Description

The balsa wood batis of the 1970's are so desirable that they have been elevated to collector status. The Old School Baits Squarebill 2 was designed by legendary lure designer Lee Sisson to meet those needs. Each bait displays exacting attention to detail and a lively hunting action unmatched by plastic baits. The Squarebill 2 is 2.5" long and 1/2 oz. Premium paint jobs, lexan bills, and VMC hooks help to separate this bait from all others.

Field Notes

A squarebill crankbait is built to deflect off cover and trigger reaction strikes. It’s a strong choice around shallow wood, rock, and docks where a hunting wobble can make bass commit quickly. Best fished with a steady retrieve and occasional pauses or deflections.

Pros

  • Classic balsa squarebill hunting action
  • Good deflection around cover
  • Compact 2.5" profile with premium hardware

Cons

  • Limited to shallow-running applications
  • Balsa construction can be more delicate than plastic
