Favorite crankbait

[TonkaBass]

Mine is probably the mid 1- for shallow. The DT4 for a little deeper. Rattlin Fat rap and Bandit 200 for mid depth. Dt10&16, Down Deep Rattlin Fat Rap, and Mag wart for deep.

I like the DT series. I do alot more cranking past 10' than I do shallower and DTs, poes 300 & 400 are what I find myself throwing the most.

I love the old and trusty Rapala Fat Rap. Has been very good to me.

i'd have to agree wiht you on the new Strike King Shad

great lure

[cjac]

I love the Rapala Rattlin' Fat Rap in Firetiger, I can tie one one and catch just about anything, especially on my family cabin lake. Largies, smallies, pike and 'eyes all fall for it. The DT series are also a major hit with me, as I'm not as skilled as you all are in deeper fish. I fish a lot of stained water, so more often shallow than not, so the DT 4 or 6 is often my choice.

I like the little baits, like the Minus 1s, Baby O's, fun for bass and aggressive pannies too.

One of my favorite for river fishing, going back a ways, was the Lindy Little Shadling. Had just enough lip and size to work in a current. Wish I had more of those left around......

I dont have (One) fave, it depends on the season and the weather. I am embarrased to admit I have like 6 tackle boxes full of cranks...

Shallow water--Bandit 100 series..

Med--By Far!!!! Rapala DT7 Flat side!!!!!

Deep- DT 16 or Dd 22 or Poe 400...

and event those change depending on season and weather..

[bassNspear]

you guys sure love them DT's

[HellaBass]

I will be very specific - DT6 Parrot

[bassNspear]

hmmmmm i was in love with the DT4 and DT10 but went away from then alot last year!! But by the looks of it, i might have to get a few more since everyone else is running them.

[Bassman55]

I really liked the old balsa fat raps, but I am running low on them now. Oh well, I can always find something else I will learn to like just as much.

Hiya -

For Largemouths, most of my cranking is deep, so it's a lot of DT10s and DT16s, Poes 400s, and old Bandits. DD22s once in a while too. Count me in as one who still likes the old Balsa Fat raps too. I really do prefer wood baits. In the fall I like flat cranks a lot - RC3s and DT Flats.

For smallies, original Fat Raps and Bomber 6As and wiggle warts in rivers, Glass Shad Raps, Moonsaults, Bevy Shads in lakes. I think the X-Rap Shad will be a pretty dang good smallie crank too.

Cheers,

DT series, Lucky Crafts RC and the DD22!!! I would like to try some more Lucky Crafts but just cant spend the money on all of them.

[Coach Dog]

DT's, original fat raps, husky [PoorWordUsage], and some of the Mann's such as the 1-minus. I also like some old school lures like the Hellbender.

[ikeslayer]

I really like the Fat Free Shad in a silver or gold color. For shallow cranking I have been catching fish on the Storm Subwart in sliver or firetiger. I am getting into the DT's but haven't done great on them yet.

[evinrude19]

i like the MANNS shallow running cranks and also the DT's

[jalberg]

DT 6,10,16 color depends on forage and water clarity.

[st.crioxfishin]

I don't throw a whole lot of cranks (really hope to work on that this summer) but when I do...

-shallow: bandit 100 series, manns 1-, xcalibur X50 rattle trap, strike red eye shad rattle trap

-deep(relatively): DT10

Like I said I really need to work on crankin this summer, espeacially being efficient about it insead of just flinging the bait out there aimlessly. I feel its a huge niche in techniques that I'm missing out on.

[bassNspear]

i also like the baby mins ones. Great bait!!!!

I agree 100%. I am new to bass fishing and i feel this is one area that i should focus on this summer.
