Salmo Executor Shallow Runner 5cm 5g Real Hot Perch Floating

Salmo Executor Shallow Runner 5cm — Shallow-water precision in pocket size

The Executor Shallow Runner 5cm in Real Hot Perch delivers classic baitfish action and proven results in a compact floating crankbait. At just 5g, this lure excels in shallow zones where perch, trout, and other predators hunt.

Proven shallow-water design

With a running depth of 0.6–1.2m, the 5cm Shallow Runner explores the upper water column with a tight, tail-side wobble that triggers strikes. The polycarbonate lip creates stable action on steady retrieves and erratic deflections off structure. Salmo's High Density Space-Aged Foam (HDSF) body resists impacts while the thru-wire construction—welded at the ends—ensures durability. Each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested before leaving the factory in Poland.

Real Hot Perch: natural aggression trigger

The Real Hot Perch finish combines lifelike detail with high-visibility contrast, making it effective in both clear and stained water. The colour pattern imitates a juvenile perch—a primary forage species for larger predators—and works across seasons and conditions. Split rings from Rasco (USA) complete the hardware package.

Choose the right variant

The Executor Shallow Runner family offers four sizes and multiple colour patterns for different depths and prey profiles:

• 5cm (5g, 0.6–1.2m) — ultra-light setups, shallow bays, trout streams, small perch and chub

• 7cm (8g, 1–2m) — medium-light spinning, versatile depth range, perch and pike in shallow zones

• 9cm (14.5g, 1.5–3m) — medium spinning, moderate depths, larger perch and pike

• 12cm (33g, 2.5–5m) — medium-heavy setups, deeper structure, pike and big perch

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