TrapperJ Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Seems like Xcalibur so far has the smallest heavy crankbait I have found. 2" @ 1/2oz Trying to avoid spinning gear to use my current setup. Any other brand out there make a heavier small crankbait, Thanks! Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted December 19, 2014 Super User Posted December 19, 2014 storm arashi are 1/2 oz LC RTO 2.0 are 1/2oz Quote
TrapperJ Posted December 19, 2014 Author Posted December 19, 2014 Looking to go smaller than 2" if their is one out there. Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted December 20, 2014 Super User Posted December 20, 2014 Bomber Square A's are 2" and 3/8oz, I throw em' on casting gear only. 1 Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted December 20, 2014 Super User Posted December 20, 2014 The Square A that Catch and Grease mentioned is 2" but it is a small profile for a 3/8oz bait, in fact if you compare it to the Xcalibur XCS, it looks like it is maybe 1/4oz and it is a fish catcher. That to me is the smallest, heavy square bill. 1 Quote
smallieking Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 ed chambers E-1 best square bill you can get. very easy to cast Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted December 20, 2014 Super User Posted December 20, 2014 Lucky Craft "Skeet Reese" SKT Mini MR - $9.99 to $10.99 A tiny 2" @ 3/8 oz .. Smaller and lighter are easier to get, I throw the really light ones on spinning. Quote

Super User roadwarrior Posted December 22, 2014 Super User Posted December 22, 2014 Give both the Norman Fat Boy and Bomber Square A a try. Quote
Super User Master Bait'r Posted December 22, 2014 Super User Posted December 22, 2014 It would be tough to get heavier than a baby supernato when you fill it with water... Just do yourself a favor and put a stinger hook on it. Without them, the hooksets can be sporadic. Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted December 22, 2014 Super User Posted December 22, 2014 Are you actually having problems throwing the XCS with a baitcaster? The XCS100's my favorite squarebill and I have no problem throwing that even in gusty winds so even though it may not be super "heavy" it casts just fine. Quote
Megastink Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 Academy has some tiny squarebills, but not very heavy Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 What rod are using? That may be the culprit if casting is a problem. 1 Quote

papajoe222 Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 What rod are using? That may be the culprit if casting is a problem. This and the fact that you should also downsize the line you'll be using. The only downside that you need to address is whether or not to contunue using baitcasting gear or switch to spinning gear. Either way, it looks as though you'll be purchasing one or the other. I throw FatBoys and some crappie cranks with a baitcaster. I give up distance and deal with backlashes in order to do so, but it can be done. Quote
TrapperJ Posted December 23, 2014 Author Posted December 23, 2014 havnt really tried to throw any yet, i can chunk a Shad Rap size 7 pretty comfortably on my baitcaster. I just wondered it there was a little squarebill or a shallow diver that was small and had some extra weight to it, if there was such a thing out there I didnt want to overlook a brand. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted December 23, 2014 Global Moderator Posted December 23, 2014 Spro Little John's are pretty small and very heavy. Quote
