Salmo Freediver Super Deep Runner 9cm 12.2m 24.8g Hot Perch

Salmo Freediver Super Deep Runner 9cm – Reaches depths traditional crankbaits can't

The Salmo Freediver Super Deep Runner is a hand-crafted crankbait engineered to dive over 12 metres, putting your lure in the strike zone where big predators hunt. Each lure is individually tank-tested and tuned in Poland to ensure perfect balance and action on every cast or troll.

Unmatched diving depth for trophy fish

With a running depth of 12.2 metres, the Freediver reaches water columns that standard crankbaits simply cannot access. The elongated polycarbonate lip drives the lure down aggressively while maintaining stable swimming action, letting you target suspended walleye, pike, zander, and other deep-holding species. Dual glass bead rattle chambers call in predators from a distance, even in murky or stained water.

Built for extreme trolling and long-distance casting

The Salmo Infinity Cast System (SICS) enables exceptionally long casts, allowing you to cover water efficiently when fishing from shore or boat. Constructed from high-impact plastic with premium VMC hooks and Rasco split rings, the Freediver is rated to 66 pounds and handles the punishment of repeated strikes and heavy trolling pressure. The unbreakable polycarbonate lip ensures consistent action trip after trip.

Choose the right variant

The Freediver Super Deep Runner is available in multiple sizes and colour patterns to match forage and water conditions:

• 7cm, 8g – Ideal for smaller predators, finesse presentations, and moderate trolling speeds; great for perch, trout, and walleye in clear water

• 9cm, 24.8g (current model) – Versatile size for pike, walleye, zander, and musky; excellent for both trolling and casting in lakes and reservoirs; Hot Perch colour mimics juvenile perch in natural and stained water

• 12cm, 24.5–24.8g – Maximum profile for trophy pike, musky, and large zander; best for trolling deep structure, drop-offs, and river channels

Colour options include natural patterns (Natural Perch, Hot Perch), bright attractors (Green Tiger, Silver Blue), and high-contrast designs (Holographic Red Head, Gold Black Back) to match hatch or trigger reaction strikes.
