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

Salmo Rattlin' Hornet Floating — Cast farther, fish deeper, catch more

The Clear Hot Gill variant combines a built-in rattle, long-cast SICS system, and Mustad KVD Triple Grip hooks into a floating crankbait that targets walleye, bass, perch, pike, zander, and trout in rivers and lakes alike.

Built-in rattle triggers aggressive strikes

Internal rattles emit a distinct sound that predators home in on, even in murky water or low-light conditions. The strong wobbling action transmits clearly to your rod tip, so you always know the lure is working.

SICS long-cast system puts you on fish faster

The internal weight-transfer system launches this 6 g crankbait well beyond ordinary plugs, letting you cover more water per cast. Dive depth of 1.8–3.4 m makes it ideal for mid-water columns and drop-offs.
