Preferred Square Bills

Featured Replies

I use the Bomber Square A and KVD 1.5 more than any others. Don't overlook the Excaliburs, and also the Norman Mad N's and Fat Boys.

Excalibur or Xcalibur?

I want to catch lots of fish, 50 to 100 a day  .   Rattleless crankbaits   , I feel , are usually better than noisy.  The crank should be multi colored , broken up , scale pattern ...   Bluegill patterns work well in "Green " water . I dont even toss a crankbait with a wide wobble any more. A tight action,  easy throbbing  lure gets more bites.  If the lure is not running straight it will not catch many fish .   Theres a lot of fish out there , most of the ones that see a crankbait are not going to hit it . The more negatives that are eliminated     the more bites it will get .  

 

 A bluegill colored tight wiggling , easy throbbing Big Jim is  a lure that routinely catches 50 to 100 fish a day for me . It does not work everytime , no lure does .

Im a big fan of the rapala dt line. especially the dt flat side line

 

The DT cranks are not a squarebill. You can get the DT Fat's, which are more of a squarebill (comes in a 1 and a 3). 

 

Just wanted to clarify that for the OP. 

I like the kvd's but I just bought an WEC and it deflects better than any square bill I've ever thrown. It was a total bait monkey purchase

KVD 1.5s are my go to cranks.  With Arashis coming in second.  I did pick up a couple KVD 2.5s a week or so ago.  Threw one a couple time last time I was out.  Didn't catch anything in the short timeI used it but did have one follow it all the way up to the boat and swipe at it at the last second.

No love for Cabela's cranks I see. I have been catching them on shallow Pork Chops and Grave Diggers and the Dig-Its are really hot right now. Fished a SK 1.5 and Square A with limited success but they hammered the Dig-It. I like the Bombay & Lime color from Cabela's. It's their sexy shad.

im a sucker for some new Square bills for sure. I recently grabbed some 6th Sense and a new S-Crank, only be on the water once with them so far and they cast pretty well :) no fish yet :( but it was a tough day.

H2O Xpress! Because they're cheap, well made, have VMC hooks, and they work.

Lucky Craft - Model depends on conditions. The great thing about Lucky Craft is that they have a lot of variety in sizes, rattles/sounds, diving depths so you can always find something to meet your needs for a given situation.
