KVD 1.5's for me.  I also like Bandit cranks.  Haven't fished their squarebills yet but the 200 series is a good shallow crank.  Ive caught fish on all sorts of colors with both of these baits.

think he meant RC 3.5?

I'm pretty sure the pic he is talking about was caught with a kvd 2.5. Must have been a typo?

Idk but if there is a 3.5 I wanna try one

Lucky Craft makes a few baits in a 3.5 and a 4.5 size.

My pick would have to be Lucky Craft 1.5. Haven't tried one of the new ones but all my old RC's still work great!

I have always been a big fan of the Bomber baits.  Love the selection of coffin bills.  Xcalibur also makes a Fat Free square bill that's pretty sweet as well.  Chartreuse/Blue back is my go to color in the Fat Free square bill, Chartreuse/Brown back for the coffin bill.

I like balsa the best. The old balsa b's, wec's , and TC cranks. There is a newer bait made around here called Basscraft that has been really good for me. They run perfect out of the package , have good hooks and Dwain Batey at the bait werks does some of the paint work . A really high quality square bill.

Used to use Bombers back in the day, then switched to a few KVDs. Recently caught a big sale at DSG, and picked up a huge assortment of Bomber Square As, and Shallow As. I personally think that the Bombers outperform the KVDs.

Lucky Craft 1.5 for numbers of quality fish. When the fishing is real tough I will through the 0.5 in the Ghost color. For big fish the Lucky Craft RC 3.5. - Lucky Craft is still the champ in my opinion as far as plastic squarebills go.

 

Others baits that I like include the KVD 1.5 & 2.5 , Ima Bill Lowen squarebill & River to Sea Creepin' squarebill. The Ima one has come through me on some tough bites when they wouldn't hit the other baits.

Ive been contemplating cutting the lip down on a wiggle wart and then bending it with heat. So affraid to ruin a good bait though. Maybe the next time I scratch off a $500 ticket I can give it a shot.

As of right now it would have to be LC RT 1.5. This being said if i was on a budget it would be xcalibur xcs100 although im really excited to try out my new 6th sense crush 50x

bomber square a  or kvd  1.5

kvd 1.5. love the bluegill and sexy shad

Bomber model b balsa......fantastic wobble and awesome deflection. A little hard to find sometimes, but great lure!

Strike King KVD's, and Spro Little Johns.

The 6th sense bait seems to have quite a following based on the reviews it gets on Tackle Warehouse. I really like the looks of their Baby Bluegill pattern, going to try a couple next season after the ice melts away.

I'm glad some else finally said Spro little johns.

Great topic!  We all get to talk about our favorite and see what else is out there which is always a bonus for the tackle junkies.

 

My favorite is the KVD squarebill 2.5 in bluegill.  As a bank fisher when I really want to fish water away from the shore the KVD casts a mile and calls in some good size fish too!

Do you mean the 2.5?

 

I was thinking the same thing.  I actually went and checked couldn't imagine one bigger than the 2.5! 

Te KVD 2.5 blue gill is a big producer for me in the spring and late fall. You are right, its heavy enough to sling a mile. It's bigger profile makes it a great, big fish bait.

Teal, I've got a Spro Little John on the way which I can't wait to try it out.  I got hooked on lipless cranks when I started throwing them and laid off the lipped cranks for awhile.  The flat side on the Little John makes me think it's like a cross between a lipped and lipless crank resulting in a shallow crank with a tighter wobble.

 

Man you guys are helping me put together a nice little shopping list.  

I love the way the fat john wobbles, I just hate that their color selection is limited

Buy a couple then send them off to be painted any way you wish.

If i was to go through all that then i would get some of my dads old bagley B's and send them off..lol the old ones were amazing.

I bought some a couple Bomber square a's last month but the bites pretty dead around here.  Can't wait til it wams up some so I can try them out.

kvd 1.5 ,2.5 etc.
