RC STX is a Rick Clunn endorsed lure..Walmart has them for 7.49 each i think.

Rick Clunn "worked in collaboration" with Luck E Strike on basically all their cranks/hardbaits. He has his RC STX, RC Squarebills, RC Smoothie mid depth crank and RC Freak deep diver. I've only ever tried the STX and none of the others. Only models that I've seen at Wally World are the RC Squarebills.

I like the squarebills, but I like most squarebills.

Yeah Rick "megabass" Clunn did a lot of collaboration....

I got one of the Freaks last year it is real nice, good action and dives deep even though it is hard to get a real long cast with

Hence my facetious quotations in my comment. He and Luck E Strike ripped off the Vision 110. So what. The fishing business is monkey see monkey do, always has been. A lure gets hot, every manufacturer comes up with essentially an idetical twin or with maybe a slight variance so they can call it their own. How many knockoff Keitech Swing Impacts are out there now? How about the Sweet Beaver? How about the Lucky Craft Gunfish copies? How about Wiggle Wart copies?  Yeah Luck E Strike tried that too with the wart hog which was an epic failure. I could care less if a company knocks off another design. If it's cheaper, works as good or better then I am going to use it. Competition is ALWAYS a good thing. Always.

Wish our Walmart would stock them but I usually get them at Hook Line & Sinker or end up ordering them. I keep myself stocked up on the colors that treat me best.

The RC Stick is obviously a Megabass knockoff, but Rick Clunn made a very good point last year while giving a seminar. He a trip to Japan to educate them about bass fishing, and literally was the first angler to bring jerkbaits to them and show them how they work. Who Made Who?

For $7.99 the RC STX jerks are gonna be hard to beat. You'll like them.

They have a junior version that will sometimes catch a few.
