I've done a search, but I couldn't find any topics like this (sorry if there is one). Both these brands seem to have pretty good standing, and they are reasonably affordable. Which do you think is a better lure? Is there some other brand with decent quality products in the same price range ie 3-4$. I know you get what you pay for, but lures like lucky craft are just out of my range right now. I'm thinking mainly of lip-less cranks. Thanks.

H2O's, they are just like LCs in my opinion and I have an Academy down the road to get them. Nearest BPS is in AL :-/

The problem with this poll is that Academy doesn't sell H20 baits on the internet and the stores are only in the south.  I like the XPS baits but the closest Academy is 5 hours away in Nashville TN so I've never fished H20 baits.
