SALMO Hornet 5cm is a compact river crankbait that has been part of the brand’s offer since 1995. Its small body, aggressive action and fast dive make it a highly effective lure for flowing waters as well as medium-sized reservoirs.
The pronounced vibration and tight, energetic wobbling action trigger trout, chub, ide and perch even in stronger current. Thanks to its stability, the Hornet 5cm maintains proper balance at higher retrieve speeds, while the strong side-to-side vibration is clearly transmitted through the line and rod, giving the angler full control over the lure.
The construction is based on a single-piece wire-through frame for maximum durability when fighting larger fish. The polycarbonate lip ensures quick descent and stable action in current. Each lure is individually tank-tested and equipped with high-quality VMC Black Nickel treble hooks for secure hooksets and long-lasting performance.
The floating version is ideal for shallower river sections and situations where the lure needs to pause or rise above underwater obstacles. The sinking version allows faster acce...

Each lure is individually tank-tested and equipped with high-quality VMC Black Nickel treble hooks for secure hooksets and long-lasting performance.
The floating version is ideal for shallower river sections and situations where the lure needs to pause or rise above underwater obstacles. The sinking version allows faster access to deeper runs and effective presentation close to the bottom. Both versions are designed for active fishing in current and precise control of the working depth.
SALMO Hornet 5cm is a proven choice for early spring conditions, higher water levels and periods when predatory fish respond best to a distinct, aggressive crankbait action.

Salmo
Made in Poland. The founder of the Salmo company and the main designer of the lures is Mr. Piotr Piskorski. Salmo - Performance Fishing Lures. You only have to fish with SALMO lures once to become convinced of how special they are. They really are not just more imitations made to satisfy the whims of collector-anglers - these lures are unique for several reasons. There is no other lure manufacturer in the world who, as well as drawing upon his skill and fishing passion, has invested in professional knowledge of fish biology. SALMO lures therefore have built-in secrets – a powerful combination coming from the knowledge and experience of designers (graduate fish biologists) and the demanding SALMO field testers in Europe and overseas. The magic of these secrets is confirmed every day by the messages of thanks coming in from many countries accompanied by pictures of trophy fish caught on our lures and stories about fantastic fishing adventures.
