Super User 00 mod Posted March 11, 2013 Super User Posted March 11, 2013 I believe so. Citrus shad is correct it is the 12'-14' bomber fat free.. I'll have to get the exact model number... The BD8F dives 17-19'. That is the one I caught my PB on. Ticking tree tops in 40 fow, with the tree tops in 16-18' Jeff 1 Quote
The Rooster Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Bandit 100, 200, and 300. Might get into the 250 this coming year. I like anything Bandit really. Colors are blue back herring, chartreuse green back, taco salad, citrus shad, sparkle ghost, and root beer. I have about a dozen more colors in them also that I'm looking forward to putting to use.

ColdSVT Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 SK 6XD in Tennesee shad or citrus shad KVD 1.5 in Bluegill on a side note i have a 6XD coming in Neon Bluegill (new this year) if it does as well i think it will i'll be getting some more 1 Quote
JMurph24 Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 This will be my first season where i am going to use the crankbait on a regular basis.. I have tried it in the past and probably give up on it to easily. My home lake has thread fins, gizzard shad, ale wives ( i hope i spelled thst right ), and bluegill. Would something in the sexy shad color or tennessee shad be more accurate for my home lake? The lower arm of the lake is real clear at least 10' visibility and the upper arm has visibility from 2'-4'... Oh yeah its a deep mountain lake.. Not very much off shore structure that isnt 70-90' deep.. Quote
Super User MCS Posted March 12, 2013 Super User Posted March 12, 2013 Bandit 100 green/chart blue back, baby bass, khaki, and purple tiger Quote
Snakehead Whisperer Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Off the shelf my favorite crankbait is a Mann's Baby 1-Minus in Ghost Bluegill, although I employ an arsenal of cranks throughout the year. When the shallow cranking bite is on, it's one of my favorite techniques. The BPS "The Egg" is also deadly and dives even shallower than a 1-Minus (1-3"... just swap out the hooks for something quality and you're good to go.) Quote
TNBassin' Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 My favorite lipless is the red eye shad in citrus shad color. I really like the 5 and 6xd is powder blue chartreuse as well. They really stand out well in this murky mess Douglas Lake is filled with. Quote

Not very much off shore structure that isnt 70-90' deep.. sounds like my home lake...tennesee shad and citrus shad have served me well. however when the water gets cloudy I go to black back with chartruese. color is important but not nearly as important as deflection. deflection is the key 1 Quote
The Next KVD Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Its a 3 Way tie for me between a)Storm WiggleWart in Firetiger b)KVD Squarebill 2.5 in Chart./Blk Back c)Strike King Series 5XD in Ghost Minnow Quote
Griffin Cason Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 The strike king KVD 1.5 in silver sexy shad always produces and a clacking craw by river2sea in red are also fantastic Quote
JMurph24 Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 Is the square bill primarily a shallow runner, or can you get them in deep diving? I truly haven't fished with crankbaits to often... Quote
bmlum415 Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 the only cranks i use are speed traps and lucky craft pointers and a few megabass vision 110s Quote
