JeziHogg Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Pros? Cons? Preference? I've used the KVD HC is all sizes and it has produced, but Tackle warehouse currently has the LC RC on sale for $7.99 a pop. Are they worth it? Quote
Super User jbsoonerfan Posted January 20, 2013 Super User Posted January 20, 2013 The LC RC is AWESOME!!!!!!! Worth every penny at $7.99 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 20, 2013 Global Moderator Posted January 20, 2013 Both great baits and both have their time and place. Seems to me like the rattling LC are a little louder than the SK and have a little tighter, more controlled wobble. Quote
Bass Junkie Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 I have never used the Strike Kings, and don't plan on it, but the Lucky Crafts are fantastic! I have quite a few of them, and they are just great, durable, fish catching lures. Plus, you don't have to swap out hooks on the LC's. I've heard some bad reports on the KVD's terminal tackle. Check out the Copper Perch colored LC's. 1 Quote

bknap Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 I have both in the square bill box and ill always throw the SK before the LC. it is probably a confidence thing, and by the looks this forum is going it looks like it might be ! ha 1 Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted January 20, 2013 Super User Posted January 20, 2013 LC when something is on the line. Quote
soccplayer07 Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 wow that is a great price. thanks for the heads up! Quote
Baddy Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 If KVD uses them, its good enough for me................. 1 Quote
War Eagle 44 Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 I have plenty of both in my tackle box but in my opinion the Lucky Craft baits are superior. The RC 1.5 Copper Green Shad is my all time favorite square bill. That bait just flat out puts fish in the boat around here. 1 Quote

Super User ww2farmer Posted January 21, 2013 Super User Posted January 21, 2013 Never had a LC squarebill, and never will. Not that they are not well made, and productive baits. But the shear number of fish fish I catch on SK KVD's is good enough for me, even with swapping the hooks out, it still costs lest than LC, and hurts the wallet far worse when the toothies come a looking. 1 Quote
War Eagle 44 Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 My biggest fish this past year came off of that color! Congrats!! I hooked what I'd say was about a 6 pounder on one once, got it all the way to the side of the boat and for some still unfathomable to me reason I reached down and tried to lift it in the boat by grabbing my line. Just as I did he gave a nice big head shake and POP, the 10# Trilene XT wasn't up to the challenge. Not only did I have to watch a huge fish swim away but he swam away with my bait. I've been lucky with these baits though, I've had a nice "connection" for the past 4 years or so and I've only had to pay $8.99 instead of the regular LC prices. Quote
Silas Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Saw some Lucky Craft RC's at Bass Pro a couple of days ago on clearance rack: $4.88. Best price ever. Not a lot of them, but enough to spend a few bucks! Quote
tbone1993 Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Squarebill Battle: Lucky Craft Rc Vs Strike King Kvd Hc vs the Luck-E-Strike Rick Clunn Square Bill Crankbait Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 23, 2013 Global Moderator Posted January 23, 2013 Squarebill Battle: Lucky Craft Rc Vs Strike King Kvd Hc vs the Luck-E-Strike Rick Clunn Square Bill Crankbait The LES is a good bait too and has a couple different colors than the other two offer. I really like the Reel Shad and Cooper Perch colors in the LES squarebill. They have a pretty similar action to the LC but don't forget to change the hooks out. Quote

Super User roadwarrior Posted January 23, 2013 Super User Posted January 23, 2013 If KVD uses them, its good enough for me................. I'm sure he changes the hooks out, too. 1 Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted January 23, 2013 Super User Posted January 23, 2013 KVD does change the hooks...but they have become my favorite cranks. At that price for the LCs they are absolutely worth the price. They are worth the price at full retail, but my budget won't allow them. Quote
Primus Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 I like both baits, that said if I had to go with one it would be a RC 1.5 in the Ghost color. Quote
