A majority of the time when I'm cranking I'll throw a rick clunn or a kvd 2.5 but I'd like to get some that are maybe a little more top notch! Thanks guys
What's wrong with the ones that your using? The rick clunns and kvds are both awesome baits if they're working why change them?
Tight lines

Check out the 6th Sense Crush Flat 75X Square Bill Crank bait.

Because I always want to throw what has the best chance of catching me a linker! I also have a tendency to question lures and I'm doing that now lol,

Lol the Storm Arashi is getting some decent reviews that's one bait I've been meaning to get my hands on but I mainly throw the kvd's

The storms are good I use them I have the bluegill and rusty craw. They run a little deeper than the 1.5s and they have a wider wobbling action. I like them a lot only problem is I wish they offered some better colors that's why I love my KVD 1.5/2.5 they have a bunch of very good colors.
The Rive2Sea Biggie is pretty nice, and they have some awesome colors.
Xcalibur xcs100 for me
I like the Baker suspending but have been digging the more shallow running H2O CRS lately
I'm not a big fan of SK but I do like the 1.5 and 2.5. The bluegill pattern caught me a ton of fish last year.
Bomber square-A.
KVD 1.5 with rattles. Killer.
KVDs and RCs have always been good to me. The bass in my lake have moved super shallow in only 2ft in one cove so I've really been hitting them hard this week with shallow square bills. I'm testing the Sebile Bull crank tomorrow on them and I've also ordered a few spro baby fat johns which aren't technically full blown square bills but they do have a very similar functionality.
Lucky Craft RC 1.5DRS
I like the LC RC 2.5
LC BDS 2
Lately (I'd say the last year) I've really been fishing, with great results, the Spro Fat John. I've got a few different colors but Cell Mate just gets bit so well that's my main color. Also really like the Lucky Craft RC 1.5's in Copper Green Shad. Although I will add that I picked up a couple of Rick's Luck E Strike cranks and they have been good too. KVD 1.5's are of course a very good bait.
I picked up a few Spro Baby Fat John's late last year but I haven't fished them much yet. They do "hunt" really well on a nice steady retrieve though.
KVD 1.5s usually get the call for me, but lately a Spro Little John has been my top producer.
Bandit neff said.... Pineapple color if you can find them. If you don't catch fish on it pm me and I'll buy the bait off ya.
I've got a bunch of LC 1.5's and love them, but anymore I find myself reaching for my H2O squarebills a majority of the time. They swim great, good color options, and cost less than $5 a bait.
LC RC 1.5 all time favorite
LC KJ flat
Ima Bill Lowen square bills
Megabass Knuckle 60
Spro also makes some good crankbaits.

Good picks, I'll add a 100 Bandit, and the way too expensive combat crank. Copper green shad should be illegal.
I'd like to help you out, OP, but I use either KVD or Bomber squarebills exclusively. The Bombers work well for me.
#1 for me is the Norman Fat Boy (redear).
I am also a big fan of the Lucky Craft 2.5.
KVD 1.5 They offer way too many colors tho... I down sized my color selections to shad, red and yellow. I have been buying some custom painted ones for spring though. I have tons of crawdads in my livewell that have the same color on them. I had them in Alabama, Indiana and Kentucky this year already. Green pumpkin with an orange bottom/craws. I am going to try to get a airbrush and do it myself soon.
I love throwing kvd 1.5s
NORMAN FAT BOY
Bandit, Xcalibur, Strike King, are all great, but the Fat Boy is my favorite, by far.
Tom
Xcalibur XCS series are my hands down favorite. Rapala DT Fat 3's are also good as well as the Bomber Fat Free square bills.
Plastic KVD 1.5; balsa WEC E2
If you fish brushy/woody cover, there isn't any substitute for the Wordens Timber Tiger. The DC 4, 5 & 8 cover most square bill situations. If you want to fish deeper woody/brushy cover. The DC 13 will get 13 feet down fished on spinning gear - 30 lb. braid and a short (foot & a half max) 20 lb fluorocarbon leader for abrasion purposes. If you want to go with a bigger profile I get the DC 16 down maybe 10 feet or so on 17 or 20 lb mono.
Give the Timber Tigers a try, you can throw them into woody/brushy cover and bring them out better than any other square bill I've tried.
Thanks guys! I will be going to bps soon
As a few others have said the xcalibur XCS series square bills are great. They are like the kvds but about 20 times better. And only $2.99 at Dicks Sporting Goods.....try them and you won't regret it
I like the RC3,works well around laydowns and brush.white my favorite color.fish them like a spinnerbait.
Bomber Square A
KVD 1.5 or bomber square A is what i throw.
LC RC 1.5
Kvd 1.5 is my go to square bill
I throw KVD Squarebills exclusively! They work perfect for me and they are designed by the cranking king, can't argue with that.
Xcalibur XCS are my favorites and get about 75% of the use. The Luck E Strike Clunn's get the rest.
KVD 1.5
THE BEST EVER. CAUGHT THE BASS IN MY PROFILE PIC WHEN THE POND WAS STILL HALF FROZEN
