Salmo Rattlin' Hornet Floating 4.5cm 6g Clear Green Gill

Salmo Rattlin' Hornet Floating — The legendary crankbait with built-in sound

The Rattlin' Hornet combines the proven action of the classic Salmo Hornet with internal rattles, long-cast SICS system, and premium Mustad KVD Triple Grip hooks. Developed with top American anglers, this 4.5 cm floating crankbait delivers strong vibrations you can feel on the rod tip and acoustic attraction predators can't ignore.

Universal appeal for all predatory species

Whether you're targeting perch, zander, bass, trout, or pike, the Rattlin' Hornet adapts to your fishing style. Cast it in lakes and rivers or troll it with or without additional weight. The internal rattle chamber creates sound waves that trigger strikes even in murky water or low-light conditions. Its floating action lets you work it over weed beds and structure with confidence.

Versatile retrieve options and depth control

Fish it with irregular retrieves, frequent pauses, and light twitches to imitate wounded baitfish. The Rattlin' Hornet 4.5 cm dives to 1.8–3.4 m and works equally well retrieved with or against the current. During trolling, it maintains stable action at varying speeds. The Clear Green Gill colour pattern mimics sunfish and bluegill—prime forage for larger predators in many waters.

Choose the right variant

The Rattlin' Hornet floating series offers three sizes to match your target species and fishing conditions:

• 3.5 cm / 3–3.1 g / 1–1.8 m depth — ultra-light rods, small streams, pressured trout, perch, and chub in clear water

• 5.5 cm / 10.5 g / 2–4 m depth — deeper zones, stronger current, larger perch, zander, and pike

• 6.5 cm / 20 g / 2.5–5 m depth — trolling setups, deep structure, pike, zander, wels catfish, and trophy trout
