Members fishEd Posted April 14, 2016 Members Posted April 14, 2016 Ordered some square bills last winter while they were on sale and just noticed they were having a $5 sale again. I picked up some of the jerk baits (110 lookalikes) and some deep diving cranks. $5 for a custom looking paint job, seemed like a deal to me. Thought I would share. The paint and hooks were nice on the square bills I ordered, hopefully they will be just as nice on the jerkbaits and dd cranks. https://limitoutlures.com/collections/110-jerkbait https://limitoutlures.com/collections/crunch150-dd https://limitoutlures.com/collections/1-5-square-bills Muddy Water 1
Champ188 Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 They look interesting for sure. Thanks for sharing.
chi0082 Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 How's the action out of the box? I don't like having to tweak my baits. What type of hooks do they come with or do they come without?

I've only had a chance to use the square bills once since I got them, but they seemed to run true. The hooks are black nickel on the cranks, but not sure what brand. They don't seem cheap though. I'm sure there is a better test, but I was told a long time ago if you could take the point of the hook and scratch the top of your fingernail with little pressure, then they are sharp. These definitely do that. There are probably better hooks out there, but I have no problem running it with what it came with. It says on their website that the jerkbaits come with KVD Mustad hooks. I ordered a dozen (6 deep divers and 6 jerkbaits) and shipping was only $3.35. Said 3-4 days processing and 3-4 days shipping. I didn't think that was too bad either. Could have gotten faster shipping for an extra couple bucks, but knew I wasn't going to be able to use them this weekend anyway. I'll try and remember to take a pic when they come in and note if they run true when I have a chance to use them. Forgot to mention earlier, I'm not affiliated with this company in anyway. I'm just a cheapskate and like to help out others if I can. I've certainly gotten plenty of help from all the great anglers here over the years. LOGROG 1

What type of hooks do they come with or do they come without? Probably ought to avoid jerk baits altogether then, as very few of them regardless of brand come out of the box perfect. I own quite a few Megabass and Lucky Craft j-baits and have had to tweak nearly all of them. Furthermore, you often have to re-tweak them after catching several fish or fishing them hard all day. And you sure don't want to get ahold of a Wiggle Wart that doesn't run exactly true. Talk about a sensitive bait to get tuned right.

Im with ya on trying to tune a wart, i keep my packages and receipts and if they run goofy i just take them back and get a new one Champ188 1
