earthworm77 Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 I managed to buy a few RC type .5 squarebills from Dinger, but they were out of the deep diving .5's. Anyone have a few or a place to get some? I'd pick up a dozen or two of each if I could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saugerman Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Iv'e been waiting for some of the deep .5 square bills too. Hope he gets some soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangerfield Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Any idea what model the FS or New Years Rattle on the Dinger site are based on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteSS Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) New year is an S crank. Flicker is a Little John I believe. D7 is a #7 Shad Rap/Berkley Flicker Shad Edited November 15, 2018 by MonteSS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D7 is a #7 Shad Rap/Berkley Flicker Shad I thought the New Year looked like the S Crank but I couldn't tell from the gills when comparing it to a photo on TW. Many thanks!!! Do you have any experience with the New Year on the water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteSS Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 I have fished the Predator ones and dont care for them. Body is so bulbous and buoyant. I much prefer a stand squarebill. I didn't see any "searching" action that the real MB one claims. But others love em so what do I know. I did catch an 8# channel cat on one tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthworm77 Posted November 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 I sent a mssg to Dinger about 2 weeks ago and they told me the DD.5's are on order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saugerman Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 They have been on order for a while. I'm pretty sure I e-mailed him about it some time ago. Hope he gets some soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Steel Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 I don't know. I think it works the way MegaBass describes, but I haven't fished that bait since late spring. I probably won't get a chance to go for a couple of months. If I do, ill try it out. In the mean time, maybe someone else can weigh in on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Young Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 I have used the Predator s-crank. It hunts with a fast retrieve. If you don't get the same results, try a lighter belly hook, lighter topcoat. The same weight, weight distribution, lip, and shape produce the same results. They have to, or every other Boeing 747 wouldn't be capable of flight . The question is which suppliers / manufacturers will pay attention to such details. The origional S-crank is also mass produced in China. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
