I liked the h2o for areas that have little cover. I found that they hung up easier than other baits.
Regular sk square bills have caught me a lot of fish, but buy a lot of them, I had a big problem with them taking on water (without bouncing them off of anything.)
I like the bandits a lot, but they are really small. I have caught a lot on the 200 series, but wish I could put some bigger hooks on them.
KVD's have been good to me. Most of them come tuned out of the box tuned. Then after several fish they start running hard to one side. I haven't been able to readjust them...
I have started throwing Sebiles. They have been good to me so far. Great paint jobs too.
With all baits, I change the hooks. The hooks on some of them may be sharp, but they have lost me some important fish. I really like the KVD hooks. Watch the split rings on strike king baits. I have had multiple start opening up after several fish and the hook has started its way off.

H20s, Norman Fat Boys, new Bandit Squarebill when I want a rattle. KVDs and Xcaliburs when I want a silent bait.

The old lc Rc 1.5 and 2.5 in copper perch are hard to beat. Need to check out the lucky strikes. Heard they are the same bait, just cheaper.

KVD 2.5's with replaced KVD Mustad Elite Triple Grips. I've lost 2 out of 15 fish due to spitting with these.
You know the old saying
If it floats, flys, or f___s it is always cheaper to rent!
You have to decide which is more important.

I guess I'm one of the few that like the new Rick Clunn lucky strike's
They really have been holding up well and hunt very well
I still use a lot of h2o and excalibers also but really liking the new RC2 I like them aswell. Have they released the 2,5's yet? Ive found myself throwing the 2.5 more than the 1.5 this year.

Strike King square bill (series 1 I think??) and KVD 1.5 around rocky banks and shoreline vegetation
In memory of my childhood friend Dan Sterling, who taught me at an early age how to catch bream with a hand-line, and who unknowingly hooked me on fishing for life.

If you try the LC's top three colors would be Copper/Green Shad, Chart/Copper/Black back, and the Citruse Shad. I have a lot of these baits and these produce the best for me around docks, lay downs, and river weeds. I only use the 1.5 size.

Bandit 100 has always been my go-to moving bait. I fish it in any cover but thick grass. I bought a few of the new Bandit "Squarebills" but have not had the chance to throw them yet.
Some folks say that fishin on a Sunday is a sin, but if a fish bites my line, you know I'm gonna reel him on in!
