I've been getting into shallow cranking alot lately...I've already got yo zuri wake cranks, Mann's baby 1 minus, bandit footloose, kvd wake and 1.5 shallows and some 1.0s that I bent the bills on. These caught my eye because I'm of huge fan of the square A. Anybody throw these?

I have those lures. Good but not great. The tend to not run true if you crank too fast, but it does have a nice wake. Somewhat light in weight and does not cast all that well, will helicopter at times.

 

Check out Bass Pro Shops The Egg. Comes in 2 sizes and both cast very well with the bigger 3/4 oz one, casts far. Both wake really good and excellent 1' or less shallow crankbait. I've caught many bass with both sizes either waked, subsurface or cranked under a foot. If you do get the Egg, change out the hooks to size 4 short shank trebles or the bigger Egg in size 3 or 4 short shank trebles. I use either VMC short shank trebles or Mustad KVD short shank treble hooks.

I hear a lot of praise for the shallow A, I've caught fish with it, but I have other similar cranks I like much better.

The square A?  I own and  have caught bass with them.  I'm a shallow crankbait junky, and have numerous pricey versions.  However, if I'm fishing a pond where my lure retriever is ineffective....the square A is one I'll reach for instead of a $10+ crank.

I like the square A alot probably have a dozen of them. The shallow a is their version of wake crank...like Mann's minus 1.

Good lure for the lower price range, install a good pair of quality hooks on their and you're good to go.
