Default XCalibur One Knockers

Are these any good? Why would they be on sale for only $2.99? Because they aren't the "good" colors? Or is this just a good deal?

When I saw the post title I thought you were asking about Heddon Spook One Knockers.............my absolute fav! But I do have a couple of those Excalibers, even considering how rarely I throw lipless stuff I've caught some good fish on them. At that price buy some and repaint if you must.

Xcalibur lipless are my top pick in lipless cranks, both the regular and the One Knocker. That price is as good as it gets, color selection isn't all inclusive but a few good ones are available. I throw a lot of lipless cranks in the spring and prefer them to any other lipless crank I've tried (and that would be many).

They are probably just discontinuing those colors. If you fish lipless cranks now or think you might in the future, snatch those up. The 2.25" and 2.5" are the sizes I would recommend getting.

I'd recommend picking up a few at that price. As already mentioned, they are excellent lipless cranks. I have one tied to a rod right now! I'm just waiting for this rain to quit before heading out on the lake.

Anyone know the weight in relation to the length? I might grab some of the citrus and red colors.

2.25" = XR-25 = 1/4 oz
2.50" = XR-50 = 5/8 oz
3.00" = XR-75 = 3/4 oz
3.50" is the 1 oz behemouth, if I remember correctly.

I don't really use the One Knockers, but I love XCalibur lipless cranks. At those prices, pick some up.

The XRK50 in several colors is my go to lipless crank. I bought a bunch from our local Cabela's for that price.

They didn't have very many in stock here, and most of them were the 1oz size (XR-100, I believe). They didn't have ANY of the XRK-50 or XR-50 size. I picked up 3 and will post more in a different thread to cover everything I got.
