Hunter 1.5 Squarebill

Crash Cover. Hunt Hard.

The GrandeBass Hunter 1.5 Squarebill is a high-buoyancy crankbait engineered for grinding through wood, rock, and dock pilings. Its square-cut lip and tuned weighting system are designed to deflect off heavy cover, triggering aggressive reaction strikes from shallow-holding bass.

Built with ultrasonic-welded ABS construction and finished in premium paint schemes with lifelike 3D eyes, this bait is ready to fish right out of the box. Designed in Texas, it’s purpose-built for power fishing in tough, snag-filled water.

Key Features

• Squarebill deflection design – Kicks sideways off cover to reduce hang-ups and trigger reaction strikes.
• Wide hunting wobble – Tracks slightly off-center and recovers at medium to high retrieve speeds.
• Ultrasonic-welded ABS body – Durable construction built to withstand repeated impact.
• Premium hardware package – Equipped with #4 black nickel Mustad Triple Grip treble hooks and hardened black nickel split rings.
• High-float buoyancy – Floats quickly on the pause to help avoid snags.
