The 6th sense is a great plastic bait..In balsa, I like Dave's and Black Label..

Made me laugh right out loud ~

I've only seen the L7 offered on the 6th Sense site  ~ even there it's pretty low key.

So what is your favorite square bill?  Which one has the best action?  

Somehow the newbie posted this topic twice... sorry

KVD 1.0 and 1.5 (1.5 90% of the time). Chart/black back, Sexy Sunfish, and Gizzard Shad are the best producers for me. 

[blckshirt98]

I have a bunch of brands but the one I always end up tying on is the KVD 1.0-2.5 size squarebill.  That erratic swimming action used to describe the bait in the water is very accurate and has me convinced it draws more strikes, as opposed to other squarebills that swim in a fairly straight line.

What's so special about the kvd 1.5 chartreuse/black back?

It catches fish. I don't know why, but it just flat out kicks butt in murky water. Pretty sure thats what KVD won a classic on in murky water.

How does it do in clearer (3-5') visibility?

That's when I throw the sexy sunfish or shad depending on forage. I don't think I've ever thrown the chart/blk in that clear of water so what do I know... could be the best thing out there. 

[blckshirt98]

For the KVD cranks the Natural Shad works well anywhere!  I also have success with Sexy Shad or Chartreuse Sexy Shad.  But really, color is probably pretty low on the reasons why a bass will react to a square bill.  Pick a couple of confidence colors and just keep throwing it out there!

 KVD Cataouatche Special is what he won the Classic on. Pretty similar to the standard chart/black back, just more chartreuse.

It still works, but it's more situational than a standard in clearer water. Green Gizzard Shad is one of my go to colors in clearer water. 

[Luna2406]

My go to would have to be:

Strikeking 1.5:

sexy shad, bluegill, and natural shad.

Spro little John:

Rootbeer

Outlet has Bandits in two colors for less than two bucks a piece at the moment....in case the monkey has been off your back lately

I have a lot of confidence using a SK 1.5 and 2.5.  And to be honest I too have not seen that much of a difference in the strikes I get from the color I am using. Most of my bites are right after i bump something so i really believe that is the key. However I caught 4 different species of fish using the orange craw one day (largemouth, striper, crappie and a muskie). I have Arashi  and Lucky Strike models, just haven't used them yet because of the SK success.

Hey A-Jay what do you think about the 6th Sense 50x square bill?

I'll admit that at 3/8 ounce it's a little small for my liking.

Doesn't mean It doesn't catch bass - just means I prefer a 1/2 or 5/8 ounce bait.

I just bought one today for one of our lakes that the smallmouth love little squarebills on. Not sure when I'll fish it next, but I'll try to remember to post when I do.

I K.I.S.S. with squarebills. SK KVD's, in the 1.5 and 2.5 size in 4 colors 

Natural Bream

Orange belly craw

Chartreuse sexy shad

Chartreuse with black back

I do also have some Storm Arashis, and like them just fine, but 99% of the time if I am throwing a squarebill, it's a SK kvd.

Solid answer...

[parkerg31]

For some reason the discontinued Xcalibur xcs100 always stood out as my favorite. I caught my first bass over five pounds on one in fire-tiger years ago and ever since then when I couldn't catch a fish that crank did. Before they went out of business I actually went to every tackle store around town and bought every one I could find. Still have five or six left. 

[Last_Cast]

Strike king 1.5s. and the price isnt bad!

[Pond]

I've been using megabass cyclones and really like them but there coffin billed other than that kvd squarebill 1.5

[ACORO]
