Unleash one of the most deadly underwater acoustics in custom lure making with our Salmo Rattlin' Hornet 5.5 style unpainted crankbait blank. Engineered to replicate the iconic 55mm (2.15") profile, this high-action blank combines aggressive, high-frequency wobbling with a specialized internal rattling system—making it an absolute must-have for targeting aggressive Walleye, Bass, and Trout.
The "High-Frequency Thump" Advantage: What makes the Rattlin' Hornet 5.5 profile legendary is its extreme displacement-to-size ratio. Designed with a steep-angled diving bill and high-buoyancy body dynamics, it starts vibrating the millisecond it hits the water. It cuts through current with an intense, high-frequency tight wobble that sends strong lateral vibrations through the water column, calling hungry predators out of deep cover even in heavily stained conditions.
Key Product Features:
Internal Long-Cast & Rattle Chamber: Equipped with an internal mass-transfer rattle system that allows for bullet-like casts into strong winds and emits a distinct acoustic signature on the retrieve.
Rapid Diving Depth: Reaches its working depth of 6 to 10 feet on a standard cast (and dives 15+ feet when trolled on long fluorocarbon or lead-core lines).
Deflection-Ready Design: Bounces effortlessly off submerged boulders, gravel humps, and tree stumps, deflecting away cleanly to provoke impulse reaction strikes.
premium Heavy-Duty ABS Canvas: Molded from crystal-clear, seam-free ABS resin. Built to withstand crushing strikes from toothy predators while serving as an exceptional canvas for airbrushing, foil wrapping, and UV clear coats.
Professional Usage Scenarios:
Open-Water Walleye Trolling Spreads: A certified staple across Lake Erie, Lake Michigan, and northern river channels. Excellent for trolling along deep weed edges, basin flats, and drop-offs.
Cranking Deep Gravel Banks & Ledges: Cast along rocky points, rip-rap dams, and clay ledges. Grind the bill into hard substrates to kick up silt and mimic a panicked crawfish or baitfish.
River & Stream Steelhead Operations: Cast across heavy river currents and let the intense thumping action hold the lure right in the strike seam where holding Steelhead ambush prey.
Target Species: Specially proven for Walleye, Smallmouth & Largemouth Bass, Trophy Trout, Steelhead, Perch, and Pike.

The lures came in with mostly all bent wings had to bend them back into shape and they work ok but shouldn’t have to do so out of the package asked there customer service to replace the wings but haven’t gotten a response since I sent pictures showing the bent wings.
