Bill Lewis SB-57 3/8 oz Squarebill Crankbait – Lavender Shad | MDJ Series

Overview

Designed and tested by Bass Pro Tour angler Mark Daniels Jr., the Bill Lewis SB-57 Squarebill is built to perform in tight, sun‑drenched shallow water. Its honeycomb wall construction uses a material that’s 25% thinner yet surprisingly strong, delivering a precise, fluttery action that can provoke reaction strikes as it nips along beneath overhangs and around cover.

Smart design for real‑world fishing

At 2.25 inches in length and 3/8 oz, this lure is tuned for cranking through shallow flats and pockets. The circuit-board lip is constructed to be both tough and highly sensitive, translating contact with cover into responsive deflections that draw curious bass in for a closer look.

• Fast wobble with a high‑activity profile that penetrates shallow cover.
• Dives 3–6 feet with a slow rise on the pause, inviting follow‑up bites.

Durable hardware for confident hookups

Stocked with Mustad Triple Grip hooks, the SB-57 is built for strong retention during aggressive strikes. The hooks are sized to maximize holding power without tangling, even when fished around wood, rock, or flooded vegetation.

• Strong, reliable triple‑grip hooks to help secure bass on the retrieve.
• Long‑lasting construction with a rugged lip for repeated contact with cover.

Colors and on‑water versatility

Available in custom hand‑painted colors, with Lavender Shad included, the SB‑57 pairs a lifelike profile with high visibility in stained and clear water. Use it as a versatile shallow‑water lure for a wide range of bass habitats.

Whether you’re working a slow retrieve along a treeline or bump‑and‑bounce through sparse cover, the SB‑57’s design supports a variety of shallow‑water tactics. It’s a cost‑conscious option that still delivers a premium feel on the rod.
