Salmo Rattlin' Hornet Floating 6.5cm 20g Golden Red Head

Salmo Rattlin' Hornet — Deep-Diving Power for Big Predators

The 6.5 cm, 20 g Golden Red Head variant puts your lure down to 2.5–5 m and sends out loud rattle signals that pull pike, zander, catfish, and big perch from cover. Whether you're casting along drop-offs or trolling structure, this floating crankbait delivers the famous Hornet action with modern tournament-grade components.

Built-In Rattle and Long-Cast System

Internal rattles amplify vibration and sound, triggering strikes in murky water and low-light conditions. The SICS (Salmo Internal Casting System) weight-transfer mechanism loads your rod for longer, more accurate casts—critical when you need to reach distant ambush zones or cover water fast.

Mustad KVD Triple Grip Hooks and High-Impact Construction

Every Rattlin' Hornet ships with Mustad KVD Triple Grip trebles and USA-made Rasco split rings, so hook-ups stay pinned. The ultrasonic-welded High-Impact Plastic body withstands teeth, rocks, and repeated impacts, while each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested in Poland before it leaves the factory.

Choose the Right Variant

Salmo offers the Rattlin' Hornet Floating in three sizes to match your target species and fishing depth:

• 3.5 cm, 3–3.1 g — shallow runner (1–1.8 m) for trout, small perch, and finesse presentations in clear water or pressured fisheries (e.g. Clear Ayu, Natural Perch, Ghost Perch, Golden Red Head, Green Tiger, Holo Red Perch)

• 4.5 cm, 5.5–6 g — mid-depth workhorse (1.8–3.4 m) for perch, walleye, bass, and small pike in rivers and lakes (e.g. Hot Perch, Natural Perch, Holo Red Perch, Golden Red Head, Clear Ayu, Green Tiger, Silver Holographic Shad, Clear Hot Gill, Clear Green Gill, Supernatural Perch, Holographic Real Dace, Yellow Holographic Perch, Ghost Perch)

• 5.5 cm, 10.5 g — versatile all-rounder (2–4 m) for zander, bass, and medium pike in both casting and trolling setups (e.g. Natural Perch, Clear Ayu, Ghost Perch, Golden Red Head, Holo Red Perch, Clear Hot Gill, Clear Green Gill, Yellow Holographic Perch, Green Tiger, Hot Perch, Silver Holographic Shad)

• 6.5 cm, 20 g — deep-diving heavyweight (2.5–5 m) for pike, zander, catfish, and trophy perch when fish hold tight to bottom structure or suspend over deep weed edges; ideal for trolling along channels and casting steep banks (e.g. Golden Red Head, Hot Perch, Natural Perch, Yellow Holographic Perch, Holo Red Perch, Clear Ayu, Clear Hot Gill, Clear Green Gill, Ghost Perch, Silver Holographic Shad, Green Tiger)
