Salmo Rattlin' Hornet Floating 4.5cm 6g Hot Perch

Salmo Rattlin' Hornet Floating — Hot Perch — Proven dive-depth crankbait with built-in rattle

The Salmo Rattlin' Hornet Floating in Hot Perch combines the legendary Hornet action with internal rattles, long-cast SICS system, and premium Mustad KVD Triple Grip hooks for a versatile, multipurpose crankbait targeting perch, pike, zander, bass, trout, and walleye.

Aggressive action and acoustic attraction

The strong wobbling action is easily felt at the rod tip, while the internal rattle chamber adds acoustic attraction that triggers strikes even in murky water or low-light conditions. The floating design lets you pause the lure mid-retrieve, causing it to rise enticingly—ideal for working over weed beds or triggering following predators.

Built for versatility—casting and trolling

Whether you're casting along structure or trolling river currents and lake drop-offs, the Rattlin' Hornet performs reliably. Fish it with an irregular retrieve and frequent pauses, add light twitches to provoke reaction strikes, or troll it with or without additional weight to cover water efficiently and locate active fish.
