Salmo Squarebill Crankbait 5cm Floating Chartreuse Shad

Salmo Squarebill Crankbait 5cm Floating — Precision Coverage Around Cover

The Salmo Squarebill is a compact 5cm floating crankbait built to work hard structure and snag-prone areas without constantly hanging up — a reliable choice for targeting perch and pike-perch in rivers, canals, and stillwaters.

Square Bill That Deflects, Not Snags

The robust polycarbonate square bill is the defining feature of this lure. Where a rounded lip would dig in and catch, the flat, angled face deflects off rocks, submerged wood, and weed edges, allowing you to fish tight to cover with confidence. The buoyancy of the hard foam body means the lure floats up and away when you pause, giving you another natural escape route from snags.

Balanced Weights for Distance and Accuracy

Despite its compact 5cm frame, the internally balanced weighting system enables long, accurate casts — essential when fish are holding along a distant reedline or beneath an overhanging bank. The dense hard foam construction offers the buoyancy characteristics of balsa while delivering far greater durability through repeated impacts and fish encounters. Two sharp, strong treble hooks ensure a reliable hookset even from aggressive, short-striking predators.
