They both catch fish, but the older ones have a duller thud sound because if the lead rattles, the new ones have steel rattles with a higher pitch. 

The RK crawler has a very low thud & might be a better bait.

The RK is. A better bait in 6-10 foot of water. The Wart is better in < 6 foot of water.

I totally agree

Yep, I experimented with the RK and it didn't do so well when casting right up to the bank.  For me the textbook "Wart Bite" happens about 5-8 cranks from the shoreline.  You just can't beat a WW.

the square bill is better in 5-6ft of water, IMO

 

I have all 3 on deck for each range:

SQ- 2-5ft

WW- 6-10ft

RK- 9-12ft

I googled how to tell the diff.. Looks like I've got 5 of the Magnums and 3 of the reg. size that are pre Rapala. Think I'll look into e-bay.

The mags bring about 1/4-1/3 the price of the regular wart.

Geez Whiz Charlie, I was trying to leave square bill talk alone.
