Anyone having problems with the bills as of recent? I went out today and cracked or chipped off giant pieces of the bill on 4 of them today.

I hope you bring this to Strike King's attention and request either refunds or replacement lures.

ya i had that problem earlier. send them in to strike king and you get lots of replacements

I have the same problem and it really shows strike kings quality control. Sometimes you get a good one that lasts for a while then sometimes you get a bait that breaks the first day

I'm a big fan of the 1.5 and 2.5, and use them a lot. Never had a problem with either. I try and bang them into crap as much as possible and never had a bill crack. Probably just a few defects in a production run.

They're my go-to squarebill.  Never had a problem.  Contact Strike King and have some pictures ready to send them.  I hear their customer service is top-notch.

love that 2.5 i dont even bother with the 1.5 most times because even a 8" perch will try to eat a 2.5

I havent experienced the same exact problem but 2 of my recents 1.0's run way left and it drives me crazy.  I researched how to tune it but the ring is so small that its a PITA to get a hold of it.

The only time I had one break was when I was casting to a dock last week and missed the water!

[Yeah... OK... like you never did that! :laugh5:

 

It landed on the dock and the corner broke off.

I've never experienced a problem with SK KVD squarebills. Mine have always run very well

I cracked 2 last week, is it worth digging in the trash for them. Do they send you a small lot or a straight replacement. Not lOokin for handout but is it worth looking through crap

I broke the bill on one but I hit my friend in the back of the head with it. Does that count?

That's the blood you see from where the bill cut him. The 2/3 trebles I buried didn't cause it haha

I had a 6inch perch eat a 6XD the other day...he was hungry!

I just bought two the other day, both seem fine. I haven't run them hard yet, but one half day of fishing and they still look good. Hopefully you just got some from a bad batch and overall quality isn't slipping.

Ya, I just got these ones from BPS a few weeks ago, I fish squarebills pretty hard, lots of rocks around here - Its not the first time ive cracked the bills, but 4 in one day right out of the package d**n. Good news is that I emailed SK and they said they would replace them no questions asked and give me a few extras for my troubles.

Who do I call about the pike that took one of mine earlier this year?
