Megabass KNUCKLE 60 ~ Transformable Square Bill Crankbait

Length: 2.36" / 60mm
Weight: 3/8 oz
Type: Square bill. Shallow-diver. Multi-depth transformable lip. Tight rolling action at any speed.
Depth: 1 ft with lip clicked down. 5 ft with lick clicked up.

The Knuckle 60 incorporates Megabass’ unique FX System, utilizing a transformable square-bill lip that can be user-adjusted to target specific depths. When adjusted to the down position, the crank runs one foot deep. When the bill is clicked into the up position, it will run five feet deep.

The multi-function bill is anchored by the ‘knuckle’ mechanism, which firmly holds the bill in each user-adjusted position, thus keeping the bill stable in place.

It has a fixed weight for balance. meaning it doesn't rattle.

Transformation Technology

Lip clicked up - The Knuckle 60 will maintain its depth at 5 feet. It performs a hi-pitch, wobble-roll action. Unlike past shallow cranks, it performs aggressive flashing equal to that of vibration cranks, even in obstacle-free mid-range waters. These stimulating and sharp vibrations displace a lot of water, and will reach and captivate cruising fish swimming much deeper in the water column or on bottom.

Lip clicked down - The Knuckle 60 will maintain right under the surface at a depth of 1 foot. It displays its high-tempo swimming motion with its hi-pitch vibrating action. Furthermore, when twitched and jerked on the surface, this setting allows for a wide range of versatile topwater actions.

Lucky Craft LC 1.5 ~ DRS, RT, DDRT Crankbait Series

Model Size Weight Depth Type Hooks
LC 1.5 DRS 2” (60mm) 1/2oz (12g) 3-4ft Square Bill, One Knocker, Low Pitch Noise Two #4
LC 1.5 RT 2” (60mm) 1/2oz (12g) 3-4ft Square Bill, Rattling, High Pitch Noise Two #4
LC 1.5 DDRT 2” (60mm) 1/2oz (12.5g) 5-6ft Medium Diver, Rattling, High Pitch Noise, Two #4

All three models have the same body and the same lip shared on the DRS and RT models. These are also the same bodies and bills as previously used for the discontinued RC series, now renamed to the LC series.

LC 1.5 DRS ~ One Knocker Shallow-Diving Square Bill

DRS or Deep Rattle Sound refers to a single knocker rattle inside which makes a low pitch knocking noise as opposed to the raucous chattering sound of mutuple BB's in other lipless baits such as the LC 1.5 RT model.

LC 1.5 RT ~ Rattling Shallow-Diving Squarebill

There are situations like stained to dirty water, thick grass or heavy cover where a rattling crankbait can be more effective than a silent one. The LC 1.5 RT features a high pitch rattling sound that can attract and draw fish out of grass or cover. Whenever or wherever visibility is limited, noise can be the feature that triggers a strike.

LC 1.5 DDRT ~ Medium-Running Rattling Crank

The medium length spoon-shaped bill helps drive the DDRT model a few feet deeper than the shallow squarebill DRS & RT models.

Using All Models in Concert

When the bass are shallow or right on the bank such as in the early morning, use the square bill DRS and RT models. Whenever bass are a little deeper or they pull out further off the bank as bass often do by late morning, try the DDRT model then.

Click to visit www.BassdozerStore.comThe LC series include: 1) the RT high pitch rattling, shallow-running square bill, 2) the DRS low pitch one knocker whish is also a shallow -running square bill plus 3) the DDRT medium-diving rattling crank. All are the same bodies/bills as the discontinued "RC" series except no longer the same color patterns. The RT, DRS and DDRT all share the same body size/shape.  The RT and DRS have the same bill aas each other nd look identical (the difference lies within their internal noise systems). The DDRT medium-runner has a little longer bill.

Thank you for your business. May your next fishing trip be your bass-t ever!

ima Square Bill ~ Shallow Running Crankbait

Length: 2-1/4" / 55mm
Weight: 3/8 oz / 10g
Depth: 0-3 ft
Hooks: #6

Bassmaster Elite pro Bill Lowen was key in the design of the ima Square Bill.

"The ima Square Bill is a shallow-running cover contact crank that combines everything I ever wanted in a hand-made balsawood bait with the durability and consistency of an injection-molded hard plastic crank," says Bassmaster Elite pro Bill Lowen of North Bend, Ohio. "I was raised fishing shallow water, using balsa baits hand-made by 4-5 guys in this area of Ohio where I am from, and everyone in the fishing world knows that hand-made balsa cranks act different than plastic production run baits. Many lure manufacturers have tried before, and you always hear about this or that plastic bait that's 'just like balsa', blah, blah, blah, but to me no plastic lure has ever truly been like balsa yet."

"So what I wanted to do (and succeeded at) was take everything that I liked about the 4-5 different hand-made balsa baits I know and love, and incorporate all that into the ima Square Bill, a plastic crank."

"I wanted a square bill crankbait that would run a little shallower than most others on the market. Most square bills run in the 4-6 foot depth range. My bait is designed so you may fluctuate its depth range from 1-3 feet by varying the line diameter and/or the rod tip position. The ima Square Bill's only going to run 3 foot deep on 12 lb test, holding the rod tip down. Using 15-17 lb test, you can get it in that two foot range. If you go up to 20 lb test, it will swim one foot deep. So we've hit all the depth ranges with this one bait. The key reason for wanting it to swim so shallow is a lot of other square bills dig into the bottom. When you are fishing really, really shallow, most other baits are digging really hard in the dirt, and you waste half your cast because you get mired down in the muck and the dead leaves laying on the bottom," explains Bill Lowen

"If you study what's going on, even in 4-6 feet of water, most of the cover you are trying to contact sits a few feet higher off the bottom anyway, so by not plowing the open bottom, you are simply hustling the bait cleanly above open bottom and slowing it down to bounce and work it in the cover contacted above the bottom. What ima has ingeniously done here is to produce a shallow-running square bill that you can get up in shallow water and bang it through the cover, not digging the empty open expanses between cover where other cranks waste your cast."

"Typically, square bill type fishing is summer or fall fishing, banging it fast through the cover, going for a reaction bite. When the bait deflects off a piece of cover, you can semi-pause it and start twitching it in the cover, and it will kind of walk-the-dog underwater. Twitching a crank is really hard to do with a plastic bait because most other plastic baits aren't buoyant enough. So what they'll want to do underwater is to roll really hard to the sides, and they'll typically get hung up, your line will get hung up in the hooks. Not so with the ima Square Bill. We have made it so buoyant that it very easily walks the dog under the water. It will almost remind you of fishing a jerkbait but not quite that erratic and without making the pauses you make using a jerkbait. The ima Square Bill will stay down in the cover by simply keeping a tense line and therefore water pressure against the lip while you keep twitching on it. As soon as you stop doing anything with the bait, it's going to rise right back up, which is really good because when you get stuck and snub it up on a piece of cover, typically you can let go of the bait (let slack line) and it will back itself out."

"There's another deal you're able to do with this bait, and that's simply by keeping your rod tip up (with any line test), you can wake it on the surface. You can twitch it on top, and it is so buoyant, stays up so easily, that you can actually walk the dog, left to right in a zigzag action on top. There are no other balsa baits or plastic cranks that can do that, not that I know of," claims Bill Lowen.
