60mm Squarebill Crankbait - Floating Rattling Bass Lure
60mm Squarebill Crankbait - Floating Rattling Bass Lure
This 60mm squarebill crankbait is built for working shallow cover without hanging up. The square bill design lets it deflect off rock, wood, and stumps instead of digging in, which keeps you fishing instead of retying. A tight wobbling action paired with an internal rattle chamber calls fish in from a distance and triggers strikes even in stained water.
At 9.4g it casts easily on standard bass gear and holds a natural swimming posture at rest thanks to its floating build. The scale pattern and honeycomb finish mimic baitfish bass key on in shallow flats, laydowns, and riprap. It works well for largemouth around cover and smallmouth on rocky banks, especially during pre-spawn and summer feeding windows.

How to fish it
- Cast past cover like laydowns, rock, or dock pilings and reel steadily to make contact.
- Let the bill deflect off structure, then pause briefly before continuing the retrieve.
- Use a stop-and-go retrieve in cooler water to trigger reaction strikes.
- Speed up the retrieve in warmer water to cover more shallow ground quickly.
Frequently asked
It is sized for typical largemouth and smallmouth in the 1 to 5 pound range but will draw strikes from larger fish holding shallow.
Choose the natural scale pattern shown here for clear water and a bolder or darker pattern for stained or off-color conditions.
A medium power rod with a moderate action tip and 10 to 14 lb fluorocarbon or mono works well to keep the bait swimming naturally.
It performs best in spring pre-spawn and summer when bass are holding tight to shallow cover and rocky banks.
