Salmo Rattlin' Hornet Floating 5.5cm 10.5g Ghost Perch

Salmo Rattlin' Hornet — Built-in rattle and Mustad hooks for versatile predator fishing

The Salmo Rattlin' Hornet Floating in Ghost Perch combines the legendary Hornet action with built-in rattles, a long-cast SICS system, and premium Mustad KVD Triple Grip hooks. Whether you cast in rivers or troll on lakes, this 5.5 cm crankbait delivers strong, felt-on-the-rod action that triggers strikes from walleye, bass, trout, pike, perch, zander, and catfish.

Universal crankbait for casting and trolling

The Rattlin' Hornet works with and against the current, in still water and flowing rivers. Fish it with an irregular retrieve, frequent pauses, and light twitches. When trolling, it performs equally well with or without additional weight, diving to 2–4 m and staying in the strike zone longer.

Internal rattle and bomb-proof construction

The built-in rattle chamber calls fish from a distance, while High-Impact Plastic (HIP) construction and Ultrasonic Body Welding (UBW) ensure durability. Each lure is individually hand-tuned and tank-tested in Poland. Mustad KVD hooks and Rasco split rings (made in USA) guarantee solid hooksets and reliable performance over countless casts.

Choose the right variant

The Rattlin' Hornet Floating is available in three sizes to match your target species and fishing conditions:

• 3.5 cm / 3.1 g (running depth 1–1.8 m) — ultralight setups, small rivers, trout, perch, and finicky bass

• 4.5 cm / 6 g (running depth 1.8–3.4 m) — all-round choice for perch, bass, walleye, and smaller pike in shallow to medium depths

• 5.5 cm / 10.5 g (running depth 2–4 m) — medium predators including pike, walleye, zander, and bass in deeper water or when casting distance matters; Ghost Perch in this size offers a subtle, natural flash

• 6.5 cm / 20 g (running depth 2.5–5 m) — larger pike, zander, catfish, and deep-water trolling; maximum casting distance and diving depth
