Overview
After two years of research and development with top level pros, the Riot Baits Reactor 1.5 Squarebill Crankbait delivers unique performance that is designed to outfish the competition and put you in the winner’s circle. Molded with a bulbous body that tapers down to a low volume tail, the Riot Baits Reactor 1.5 Squarebill Crankbait features ergonomic geometry, which creates a blazingly wide action and thunderous vibration with faster deflections and fewer hang-ups. It was aptly named because of its “reaction” to contact with rock, brush, or other structure is immediate deflection without any instability of its swimming action and minimal hang-ups.
To help call in fish and make them commit to biting, the Riot Baits Reactor 1.5 Squarebill Crankbait features a subdued single knocker sound chamber, which provides an intendedly dull heartbeat-like thump with every wobble that fish can’t resist. It is also armed with two razor sharp ewg style trebles to ensure a high hook up and landing ratio. Finished with 3D eyes, gill plates, and a premium paint job, the Riot Baits Reactor 1.5 Squarebill Crankbait is available in a wide selection of colors to match the hatch on any body of water.

Comments: Super durable and very unique. Deflects great off of wood and holds up great banging against rock. A new bait to always have tied on!

Comments: This thing absolutely tore up the bass in the small pond I was fishing during my son's Scout campout. I knew there were fish in the pond but everyone else was throwing small jigs and plastics. I tied on the yellow perch color and went to town. The hooks are crazy sharp, the action is incredible, and it's just a plain fun squarebill to throw. No issues hanging up and deflects really well. This is my new favorite crank.

Comments: This squarebill from Riot is a completely different design from traditional squarebills. From the baits unique tapered tail to the bill this thing cannot be compared to any other squarebill on the market. It's rock solid and that means you can crash this thing all day into rocks and not have to worry about the bill coming back chipped or broken. It has a wide wobble and deflects cover better than any squarebill I have thrown. I like that its different and something fish haven't seen over and over again. Truly innovative and a staple in my tacklebox now.

Comments: I have fished a lot of crank baits and can say this is a good cover bait it has wide wobble and deflects very well haven't had any issues with bills breaking off or paint chipping I've got a dozen or so and throw the a lot they have a unique sound unlike anything else I've ever used very well built and so far the hooks have held up very pleased in this product

Comments: Easily my new favorite squarebill. This thing comes through brush and whatever else i toss it into which is a bunch of trash thanks to the deleware river. And i have a hard time getting it hung up. The action and durability is crazy. Multiple fish and beating this thing off rocks docks and logs. No ill signs or breaks yet. Quickly replacing others and having a reactor box.

Comments:This squarebill has a super wide wobble. In spite of that, it goes through cover and deflects like crazy. It has become my new favorite squarebill. I've caught some toads on it recently now that the water is cooling off around here.

Comments: I really don't review much, and this is not how this lure fishes, but I got the front treble of one of these snagged on my shorts (Golf/athletic shorts) and while using pliers to try and get the treble out, the soldered joint broke separating the individual hooks. I will now be replacing the trebles before this lure ever hits the water.
I will say that the Onyx color way looks pretty legit and I am still excited to throw this, but feel that the hook shouldn't have broken by pulling it out of some thin shorts.... time will tell
