I know they have been discussed on here before, but I recently purchased a few and have to say that they look a lot like Lucky crankbaits. The couple I tried also ran true right out of the box. I'll probably never buy another Lucky again.
Has anyone else seen the resemblance, or am I just kidding myself?
Has anyone tried the H2O topwaters?

I agree with you. I've never had an H2O that didn't run true out of the box. That's more than I can say about Luckys. I bought a Lucky last year that would do flips all the way back to the boat. Never did get it to run right. Haven't tried the H2O top waters.

ive tried to topwaters on stillhouse, theyre great. the silver and black back was tearin em up. i learned to "walk the dog" with it. very easy to work, now im pretty good with any sammys, zara spooks or other walkin baits.

Buy up all you need now before they figure out they have a superior product and bump the price up around the over priced Lucky Craft. I have used them since they came out NEVER a problem!!

I just bought and tried one for the first time last week. It was the deep diving model and it ran true but I couldn't throw it very far. It kept on tumbling regardless of how I tried to cast it. Does this happen with your deep divers, too?

Yes, But I have that happen with others that dont have very many bb's, they do seem to be just a tad lite. Still a Fair Price.

At the Arlington fishing show this year, one tackle vender had a box of H2O lures....they were labeled "Lucky Craft Knockoffs"...I think that about says it...........

I love the H20 crankbaits. Some good looking colors.
Thanks,

I have bought well over a hundred of the CRS 1.5 types. Best crankbaits for the money that I have found.

I have many of them my self and caught allot of fish on them but the top water is a little strange! The balance on it is off a little bit and if you get to agressive or fast it will flip over and pop back right side up.
