Salmo’s Hornet crankbaits ($9) have quick-diving ability and aggressive action which coax fish to bite. These high-density foam baits produce an action that's attractive to a multitude of species and are available in a floating, sinking, or deep-diving model and in a variety of sizes and effective patterns.

Salmo’s baits are all the rage in Northern Minnesota and parts of Canada. And their popularity continues to grow in Wisconsin. Fishing guides and pro anglers tell me that their color patterns and wobble action is simply deadly, especially on walleye and pike. www.salmofishing.com; (952) 224.3649
