Hunthouse Squarebill Floating Crankbait for Bass
Hunthouse Squarebill Floating Crankbait for Bass
This squarebill crankbait is built for bouncing off cover without hanging up. The compact 65mm body and 16.5g weight give it a tight, wide wobble that mimics fleeing baitfish, while the square lip lets it deflect cleanly off rocks, stumps, and laydowns instead of digging in and snagging.
It runs shallow and floats at rest, making it a solid choice for skipping under docks or working riprap and grass edges where largemouth and pike hold tight to structure. The chartreuse-and-black back pattern shows up well in stained water, and the reflective belly adds flash on the retrieve. Good pick for spring and summer shallow-cover fishing.

How to fish it
- Cast tight to cover like laydowns, stumps, or rock piles and let the bait float up before starting your retrieve.
- Reel steadily so the square lip contacts structure, then pause briefly after each deflection to trigger reaction strikes.
- Vary retrieve speed between slow rolls and quick bursts to match bass activity and water temperature.
- Fish parallel to riprap banks or grass lines in spring and early summer when bass sit shallow near cover.
Frequently asked
12-17 lb fluorocarbon or monofilament on a medium action rod handles this bait well and gives it the right amount of stretch to keep fish pinned on treble hooks.
It is most effective in stained or murky water where the bright color and flash stand out, but it can still draw strikes in clearer conditions during low light.
A 6'6" to 7' medium action crankbait rod with a moderate tip and a reel in the 6.3:1 to 7.1:1 gear ratio range gives good control without ripping the bait away from fish.
It is well suited to largemouth bass and pike in spring through early summer when fish are holding shallow near stumps, rock, and grass edges.
