Best of the best Japanese crankbaits...

[Jake.]

I've used the Shaker for the past year or so. As far as catching fish goes, it does a great job. The bait has a wide wiggle (for a flat side crankbait) without much roll. The only negative is that it doesn't track very well if fished at more than a medium speed.

so far my favorites have been

deps buzzjet jr

jackal aragon sr

megabass griffon the big one

megabass pop x and pop max

i enjoy collecting tackle as much as fishing ;D ;D

JDK, it can be very addicting and expensive, and fun too

I've been using the ~2.5" I-shad as a trailer for 1/32 oz and 1/16 oz jigs.  It produces.
