Product description
This square bill crankbait is built for anglers who want to fish shallow cover without hanging up every other cast. The rounded lip lets it deflect off rocks, laydowns, and stumps instead of digging in, keeping the bait moving and the hooks clean. The tight wobbling action mimics a fleeing baitfish and holds up at steady and fast retrieve speeds alike.
At 65mm and 16.5g it casts easily on medium spinning or baitcasting gear and runs true right out of the box. It floats at rest, so you can pause it over a stump or laydown and let it rise before starting the retrieve again. Good choice for largemouth working shallow flats, riprap, and wood cover in spring and fall.
How to fish it
- Cast past the target cover such as a stump, laydown, or riprap bank
- Reel with a steady to moderate retrieve so the bill makes contact with cover
- Let the bait deflect off structure and pause briefly before continuing the retrieve
- Speed up the retrieve in warmer water or slow it down and add pauses when bass are less active
Frequently asked
It measures 65mm (about 2.5 inches) and weighs 16.5g, a versatile size for both largemouth and smallmouth bass.
Use natural shad or baitfish patterns in clear water and switch to brighter or higher contrast colors in stained or murky water so bass can spot the bait more easily.
A medium action rod with some tip flex paired with 10 to 14 lb fluorocarbon or monofilament helps absorb strikes and keeps the bait running at the right depth.
Square bills excel in spring and fall when bass move shallow to feed around wood, rock, and grass in water depths of about 2 to 5 feet.
