airbrushextreme Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 I buy from predator bass baits all the time I havent had any trouble out of any of the baits he sells they all run true and are A+++ clear I ordered 100 from him 2 weeks ago and they are already about gone I never even advertised. my normal crowd of local pros bought them before I even finished them. If you have any questions about any of their baits I have painted lots of them and have bins of their unpainted baits ready for painting when I have a chance away from my normal orders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIUBASSER Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 The ones from Predator have a removable plug in the bottom where you can add or remove weight. The only place I have found to get the ones in your picture is ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris Posted October 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) This unpainted RC 2.5 KO is not the Square Bill sold at Predator Bass Baits. I've seen several pictures of this one and it has NO plug in the bottom. Here is a pic of the bottom of this bait. As you can see there is no plug.

Fishwhittler Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) I believe the knockoffs in question are the FG Shallow diver from jannsnetcraft.com. Edited October 14, 2010 by Fishwhittler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not on his website. The ones on his site have the adjustable weights. These are the new ones without the adjustable weight. They swim great as I have tried them. Here's one of them I just painted. Great guy to deal with as well. Edited October 14, 2010 by 152nd Street Baits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIGnJ()N Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 I bought some of the LC knock off's from Jann's to test out. They are very nice cranks! Here's the 2 that I painted a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 I'm assuming the baits JIGn()N painted are the Netcraft "FG Shallow Divers". If so, they are smaller than a RC - their finished weight is 1/4 ounce versus 1/2 ounce for the RC series baits. They are very nice little cranks with good action, some of the best I've tried, but JMHO there is really no substitute, no real clone, for an actual LC bait. Same look, yes, but not the same internals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airbrushextreme Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 I know what you mean I paint knockoffs to sell and a few for myself but I buy the real thing for my personal stuff I wait for basspro to put the RC's on sale and buy them up for my own use same with pointers etc I bought a bunch of discontinued pointer 100 100DD Slender pointer and staysees last year for $5 each a local tackle shop was discontinuing them and some werent bad colors mostly bleeding bait series and some of the odd trout looking colors I repainted for myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JIGnJ()N Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Whoops, Sorry about that. I went back and looked at it was the FG shallow divers. I had a brain fart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
