Academy Sports

Tavery5 · 09-19-11, 06:31 PM

I made a trip to Tulsa, OK this weekend and visited the nearby Academy Sports. I know I have made posts before about the quality of their H2O series baits, but they never seem to stop coming out with stuff that looks better and better.

Here are a few shots of some baits I picked up this weekend, if you have not had the chance to check these baits out, I don't think you will be disappointed.

Great baits for under $5 each.

I agree that their H2O baits are awesome. That Sammy type bait is a great bait, I don't have that same color but I have caught a ton of fish on them. Too bad our Academy got blown away in our May 22nd tornado. It's supposed to be opening back up soon though.

Under $5? That is definitely a great deal. Too bad there aren't any academy's in my neck of the woods.

H20's are awesome baits, I have a ton of them. They cannot be beaten for the price. Those new photo finish lipless baits are sweet too. They are a different shape than the normal lipless baits and come with Owner hooks.

Those look great!

I was fishing with one of the square bills Joe got for me the other day. It had good action, hooks, and paint job.

Those babys look awsome! And for under $5.00? Amazing!

Ive havent seen the newer lipless yet!..They look rad! ...Im also a huge H2O fan...I noticed on the hard bodied swimbaits (bluegill 6'') They would sit nose down on the bottom and I could hop them without snagging..Not sure if thats in design or just how mine swims but I like it!

I'm telling you, you guys with BPS and Academy and such sports stores are just lucky. In the land where steelhead and salmon are king, bass stuff takes a backseat. I did like Academy back home... It is the name of the all girls Catholic High School.
