Eric Czerwinski Posted July 14, 2016 Author Posted July 14, 2016 My personal favorite is in the Lunker-hunt Kraken series of lures. They don't have exact models, but they do have a few baits that will go deeper than 15ft Quote

Eric Czerwinski Posted July 14, 2016 Author Posted July 14, 2016 Jawbone spinnerbaits. they run right around 2.99 at dicks sporting goods. Awesome baits for the price 2 Quote
Torn Thumb Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 I need some good square bills in the sub 5$ category. Also, I wanna know about jawbone tackle. I've bought a couple poppers but gave them to my son to have. 8 year olds don't tend to give accurate fishing reports. Quote
Eric Czerwinski Posted July 14, 2016 Author Posted July 14, 2016 For cheap squarebills, Lunker-hunt Kraken series crankbaits from dicks sporting goods are awesome. I have caught a couple of good sized smallies on mine. As far as jawbone goes, their frogs are probably their best lure. Their hardbaits/poppers are pretty good. I would give them a 6/10. Personally, i do prefer Lunker-hunt over jawbone as far as cheap DSG baits go 2 Quote

They're the first bait I reach for when I need a squarebill and they're on sale for $3 all the time. All their hard baits are good really. 7 Quote

I've got two of these that I bought two years ago from academy and they've taken a beating. I throw my squarebills in rock mostly and they've held up really well. The hooks are pretty good too. 1 Quote
Torn Thumb Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 I planned on it about a month ago when there was a sale but it's kind of an out of sight out of mind purchase. No Academies around here so I finally subscribed to the email list so I can order online for the next sale. Quote

Although the price recently went up, Bandit 100s and Shallow Flat maxxs are about as good as anything out there and probably better. In my experience smallies don't get dialed off them either, so their sound must be natural enough to continue to fool them. Quote

Yum Warning shot, kill shot, or sharp shooter or the 3" Yum Dinger...............$2.99 a bag. The 4" sharpshooters come 20 to a bag, and catch the fire out of them. That's a lot of bang for the buck. Almost ALL my plastics are $2.99 Yum and $2.99 Berkley Havoc baits, with the exception of a few things like chigger craws, and power worms............which I buy from Walmart, who still charge less than $4 a bag for them, where they are $4.50+ every where else. 2 Quote
