CustomBaits4You Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 I have recently purchased a Lucky Craft 1.5 DRS in the TO Shad color and the first day out with it I caught a 5 pounder, I want a cheaper way to still have a quality bait so I decided I am going to compare the real Lucky Craft to a ko. My kos will be delivered to my house in 2 or 3 days. My comparison will be based on the action, quality, internals, weight, and how many bass they will catch at the same body of water, doing the same retrieve, at the same time. I am having a really hard time believing a Lucky Craft is THAT much better them the ko when they look identical. I will post my results on this thread in a few days, post your theories or your own test results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougarftd Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 They are not that much better...paint jobs are mediocre...clear is terrible (on LC). I did the same comparison on 1.5 Squarebills and found my baits were as good if not better than lucky craft. I am in the process of selling the lucky crafts as I am convinced mine are equal replacements. The best part is you will not give a second thought to throwing your bait into a "snaggy" looking spot that you may think twice throwing a $15-$20 bait. I am sold 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joetheplumber Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 I caught em all day sunday on a 1.5 ko. As long as you do a little research prior to ordering blanks the quality of them is very good. The only real LC's I buy now are the ones from the discount bin for $5 at our local tackle shop.

CustomBaits4You Posted September 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 I compared them, they are the same in every matter. The body, action, rattles, weight, and even ability to catch fish. Both the Lucky Craft and the ko caught equal amounts of fish. I will use kos cause they are much more affordable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bois d'Arc Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Recently started painting my own lures....mostly LC knockoffs. The KO square bills seem to fish as well as the name brand and cost a lot le$$. Plus I get the chance to tune the patterns to the lakes and ponds I fish. I've found several places to get blanks and most of them are good....just have to search for who has the best models and prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
