I filled a 3700 box full of them for about $125 and the fish that I caught the other day cranking came on them. They run true right out of the box.

I have 3 of their rods and they are great. I just bought them a week ago and have had only good things to say. The biggest that I have caught is 3lbs, but I am hoping to get them to bend more this weekend:)
you know, nothing wrong with seven men who met on the internet going for a swim together

And the hooks are sharp enough to bury to the bone in a finger, I know.

I witnessed this. The rod just exploded when he made a cast. I will not be purchasing any H2O rods.

Is there an actual H20 lure compnay or does Academy pay other lure makers to make them and brand them with their house name? It happens with everything else, just curious.

Im betting that Academy has something to do with them seeing as at every checkout stand in the store they also have the H2O crankbait with the hooks off of it and made into a key chain with the academy logo printed on it.

Love the lures. The crankbaits are amazing for the price. Also, I've had some huge explosions on the topwater frogs.

You are gonna hate em, as a matter fact just box em up and I will pay the shipping up here and dispose of them properly.  No they are fantastic baits and I have caught several fish on them.
