4.5 cm floating crankbait delivers strong, felt-on-the-rod action and works in both casting and trolling applications across rivers and lakes.

Internal rattle chamber adds acoustic attraction

Built-in rattles produce sound waves that draw predators from greater distances, especially in murky water or low-light conditions. The rattle works in tandem with the lure's tight wobble to trigger strikes when vision alone isn't enough.

Floats back to strike zone after every pause

The floating design lets you pause retrieves to let the lure rise naturally, imitating wounded baitfish. Fish it with irregular retrieves, frequent stops, and light twitches. When trolling, the Rattlin' Hornet runs effectively with or without additional weight, both upstream and downstream.

Choose the right variant

The Rattlin' Hornet Floating series is available in three sizes to match different prey profiles and running depths:

• 3.5 cm / 3–3.1 g (1–1.8 m depth) — small baitfish imitation for perch, trout, and finesse bass fishing in clear water or pressured conditions

• 4.5 cm / 5.5–6 g (1.8–3.4 m depth) — versatile mid-size for walleye, zander, bass, perch, and trout in rivers and medium-depth lakes; Holographic Real Dace belongs to this size class

• 5.5 cm / 10.5 g (2–4 m depth) — heavier profile for pike, larger zander, and deeper trolling setups

• 6.5 cm / 20 g (2.5–5 m depth) — largest option for pike, catfish, and deep-water presentations

Each size is offered in naturalistic (Real Dace, Natural Perch, Clear Ayu), high-visibility (Hot Perch, Yellow Holographic Perch), and attractor (Green Tiger, Ghost Perch) colour families.
