Have any of you guys tried this crank? It looks almost exactly like the LC RC 1.5.

I think I’m going to grab one to fish when the bass stop feeding on shad. Once the water warms up to the upper 60’s the shad go to the main channel and the bass start eating the gills.

Kyangler and xRanger use those H2O baits. They will catch fish.

A few days without the spam block then it shows back up…...

Yea, I think H2O is Academy Sports brand. You’ll have to order them most likely.

I do use the H2O baits…like them pretty well. Cant tell a big differance between them and the lucky crafts.
As of a couple weeks ago, academy did not have online ordering for fishing.
I spoke to them at the Nashville, Tn store, and they said academy is trying to get them online soon…they didnt have a date….so who knows

Yeah the only place to get them is ebay at 100% markup. I’d like to get some for the normal price, hopefully they get them online soon.

Academy has never sold online.They have a hard time keeping these baits on the shelves in the store.  I was told by one of their regional directors last year that Academy will not sell online, and that is part of their marketing strategy.  You can even call stores to have them ship them to you, and they wont.  They tell you they have to be purchased in store.

The closest store is the on in Tenn. I believe, and there is one near Joplin, Missouri. Everything else is in Alabama, Texas, Louisiana….. They are a southern based store, kind of like Scheels up here.

That stinks. Think it’s putting there closest store 5-6 hours away from me. Sounds like they’re some pretty good cranks. Might have to try and find a few to try out… smile

All those pages set up for their website, just so you can’t buy anything from them.

Went bass fishing today for a little, hit a backwater pond first then moved to the main river. The pads are starting to come up in the pond so I threw a topwater for a while, no takers. Then I saw a bunch of fish moving up in the shallows so I quickly switched to a junebug senko, got 3 on the senko. Had about 10 blowups reeling the senko across the top of the pads but none of them took it, just hit it and spit it. After I got done playing with those 10"ers I moved out to the main river and picked up my h20 crankbait. Caught about 20 of the darn things on it, all 10-12” long. I really like the lure and the bass sure do love it!

Which model do u have…looks like the little one…the CRS…square bill shallow in a bluegill pattern???

The guys that live by those store make a killing on them.  Most sell for 7-9$ each shipped.  Which…is still half the price of a LC….but, the markup is crazy..and people buy them without question.

H20 Express crankbaits look sweet, but you are right they are so hard to find. Not only do the bluegill cranks look good, but they also come in a realistic looking Rock Bass pattern crank. I accidentally ran across it on line a while ago, and when I tried to find it again I couldn’t. I wish I could find it, because so many of the lakes I fish have Rock Bass in them.

Hope you catch your biggest bass ever on your next fishing trip.

Im just glad I have as many as I do.  Probably going to get some more though…LOL.  Need to fill a whole crank box with them.  Getting close too…only about a dozen left to buy.
