Salmo Executor Shallow Runner 9cm 14.5g Real Hot Perch Floating

Salmo Executor Shallow Runner 9cm — Versatile Crankbait for Mid-Depth Predators

The Executor Shallow Runner 9cm in Real Hot Perch delivers proven fish-catching action in a compact, durable package. This floating crankbait combines Salmo's signature tail-side wobble with a realistic baitfish profile that triggers strikes from pike, perch, and zander in shallow to mid-depth zones.

Built to Last, Tuned to Perform

Crafted from Salmo High Density Space-Aged Foam (HDSF) with thru-wire construction welded at the ends, this crankbait withstands aggressive hits and repeated contact with structure. Each lure is individually hand-tuned and tank-tested in Poland to ensure perfect swimming action straight from the box. The polycarbonate lip drives the characteristic wobble while protecting the nose during bottom contact.

Natural Action in the Strike Zone

The 9cm size runs at 1.5–3m depth, making it ideal for covering weed edges, submerged bars, and drop-offs where predators ambush prey. The floating design lets you pause the retrieve to trigger following fish, while the Real Hot Perch pattern mimics a natural forage species. USA-made split rings and premium hardware complete a crankbait that's been a Salmo staple since 2004.
