Square Bill Crank

Square Bill Crank - 08/02/21 01:52 AM

I bought this square bill and a few others at Brownwood Sportsman Center several years ago. I don’t remember the name of them nor who they were made by. This one has “Stealth Shad” printed on the bottom of it. They are wood and catch fish like no other. Does anyone know who makes them or where I can get them?

Thanks
Brit

I think it is a Persuader Stealth Shad. They were around back I the early 2000s and the owner was pretty active here on the TFF. No longer in business now though.

It looked like a Poe's rc-3 but some small differences(eye placement). Could be a handmade knockoff. The Stealth Shad most likely refers to the color. Cool lure!!

That looks like it, I used to catch hella fish with them. Too bad they aren’t around anymore. I would like to have a couple more.

Brit...see you're in Pilot Point as well. Are you a transplant from NoCal? Haven't heard "Hella" in years. cheers

Yep. It is a Persuader. They were pumped tirelessly on TFF for a while. I have a couple. They are decent cranks.

I’m originally from Brownwood, moved to NM for awhile must have picked it up there. I’m in Pilot Point now, loving it trying to learn Ray Bob.

That is it. I still have a bunch of them but hardly ever throw them any more.
