Post by: Bender on March 25, 2011, 03:00:40 PM
Well it looks like you Yankees can finally buy these online.

It's taken them years to start selling online. I've been buying quite a few of these at Academy in Tuscaloosa, AL and so far they seem to be of very good quality, especially for the price.

I don't think you've lived down there for a whole year yet, and now we're Yankees?

You forgot the Y'all part though.  Dead give away that you are still northern born and bred.    :)

I'd heard they were going to start selling online, it's about time.  I've heard nothing but great things about them.  I've heard they are high quality, run true out of the box, and are sometimes called a poor man's Lucky Craft.  I may just have to buy a couple to check them out.

Yeah,I'm in trouble.....I like the H20 hardbaits a little too much....I used to just pick up a few every time I go visit my parents down in Texas.

just placed my order for all the swimbaits every color of 3 1/2 and 4 1/2 :).. If those babys look near as good as they are in the pics then I'll be happy :). picked up a couple crankbaits too, just to see how those pan out.

Read a ton of reviews on these baits, all saying good things about em..

Anyone know where they are made? Good looking baits with decent hooks. Never heard of them before.

darnit !!  lol
Now everyone will have my secret crankbait up here. I have family in Houston who do my shopping for H2O's whenever i need some. These are some of the best cranks ever and they are supposedly handpainted. Whether they are, or not, they are definitely realistic. My favorite is the Green Sunfish (bluegill color).

the crs cranks are RC1.5s that rattle. I have some but never caught anything on them the few times i used them. RC1.5 is one of my top producing baits though so i lost a lot of confidence in the h2o version.

I caught this 9.5 lber on Lake Fork last Mothers Day on the H2O CRS 1.5 in Green sunfish. In fact, i caught a boat load of nice ones on that lure. Probably the reason it's my favorite crank.

I see you got a deep diver in Tilapia. I love that color and bought some lipless like that. I haven't tried them yet but it looks great. I think the lipless has green flake on it, I can't tell from that pic if the crankbait does too.
