I was looking at some Salmo lures. Are they worth the money?

Kingfisher, I checked out the Salmo lures and don't believe I would pay that much for ANY bait. While they appear to be well made and probably would produce, so would more conventional lures that are more reasonably priced. I do like to experiment with new or different products so if you decide to try them, it's okay. I once ran acrosss a new lure-at the time- a Poe's 300 Super Cedar wood bait, the firsdt time out I caught back to back 8 pound bass on it, plus 30 others. You just never know?? Good luck, keep posting. Johnnie

I think Salmo is made in Poland. They are very good quality baits and I'd put them right up there with Rapalas....the balsa ones. I have several salmo baits and they are balsa. I prfer wood over plastic because most guys don't throw it. Generally these baits cost about 5 bucks or so.

Thanks guys for the info. I just got a few hornets and sting. I'll let you know how they perform after I fish them this weekend.

MD Good luck, have fun. Let us know how they perform. Johnnie

Just used the hornet crankbait from Salmo. Had great success with it. They seem to have a great wiggle and vibration to get the fish's attention/bite. A++
