Super User Munkin Posted October 14, 2014 Super User Posted October 14, 2014 LC RC 1.5 is my all time favorite. Mine as well and I have caught fish on it from March to November. Allen Quote
Super User senile1 Posted October 14, 2014 Super User Posted October 14, 2014 KVDs 1.5 when I want numbers and 2.5s for I want big bass. I usually fish 2.5s.... They are awesome and I have my best luck when I am "bumpin the stump " with my crankbait. I use the 2.5s a lot when cranking shallow as well. The 1.5s are fine but, in my opinion, they tend to draw a lot more small fish. Quote
kadas Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 LC RC 1.5 is my all time favorite. Yep--this Quote

Super User DogBone_384 Posted October 15, 2014 Super User Posted October 15, 2014 I've never used square bills, so I've got to ask: rattle, or no rattle? Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted October 15, 2014 Super User Posted October 15, 2014 I've never used square bills, so I've got to ask: rattle, or no rattle? It really depends, there is a place for both. http://www.stanfordcedarlures.com/fishing-crank-baits--is-silent-better-than-rattles/ Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted October 15, 2014 Super User Posted October 15, 2014 Nooo, it's Xcalibur, Rapala & Jackall I use all 3. Quote
MNBassFisher Posted October 15, 2014 Author Posted October 15, 2014 I agree, there's just something about a bomber Mike I picked up a couple of Bomber Square A's last night. They appear to run a bit shallower than the KVD 1.5 but I definitely will be trying them soon! I've never used square bills, so I've got to ask: rattle, or no rattle? Get some of both. There's been times when the rattle is the key and then there are times where a silent crank is what the fish want. Quote
Ozark_Basser Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Definitely. Anywhere where the cover is too sparse to throw spinnerbaits or rock banks is primetime squarebill territory for me. Been loving the Storm Arashi lately Quote
Ozark_Basser Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 I've never used square bills, so I've got to ask: rattle, or no rattle? I like a rattle in dirtier water and one without a rattle in clear or cold water. Also a silent squarebill seems to produce better in pressured lakes as opposed to one with a rattle. Quote
Jay Ell Gee Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Nope... It's the Norman Fat Boy (Redear) I'm with Mr. Kent on this one. In south La we can throw squarebills pretty much year around. Quote
slimshad Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Recieved my KVD 8.0s in the mail an will give them a try Sunday. I will report the good and the bad monday. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 20, 2014 Global Moderator Posted October 20, 2014 Recieved my KVD 8.0s in the mail an will give them a try Sunday. I will report the good and the bad monday. They're big, really big. Been throwing mine on a light swimbait rod kind of big. Quote
slimshad Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Threw it on a swimbait rod and felt good about the area. No takers on the giant squarebill. I did manage my best two bass of the year on other baits. Killed a deer sat and caught hawgs on sunday. Gotta love the fall. I will put the giant sq bills up til Guntersville this feb. Quote
Djf3864 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Was throwing a Storm Arashi 5' this weekend and it was killing the spot we were fishing. It took a beating through because of the pickerel in the area but that is par for the course when going after LMB I guess. Quote
WillJ Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 i started heavily fishing a 2.5 over rip rap banks horizontally late this summer and would go back over the same bank without rattle if the rattle didnt produce and usually when it didnt it just wasnt the day for it, i don't think that the difference between 1.5 or 2.5 plays a role in the size of the fish either i read that somewhere in the thread. i fish a small private lake often and it is absolutely covered in shad every one has complaint about the action late august early october 2.5 did for me through out that whole time though still working rip rap, shallow flats, and just chasing the shad.

gramps50 Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 When it comes to Fall Bass fishing I often turn to Crankbaits to put fish in the boat. Often times I find myself throwing a lipless crankbait, DT-6 or DT10 but a friend reminded me that Squarebill's can be deadly in the fall as well. The fishing was slow on this particular day but I was able to manage a 16" bass and a healthy 18" 3.5lb bass on a KVD 1.5. Who else uses Squarebills in the Fall? If so, what brand do you prefer? What ate the gloves your wearing in the video? Quote
