Yesterday, I took a trip to ye old academy sports and outdoor store and came upon this brand named "H2O xpress". I noticed their prices were much lower than those of the other brands I know like rapala, rebel, strike king etc... I figured they must be a "generic" brand or academy's brand so I was like what the heck. I bought two crank baits. One they call a "red glitter craw" which is designed to dive 10-14 ft. And another called "bluegill". It dives 5-8 ft. So my question is, has anyone else used this brand with luck?

yep. I've tried their reels, hooks, tungsten, and hard baits and haven't had any problems with any. In fact, the H20 XPRESS Mettle is one of my favorite reels and its only $50. definitely recommend their products.
PS: if you like pond fishing, pick you up some CRUL squarebill cranks in sexy shad.

Definantly will have to check them out more. And I like pond fishing more in some cases than fishing in a big lake.

i like their diving rattle traps

Everything I have tried of the H20 line has been good stuff.

h20 makes great reels and cranks.not hard on the wallet is always great too

oh I forgot I really like the jigs too. just replace the skirt keeper with a zip tie.

I have been satisfied with everything I have tried from the h2o express line of products and would recommend them to anyone.

H2O means water downed products , save your money for the good stuff .

I have the red glitter craw and its is a exceptional lure. i have caught a bass and a crappie on it but it depends on the location and i barely use it i mostly use worms.

Great tip!

Excellent products. I use quite a lot of the H2O products. If there is a downside or 2, you might consider changing the hooks on the cranks. The other downside is they are pretty high quality knock-offs made in China but, what isn't anymore.

I like their cranks but they do have a problem with the bill breaking. Academy will replace them but you still have to take them back. I have gotten to where I use the H2Os in practice or fun fishing and go to my LC and Excaliber for tournaments

I respectfully disagree. No one will ever be able to prove that a $20 crankbait will catch any more fish than a $5 one.

Ive tried (pretty much hooked now) their reels, hooks, hard plastic lures.

All work great.

Has anyone tried their Flouro line?

If so, how's it feel?

Im starting to like flouro, but I hate line memory.

I would think it depends on the action the angler gives the lure. I also don't know if fish care how much I spend on my tackle, then again I haven't gone a bass to tell me.

Most of their H2O products are as good as anything near the same price, so don't hesitate.
Except line, I had them spool a reel with 12# H2O mono line once, and it snapped repeatedly and very easily (worst was a 2lb fish "flopped" while I was getting ready to get it to remove my crankbait and snapped the line I was holding onto at the time... fish=1 line=0. Lost a couple of lures on casts also, that line was brittle!
I just noticed the other day all their lines are on "clearance", so maybe they are getting a new maker onboard for better quality, but my only experience with their line so far was very negative.
Everything else I've liked.

I have used some of there lures for hybrids and stripers. They have held up extremely well. If they can take the abuse of a striper than they can handle LMB easy. Their Rain/Wind suit is awesome.

Ive just spooled my mettle with H20 Flouro.

Its definitely better than Berkeley Vanish.

Kite twine is better than Vanish...

I use the h2o hollow body frogs and have had great success with them. Smaller in size for the body of waters I fish. My best two fish came off of them including my PB

I received as a Christmas Gift the assorted "Swim Baits" & tried a couple in the pool. They swim/work great to my surprise. Very life like.
The thing I HATE though is are a Chinese product. I've been trying hard in the last few yrs to buy only USA made.

Is it the package that has like six or seven in it? I was looking at that but didn't want to spend a bunch on something that was terrible.

Is it really that bad??

Vanish is trash honestly if someone says its good hasn't used another fluoro .and so is h20 express line "mono and fluoro" also its more expensive for less line! Line is h20s only bad product. As for everything else its great! I love the mettle reel wish they made a highspeed in the mettle.

Yea, a pack of 6.. 3 Shad like & 3 Perch

Cool. Tell me how they work if you will

Yes I love the cranks blue gill, baby bass, craw, they all hook fish..I love academy, I'll go there 2/3 times a week not ta buy but just look around and sometime they put the cranks on sale dirt cheap!! Same with other baits and rod/reels ,, I found ugly stick UL combo for $11.00 and Shakespeare ultra light spinning for $9!! o also just bought H20 express medium action rod for $19....

Dicks sporting goods had Excalibur cranks on sale for 2.99 that we normally 5-10 bucks. Got me a few of them

How are their rods? I'm interested in them

No problems so far

I like the line,but you must remember when compairing prices, Academy's line is shorter than others..

By how much?

there square liped crankbaits have a good deep knock and a wide woble they work good

the one here has Pline 10#-250 yrds at 19.99--
Seaguar Invizx-10#-200 yrds at 15.99--
H20 10#-150 yrds at 14.99..
that said I do like the line...
