ABW Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 My 1.5s always seem to get cracked right down the middle of the lip. What are some other brands where the lip won't break? Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted October 4, 2014 Super User Posted October 4, 2014 Xcalibur , Jackall has circuit board lips, I have done pretty well with not destroying too many.. But I push them hard ( rock banging ) Quote
Super User Fishes in trees Posted October 4, 2014 Super User Posted October 4, 2014 Look at the Timber Tiger DC 8 or the DC 5 if you want a smaller profile. Quote

ABW Posted October 4, 2014 Author Posted October 4, 2014 Are Spro's and Storm Arashi's bills very durable? Anyone ever crack one? 1 Quote
warpath58 Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Megabass Z-CRANK X These have held up well for me. They also have the circuit board bill Quote
Rangerphil Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 I beat my dt fat03 up and they work perfectly! Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted October 4, 2014 Super User Posted October 4, 2014 Aside from wooden ones..Manns all i need and use no probs Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted October 4, 2014 Super User Posted October 4, 2014 Norman Fat Boy and Bomber Square A I agree with the bomber square A, also try the H2O CRS its probably just as durable as the 1.5 but half the price Quote
Solution IAY Posted October 4, 2014 Solution Posted October 4, 2014 Anything with circuit board lip will be pretty durable. 1 Quote
Super User tcbass Posted October 4, 2014 Super User Posted October 4, 2014 Are Spro's and Storm Arashi's bills very durable? Anyone ever crack one? Arashis have worked well for me but I haven't banged it off of too many rocks. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 5, 2014 Global Moderator Posted October 5, 2014 Still have yet to break an Academy H2O squarebill, and I abuse those ones worst than any other. I've even smacked them off the trolling motor on the cast a few times, which is usually a death sentence, still going strong. Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted October 5, 2014 Super User Posted October 5, 2014 I haven't been using them long enough to say much, but I'm really liking these Xcalibur squarebills I picked up. They run good, have quality hooks, and are holding up nicely. I have caught some good fish on them, I like them so far. Quote
BasshunterJGH Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Are Spro's and Storm Arashi's bills very durable? Anyone ever crack one? The spros are the most durable squarebills I have ever used. In answer to your question, no I have never cracked one. They have great hooks, too. I agree that squarebills with circuit board lips are the most durable. 1 Quote
desmobob Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 The Bill Norman cranks are tough as nails. When the wind re-directed a couple of my normally deadly-accurate casts , I slammed the same one off a steel railroad trestle and a big rock one day, and not only did it not shatter, crack or otherwise break, I had to look hard to find a mark on it! Tight lines, Bob Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted October 6, 2014 Super User Posted October 6, 2014 Are Spro's and Storm Arashi's bills very durable? Anyone ever crack one? I use both regularly and have yet to crack any bills in or around big chunk rock. The paint gets beat up but there isn't a bait on the market that won't get scratched up on river boulders. 1 Quote
ABW Posted October 16, 2014 Author Posted October 16, 2014 I'm impressed with the Academy CRS crankbaits... these things are freakin' awesome. They are super durable, cheap, and the paint jobs are incredible on these. Quote
Ozark_Basser Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 The Storm Arashi squarebills have a circuit board lip. I've yet to have issues with them and love the colors as well. Quote
*Hank Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 The jackall aska is very durable. Well worth the money! Quote
