Salmo Executor Shallow Runner 5cm 5g Floating Holographic Golden Back

Salmo Executor Shallow Runner 5cm — Precision shallow-water crankbait for perch and trout

The Executor Shallow Runner 5cm in Holographic Golden Back delivers proven baitfish action in a compact package. With its flawless tail-side wobble and traditional shape, this floating crankbait excels in shallow zones where perch, trout, and chub hunt.

Shallow-water precision from 0.6 to 1.2 metres

The polycarbonate lip and balanced 5 g body keep the Executor tracking steadily through the productive 0.6–1.2 m depth band. Cast into nearshore structures, weed edges, or over shallow bars and retrieve at a steady pace to trigger strikes from ambush predators.

Salmo durability and hand-tuned performance

Built from Salmo High Density Space-Aged Foam (HDSF) with thru-wire construction welded at both ends, the Executor withstands repeated strikes and hard snags. Every lure is individually hand-tuned and tank-tested in Poland, and Rasco split rings made in the USA ensure reliable hooksets. Salmo backs each Executor with a lifetime warranty.

Choose the right variant

The Executor Shallow Runner family spans four sizes and multiple colour options to match hatch and water clarity. Select your model based on target species, depth, and forage:

• 5 cm / 5 g (current model) — perch, trout, chub in streams, canals, and shallow lakes; runs 0.6–1.2 m

• 7 cm / 8 g — larger perch, trout, asp, zander in rivers and medium-depth zones; runs 1–2 m

• 9 cm / 14.5 g — pike, zander, bass in open water and mid-depth structures; runs 1.5–3 m

• 12 cm / 33 g — pike, large zander, catfish along drop-offs and deep weed edges; runs 2.5–5 m

Colours include natural patterns (Holographic Golden Back, Natural Perch, Holo Shiner, Real Hot Perch), high-contrast options (Olive Bleak, Black Shadow), and attractor finishes (Red Wake) to suit clear to stained water.
