Bassfisherman94 Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Looking for some big sized shallow running crankbaits to use this fall. I'm looking for anything from 2' to 4' that are fat and easy to cast at targets. What are some good ones? Thanks! Quote
Highhawk1948 Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 I like the Rapala and Bomber lines of crankbaits. Have caught an awful lot of fish on them. In fact this morning I caught several bass on a small bomber that I purchased in the 80's. Beat up but still catching 'um. Quote
Pensfan79 Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 I like the Rapala DT Thug and DT Flat, a little harder to find in stores these days but some can be had at reasonable prices online. Both have pretty decents size and bounce off the bottom well. Quote
gallowaypt Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 You can get big H2O square bills for 2.99 all the time at academy. Just change out the hooks Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted August 3, 2012 Global Moderator Posted August 3, 2012 Strike King KVD 2.5 or series 4S. If you can still find the old Lucky Craft Rick Clunn baits the size 4 is a monster that catches big fish. Quote

Jake P Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Kvd 2.5 is UNREAL. My first choice without a doubt. Quote
basshole8190 Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 xps makes a good one its almost exactly like the kvd 2.5 with cheaper hooks pumpkinseed and shad do it for me or any of the bomber square A series ive found that smaller work best in spring and the larger are better in fall Quote
guitarkid Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 the bandit squarebills are pretty big, also check out yakima bait company's web site, they have some that have some meat on them. -gk Quote
rangerjockey Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 When it comes to squarebills I love balsa. The best I've found is TC cranks and Dave's , neither is cheap but I don't normally lose shallow running baits. Quote
Bassfisherman94 Posted August 4, 2012 Author Posted August 4, 2012 Thanks everyone! I am going to check these out! Quote
