Salmo Freediver Super Deep Runner 12cm 12.2m 24.5g Hot Perch

Salmo Freediver Super Deep Runner 12cm — reach trophy fish over 12 metres down

The Salmo Freediver in Hot Perch is the deepest-diving crankbait on the market, hand-crafted in Poland to reach depths traditional lures simply cannot touch. Individually tank-tested and tuned, it brings predators up from the abyss with dual glass bead rattles and a unique elongated polycarbonate lip.

Super deep runner engineered for extreme depth

Capable of diving beyond 12 metres while trolling, the Freediver opens up an entirely new strike zone. Its High-Impact Plastic body and unbreakable polycarbonate lip deliver consistent action at depth, while the Salmo Infinity Cast System (SICS) enables long casts when you need to cover water as a deep-running crankbait. With a tear rating of 30 kg, this lure handles big pike, zander, and lake trout without flinching.

Hand-tuned balance and dual rattle chambers

Every Freediver is individually hand-tuned and tank-tested to ensure perfect balance straight out of the box. Dual internal glass bead rattle chambers call in predators from a distance, while premium VMC hooks and Rasco split rings provide rock-solid hooksets. The 3D eyes and detailed Hot Perch finish trigger strikes in both clear and stained water.
