Salmo Squarebill Crankbait 5cm Floating Powder Blue

Salmo Squarebill Crankbait 5cm Floating – Precision Structure Fishing in Powder Blue

The Salmo Squarebill is a compact 5cm floating crankbait built for targeting perch and pike-perch (zander) around cover and structure. The Powder Blue colour offers a subtle, shad-inspired profile that works well in clear to lightly stained water.

Square Bill That Deflects, Not Snags

The robust polycarbonate square bill does more than set the running depth — it deflects off rocks, wood, and other underwater obstacles, triggering reaction strikes from predators holding tight to cover. This bill shape significantly reduces hang-ups, letting you fish confidently through areas other lures can't reach.

Dense Hard Foam Body with Balanced Inner Weights

Unlike traditional balsa, the dense hard foam construction offers comparable buoyancy while delivering far greater durability against aggressive strikes and repeated contact with structure. Precisely calibrated internal weights ensure a stable, long-distance cast and accurate presentation — critical when dropping a lure into a tight spot around dock pilings or submerged timber.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same 5cm floating action and square bill design. Colour selection can make a real difference depending on water clarity, light conditions, and target species.

• Powder Blue — subtle, translucent profile; effective in clear water for perch and zander

• Green Tiger — natural green-and-black contrast; perch in weedy, coloured water

• Sexy Shad — versatile baitfish pattern; all-round choice for mixed predator sessions

• Demon Craw — crayfish-inspired; useful when fish are feeding on bottom-dwelling prey

• Hot Perch — high-contrast perch pattern; low-light conditions and stained water

• Holo Grey Shad — holographic shad finish; bright conditions, open or clear water

• Charteuse Shad — high-visibility colour; murky water or overcast days
