If you’ve read any of my work before, you’ll know I’m an absolute junkie when it comes to shallow crankbaits; they’ve accounted for an overwhelming majority of my big bass catches. I’ve gone out of my way to test nearly every squarebill on the market and I often find myself comparing them to the Lucky Craft LC Silent Squarebill.

This particular squarebill is a staple for both novice and professional anglers—even the ones who don’t get paid to use it. The industry has seen a lot of knock-offs over the years, but it’s tough to beat the original.
