Imago Lures Hornet 3.5F is a hand-crafted, highly realistic hornet imitation designed for targeting fish feeding just below the surface. This surface lure stands out with its natural presentation and precise control, especially in demanding river conditions.
When retrieved slowly, the lure works on the surface, creating a subtle wave and delicate vibrations that effectively trigger cautious fish. With faster retrieves or light twitching, it dives just below the surface down to approximately 10 cm, allowing you to cover shallow runs, riffles and areas with varying current.
Thanks to its well-balanced weight-to-size ratio, the Hornet 3.5F performs exceptionally well when drifting naturally with the current. It imitates an insect carried by the flow, making it highly effective during summer fishing for chub, ide and trout in clear rivers.
This model is primarily designed for chub, ide and trout, but it can also successfully attract perch, asp and other fish feeding near the surface. It is a versatile lure for situations where fish respond best to natural, insect-like presentations.
