Salmo | Rattlin Hornet | Shallow Floating

Salmo Rattlin’ Hornet Shallow is the shallow-running version of Salmo’s iconic Hornet crankbait series. It’s a floating shallow-diving crankbait designed for targeting predatory fish in the upper water column and over shallow structures such as rocks, weed beds, riffles, shoreline shelves, and sandbars.

Best For

Ideal for perch, chub, asp, zander, pike, and other predators feeding in shallow water. Retrieve steadily, with pauses, or with subtle rod twitches while keeping the lure in the strike zone. It tracks well in current and remains stable even on faster retrieves.

A compact, versatile, and highly effective shallow-water weapon that delivers the classic Hornet action with the added appeal of a rattle and superior casting performance.
