I have a question since I have not tried the New Booyah Marketed Lipless Cranks which are supposed to be from the same mold as the original Xcalibur Hi Tek Tackle which made a XR50 size that weighed 5/8 and was a good lure, but I had purchased a ton of them about a year ago to sell on Ebay knowing the price would keep going up.....

I have used the XR25 the most and it is a lure I really like. As for the larger size, I have never really noticed that they are any better than my favorite lipless cranks-Spro Aruku, Red Eye Shad, Sebile Flatt Shadd, Bill Lewis, Cordell Spot...and my favorite for pressured water or for a different sound the Reaction Strike LV lipless cranks have a sound that sounds like Sand, comes with junk hooks, but fishes similar to the Spro with the head weighted downward. 

I started listing them on Ebay the last month and I have People emailing me and offering me over $25 for Rayburn Red XR50 and XRK 50's which are just a one knocker which is made by every company. I have a bunch of XR50 series in the 5/8 size and I have a guy who wants to buy all the one's I have opened for $15 each and I feel bad selling a $4 lure for that much money. 

Pradco owns Booyah, When I look online they look the same, and I have always felt that lipless baits are lipless baits, and Red is red....A Red/Orange Spinnerbait, Jig, Crank in Spring will catch a ton of fish compared to other colors most days no matter what you are throwing. Should I hold onto a few or are the Booyah the same? I can't believe how fast they sell at 14.99 NIP, and at that price I can sell them all off and buy a few Jakall TN's or Ima's which are the 2 I only use on special occasions, but when I want a lipless crank that has awesome color, Comes with great hooks, and priced reasonable, I buy Spro, Red Eye shad for it's Shimmy, and Bill Lewis one knockers and other models....What makes the Excalibur so much better? I am not just getting a few messages but some people are panicked like they are Pre Rapala Wiggle Warts...I know they were good lures, but is is it really the Excalibur One Knocker or color?

I would love some feedback, I feel bad charging someone $20 Plus for a lure that Booyah still makes and want to just tell him to try a booyah Rayburn red and I feel better listing them for $15 and if someone wants to pay that for a new one in a box than I am a capitalist.

Thanks.

From what i've heard is they are the same bait, just different package/brand.  The Booyah colors are different/new though, and the Rayburn Red is different than the Excalibur color.

it's simple economics man....  supply and demand.  

If you want to make money as you said you bought them for. Id sell while the profit was good. I hear it's always better to sell high. Wait to long and the fad ends where is the profit then?

Guess you could hold for 10 years and pray they become gold. Lmao

I think I rambled and didn't get my point across....I am not so much caring about the money, I am wondering if I should keep some since maybe they are really that good? I assumed the Booyah version was the same? I apologize about the money part, I was starting to wonder if maybe I need to keep them to fish myself.....

I never considered them to be "Overly Special"....It seems many people think they are, I would rather keep 20 for myself then sell them if they catch more fish due to some sound they make or if the new ones lack the same features and one Day I will be wishing...I wish I kept those XR50's.......

it's mainly colour the rayburn red made for xcalibur was more red than the one made for booyah which is almost orange that is generally why they are worth more that as well as they are the original

if you want i will take them off your hands 

I have yet to catch anything on the BooYah version. The colors are not the same as noted above and I would also question the pitch sound made from the rattles. The frame/mold shape is identical but I don't think it is the fish catcher the old one was, at least not for me. Same scenario to the new vs old wiggle warts.

Old post but any more thoughts on the xcal vs the booyah one knockers?

The Booyah has been a fish catcher for me just like the Xcalibur was. Makes me wish I'd sold all my XR50s and XRK50s back when they were selling for a bunch of money.
