Are H20 lures any good?

gillrod2728 · March 28, 2011, 09:34:15 AM

Are H20 lures good for the money? Also if so on there square bills what size is best I figured 3 inch would be about perfect for all lakes but not sure since they dont offer any good info on there lures. Thanks

H2O makes some really good cranks, especially their squarebills...I've caught quite a few fish on them and they deflect off of cover as good as the RCs from LC. The smaller square bill will go the normal 3-5ft and larger squarebill will go from 5-8ft, possibly a tad deeper on thin line and long casts...but yes, they are good cranks for the price, as I've caught fish on them from Lake Amistad, Toledo, Red River, Broken Bow Lake in OK, etc...

Their crank are worthy but I'd shy away from the frog. Match the hatch size and color best you can when purchasing and the cranks will put fish in your boat.

we have had the best luck in the 3-5 footers. We fish a couple local city lakes that the fish just hammer the 5-8 footers. I buy more H2O cranks than any other ones.

I work at Academy, so I naturally fish them a lot. But I do like them. They fish quite well for me. I do fish a Bandit a good bit as well.

I like the price on the H2O baits. Instead of an $18 crank getting eaten by a gator at Okeechobee, its only about $4. I dont like losing them either way, but the gator usually wins.

I had an awesome day on Toledo last week with the H2O jigs. The only thing is the rattles don't stay on. The square bill crank baits are great as well as the lipless cranks. I also like the spinner baits. Just bought a H2O baitcast reel last week for $50.. Incredible smooth. Like it a lot. If it last, I will definitely pick up a few more. I also looked at the new H2O rods. Like them a lot, just don't like the bright blue color. Light and sensitive. All in all, seems like a lot of great products at great prices.

Talking about those $50 h2o Mettle reels...they are great and hold up well! I have 6 of them

All it says is there made only for Academy sports. Now I will tell you that they are dang near identicle to lucky craft. Only thing I see different is there paint isnt as good but other then that there awesome looking.

sounds like they make a great bait for everyday fishing But don't think i would use one over a lucky craft when tournament fishing

They make some really good looking spinnerbaits too. Haven't caught any fish on them yet but they look good.

I like the compact 1/2 once spinnerbait.

Got out and fished the square bills over the weekend and they perform very very good. There similar in action to the KVD square bills that I love.

I caught three small ones on a square billed Bandit today. I got two H20 square bills in the mai today. They look nice.

Were they the new bandit square bills they just released or the original one? I have some of the new ones they look awesome.
