Description

Much like the balsa wood baits of the 1970’s, the Old School Baits Squarebill delivers handcrafted performance that can’t be replicated through mass production. The brainchild of legendary lure designer Lee Sisson, the Old School Baits Squarebill generates a hard thumping action that can only be achieved with years of experience and an incredible attention-to-detail. Fitted with a durable lexan bill, the Old School Baits Squarebill can be ground through pebbly flats, bumped off of stumps, or burned in open water to elicit powerful strikes. Backed by sticky-sharp VMC trebles, the Old School Baits Squarebill captures all of the details and craftsmanship that make classic balsa wood lures so effective.

Field Notes

A squarebill crankbait is ideal for covering shallow water and deflecting off cover like stumps, rocks, and pebbly flats. It can be burned in open water or retrieved steadily around cover to trigger reaction strikes. The balsa construction and hard thumping action make it a good choice when bass are feeding aggressively.

Pros

  • Handcrafted balsa-style action
  • Squarebill bill helps deflect off cover
  • Equipped with sharp VMC trebles

Cons

  • Balsa-style baits can be more fragile than plastic
  • Best suited to shallow water rather than deep structure
