Salmo Executor Shallow Runner 7cm 8g Real Hot Perch Floating

Salmo Executor Shallow Runner 7cm 8g — Proven crankbait for versatile shallow water hunting

The Executor Shallow Runner in 7cm delivers the classic baitfish profile and tail-side wobble that have made it a Salmo staple since 2004. Hand-tuned and tank-tested in Poland, this floating crankbait pairs a shatter-resistant foam body with True Image Technology finishes to trigger strikes from perch, bass, and pike in shallow to mid-depth zones.

Legendary action and bombproof construction

Built around Salmo's High Density Space-Aged Foam (HDSF) core, the Executor shrugs off teeth and rocks while maintaining perfect buoyancy. A thru-wire construction welded at both ends and a polycarbonate lip ensure the lure tracks true retrieve after retrieve, and every piece is individually tuned before it leaves the factory.

Real Hot Perch pattern for perch-rich waters

The Real Hot Perch finish blends natural barring with high-contrast flanks to imitate juvenile perch—a prime forage for pike, zander, and big perch. Whether you're casting weed edges or cranking rocky points, this color excels when predators are keyed in on perch fry.

Choose the right variant

The Executor Shallow Runner family spans four sizes and multiple color options to match hatch and running depth. Pick your model based on target depth, prey profile, and predator size:
