Minneapolis, MN; It has been a tough challenge: Find a way to enhance the extremely popular
Salmo Hornet lure lineup and offer a new Hornet with the unique twist. The challenge has been
met with the creation of the Rattlin’ Hornet 4.5. Developed and manufactured in Europe, Salmo
lures has been building foam body lures for over 20 years. The introduction of the Rattlin’
Hornet 4.5 marks the beginning of a new generation of manufacturing capabilities for Poland
based Salmo, who is committed to making only the highest quality lures in the world, and make
them in Europe.

The Rattlin’ Hornet 4.5 is a blend of features never before put into one small lure, after all, most
people think small lures are for small fish…. WRONG… When designed properly, the opposite
is true, as evidence from the success of the classic Salmo Hornet. The Rattlin’ Hornet 4.5
boasts features like a unbreakable polycarbonate lip, oval split ring, KVD Elite Triple Grip hooks,
glass bead rattle chamber and if that was not enough, the Rattlin’ Hornet even has a brass,
long-cast weight shifting system to make it easier to cast such a small lure. Just under 3 inches
in total length, this floating/diving lure can reach a maximum depth of 6 feet while casting and 12
feet while trolling.

“We believe at Salmo, we have intimate knowledge of how to make the best crankbaits in the
world. Our factory is dedicated 100% to quality in everything we do. We have never been
about high volume lure production like China, but rather high performance. You would be
shocked with the number of lures we develop that simply are not good enough for the Salmo
name.” Stated Peter Piskorski, owner of Salmo Lures Poland. “We build lures for extreme
fishing conditions and while injection molding is somewhat new to Salmo, nothing leaves our
factories unless it is perfect, customers expect nothing but the best from Salmo.”

All Salmo lures sold in the USA are covered with a Lifetime Performance Guarantee that simply
states if for any reason your Salmo breaks or fails to run true, (except for the hooks of course)
return it to Salmo–USA for a free replacement. No other lure company in the world can boast
such a claim, but with Salmo, Performance Fishing Lures, each lure is testament to the Union
craftsmanship that goes into make every lure.
