Salmo Hornet 2.5 cm is the smallest model in the new generation of the iconic Hornet series. This compact sinking lure weighs 2.4 g and retains the strong, aggressive action that has made the Hornet so popular with anglers. It is an excellent choice for chub, trout and perch, as well as other predators feeding on small prey.
The Hornet starts working immediately after entering the water and produces pronounced vibrations even at slower retrieve speeds. It remains stable in current, making it suitable for fishing upstream, downstream or across the flow. It is especially effective around runs, current seams, rocks, undercut banks and other areas where predators wait for passing prey.
Its sinking design makes it easier to control the presentation depth and adjust the retrieve to the position of the fish. Salmo Hornet 2.5 cm runs at approximately 0.5–1 m, making it well suited to small rivers and streams as well as light spinning on lakes, canals and reservoirs.
The new Hornet 2.5 cm is fitted with sharp BKK treble hooks. It can be retrieved steadily, worked with changes of speed, held in the current or fished with short pauses to make full use of its lively, high-frequency action.
Salmo Hornet 2.5 cm combines the classic Hornet concept with an ultra-compact profile – a hard-working lure for light and ultralight spinning, particularly effective for river chub and trout as well as perch.
