Favorite Square Bill? 2024


fishing user avatarPondHopper96 reply : 

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


fishing user avatarlivetofish28 reply : 

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

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.


fishing user avatarAmericanzero reply : 

The Rive2Sea Biggie is pretty nice, and they have some awesome colors.

Xcalibur xcs100 for me


fishing user avatarComfortably Numb reply : 

I like the Baker suspending but have been digging the more shallow running H2O CRS lately


fishing user avatarmnbassman23 reply : 

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. 


fishing user avatarKevin22 reply : 

Bomber square-A. 


fishing user avatarCWB reply : 

KVD 1.5 with rattles. Killer.


fishing user avatarCrankinstein reply : 

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


fishing user avatarArv reply : 

I like the LC RC 2.5


fishing user avatarJrob78 reply : 

LC BDS 2


fishing user avatarWar Eagle 44 reply : 

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.


fishing user avatarLip 'em! reply : 

KVD 1.5s usually get the call for me, but lately a Spro Little John has been my top producer.


fishing user avatarak47soulja22 reply : 

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. :)


fishing user avatarBluebasser86 reply : 

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. 


fishing user avatarCJV reply : 

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.


fishing user avatarjdw174 reply : 

I'd like to help you out, OP, but I use either KVD or Bomber squarebills exclusively.  The Bombers work well for me.


fishing user avatarroadwarrior reply : 

#1 for me is the Norman Fat Boy (redear).

 

I am also a big fan of the Lucky Craft 2.5.

fishing user avatarslimshad reply : 

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.


fishing user avatarfrantzracing0 reply : 

I love throwing kvd 1.5s


fishing user avatartholmes reply : 

NORMAN FAT BOY

 

Bandit, Xcalibur, Strike King, are all great, but the Fat Boy is my favorite, by far.

fishing user avatarWIGuide reply : 

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.


fishing user avatarVolboy reply : 

Plastic KVD 1.5; balsa WEC E2


fishing user avatarFishes in trees reply : 

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.


fishing user avatarPondHopper96 reply : 

Thanks guys! I will be going to bps soon


fishing user avatarBass NC reply : 

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


fishing user avatarFAIRBURN reply : 

I like the RC3,works well around laydowns and brush.white my favorite color.fish them like a spinnerbait.


fishing user avatariceintheveins reply : 

Bomber Square A


fishing user avatarMccallister25 reply : 

KVD 1.5 or bomber square A is what i throw.


fishing user avatarcbfishalot reply : 

LC RC 1.5


fishing user avatarbassackwards12 reply : 

Kvd 1.5 is my go to square bill


fishing user avatarFishing_Cory reply : 

I throw KVD Squarebills exclusively!  They work perfect for me and they are designed by the cranking king, can't argue with that.


fishing user avatarDave P reply : 

Xcalibur XCS are my favorites and get about 75% of the use. The Luck E Strike Clunn's get the rest.


fishing user avatarTexas bassman reply : 

KVD 1.5

THE BEST EVER. CAUGHT THE BASS IN MY PROFILE PIC WHEN THE POND WAS STILL HALF FROZEN
