Never heard of them, So I looked them up
http://www.fishkds.com/

There out of Michigan
I will say they have a good price on the Rod Gloves

The squarebills Look OK and they have the same lure name as the LC's
But I highly don't think they have any thing to do with Lucky Craft.

But please let us know how they do this spring

I am pro staff of kds lures. The molds are the same as luckycraft with custom paint jobs. The EV2's are my favorite!! They also have tungsten weights and like the last guy said rod sleeves and grips. Coming soon will be jerk baits and top water poppers. Also check the frogs out super soft and great colors.

If you could
Please explain how a small internet bait company has the mold for a LC square bill

I could understand if it's a copy, But I don't see how LC would be sharing molds

What I mean is they are the same mold
, not luckycraft lures. They look and fish the same as luckycrafts. I have fished these baits for 2 years and I have luckycrafts, c-flash, river2seas, mega bass, and rams and these baits are comparable, knock offs or "not luckycraft."

darn salesmen

So there not the same mold as Lucky Craft!

My thoughts would be
LC has no corner on square bill crank baits
But they do have a very good reputation has a prem. bait company

I could understand if you said they fish as good or better as a "LC"
But you loose respect when you say there the same mold

They are priced right, and the paint jobs look great
Might have to try a couple

I do like this site's disclaimer.   Wonder who is shipping his baits.

I didn't see the disclaimer?

Always looking for a good place to buy tungsten weights.  KDS's site doesn't seem to list any for sale at this time.  Disappointing as my partner and I usually do a fairly large combined order in the winter.

Mike,
I there E-bay store had them
http://stores.ebay.com/kdsports/

But If you were buying bulk I'd contact them direct and leave the E-bay costs out of the deal.
