Hornet Series
The Salmo Hornet Series features a line of lures designed to attract and catch bass and walleye. The line of lures was so popular, they led to a shortage in 2006 in the United States. The line of lures earned the North American Fishing Club's Member Tested and Recommended Seal of Approval. Two sets of three-pronged barbed hooks are attached under a small minnow-shaped lure. Each lure is handmade and goes through three months of production processes. Hornets are available in sinking or floating varieties.
Zipper, Slider and Fatso
Besides sounding like the name of a new comedy troupe, the Zipper, Slider and Fatso line of lures come highly regarded by the North American Fishing Club. The lures are crank-bait style lures, each hand made in Poland. These lures are designed for bass, stripers, pike and muskie. Three-pronged hooked bards are under the lure and off the tail of these series. Sinker or floating varieties are available.
Jack and Turbo Jack Series
Salmo makes the Jack and Turbo Jack line of lures for catching pike and muskies. These lures are long, narrow and designed to imitate the looks of small feeder minnows and pike fry. Three-pronged barbed hooks are under the lure and off the tails for jerk-bait style action. Like most Salmo lures, each Jack and Turbo Jack is hand made in Poland. Sinking and floating varieties are available.
