Just dropped in to pick up some line,...

Left with $30 of crankbaits

They must be getting rid of their H20 Express brand

I haven't used the H2O cranks or lures. How do they compare to other more expensive brands?


Thomas Jefferson. The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Life is too short to only hunt and fish on weekends!

Just left the one in Gadsden, no dice.

Larry, I like them. Have caught hundreds of fish on their baits. Colors are good and hooks too.

This was Montgomery. They literally took the whole H20 aisle and put them in buckets

They're awful. Won't reach the advertised depths, run left/right/circles, can't be tuned. I also noticed on their deep crankbaits, you can't feel them, it's like they have no wobble. Pull a 5XD and it shakes your rod tip, but it's like you're just pulling a rock through the water with the H2O's.

Madison had a bunch left and the Decatur store had Bandit’s on sale for 1.98 also. That was last week though. I ended up with some suffix line and and a ton of hooks.

They have nice looking finishes, and come with pretty good hooks. Their topwaters are fine (they make an indentical lure to a Lucky Craft Gunfish that I use, legit can't tell ANY difference). But their diving crankbaits are just poor (or to me they are)

That one they make that looks like a Gunfish, they make it in "bone" (which Lucky Craft does NOT offer)

Not trolling just have a different opinion of them than ikillbux. The square billl's are hard to beat.
