Founded in 1991, Salmo is a tackle manufacturer that focuses on producing great quality tackle for predator anglers. They are mainly known for their amazing selection of lures. It is a brand based in Poland that has very high standards, claiming that you only have to fish with a Salmo lure once to be convinced of how special they are. Salmo goes further than lures, by recently branching out to provide the angling community with clothing, chairs and some rods. All these Salmo products are constructed from a powerful combination of coming from the knowledge and experience of designers (graduate fish biologists) and the demanding Salmo field testers in Europe and overseas.
Salmo has certainly taken strides to deliver the perfect hard bait experience with its Hornet range of rods specifically designed to work with Salmo lures. The range features five different rod models, covering a range of weights and applications, including rods specifics fitting to the famous Salmo hornet and slider lures.
The Hornet Pro Light features rod action that is specifically designed to work with the Salmo Hornet lures, these are one of Salmo’s best-selling lures, so it makes sense to have a rod that works perfectly with the lure, doubling your chances of a bite. The rod is great for any capability whether you have just started predator fishing, or you are a professional.
The rod features high-quality K guides, so you do not need to worry about your line snapping because of a rough edge of the guide, along with a Fuji reel seat that strongly supports your reel selection.
The rod is made from two sections of 30T carbon blanks, making it incredibly strong when battling a pike. The light rod of the hornet pro range is 240cm in length, with 5-20g casting weight so it is perfectly designed for the lighter range of Salmo Hornets and Rattlin’ Hornets alongside our other small crankbaits.
Salmo introduced the light pro rod as they stress it is absolutely vital that you use the correct tackle for the Hornet lure. This light and sensitive rod should use tiny snaps and swivels, and the finest line along with the hornet lure so that is can deliver the best performance by the bank.
This rod not only lets you get more from your smaller hard baits but could easily be used for casting larger lures from both bank and boat. Along with a highly-attractive finish of matt black, this rod keeps you hidden from the predators whilst outshining other anglers with helping you catch plenty.
The Salmo motto is "limit your catch – don't catch your limit", which you can certainly achieve with the Hornet Pro rod range.
