Do you believe action is the most determining factor or color? Are you of the school of thought that “if they’ll eat a crank they’ll eat my Bandit and color is what I select” or “if they’ll eat only a DT then most any color of DT of appropriate intensity is what I throw”?
Substitute DT and Bandit for any crank name brand. They are there for illustration.
I’m a believe in action myself and color coming in second place.
]]>The bad: They’re made from crummy plastic. I work with thermo forming and handle plastics every day and the plastic these baits are made out of what appears a to be low density brittle material, something that is consistent with our cheapest plastic. I’ve broken the corner off the bill on one of the baits already. The clear coat is thin and hook rash quickly gets into the paint. Due to the light weight of the lure, it is not as easy to cast and especially pitch, as some other square bills. Hooks are of a lighter wire than ideal.
The action is hot, the colors are good and the price is reasonable. Strongly recommended if you’re willing to put up with a lot of crap on the user end of things and value a great action. Think of these as the Senko of square bills. I do believe the low density, brittle plastic and the paper thin clear coat is what “lightens” up the lure and allows it to have that killer action. There is no free lunch in crankbait design.
]]>Do you use a snell knot or a palomar knot to tie the hook on?
I’ve seen several videos on you tube on making a punch rig and it looks so cool. i’m waiting for the mats to come so i can give it a try.
Any suggestions on best way to fish it from the bank would be appreciated.
Thanks guys

I’m really trying to “tweek” the line types that I’m going to use. Researching the pros/cons of each type & looking at specific lines for specific techniques.
