JWOA Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 What's your favorite lipless Crankbait and company? This is one of my go to lures so name them guys. Quote
Nave Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Stike King Red Eye Shad, Bill Lewis, and Cotton Cordell. Quote
VABassin'14 Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Gotta be the Rat-L-Trap. I've used a few other, Super spots, Red Eye Shad, etc but the Rat-L-Trap is my favorite. They are just what I comfortable with throwing and work well. Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted June 27, 2013 Super User Posted June 27, 2013 xcaliber one knocker/red eye shad Quote
loodkop Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Red eyed shad and Spro aruku shad gat the most game time on my boat. Quote
gr8outdoorz Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 They are expensive but my favorite are Live Target Bluegill & Shad. I catch more on these than I do RES's. Rat-l-trap would be my 2nd but I hardly ever use them because The LT's perform so well for me. Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted June 27, 2013 Super User Posted June 27, 2013 Red Eye Shad when I'm in the boat or on the bank in "safe" water. H2O Express when fishing from the bank in "dangerous" water (high probability of snags and bait loss). My stash of H2O's cost me about $2.25 ea. shipped and if I'm gonna lose a bait, I'd rather loose a cheap one... BTW - my PB in my avatar was caught on an H20... 1 Quote
thebassgrad Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Rat-La-Trap or as Goose52 said won't get more bang for your buck than H2O. - TBG - Quote
TNBassin' Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Red Eye Shad. Flat out catches fish. Chartreuse baitfish, and Chili Craw always put one on my line. Quote
Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted June 28, 2013 Super User Posted June 28, 2013 RES catch me fish, the good ones I get that is. Of 5 that I bough 3 of them wont run straight. Overal really like the Rap Rippin Raps run true and hold their paint and catch fish. Quote

Super User Jrob78 Posted June 28, 2013 Super User Posted June 28, 2013 XCalibur XR50 and Red Eye Shad are my 2 favorites. Quote
Mccallister25 Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Im partial to the Bill Lewis lures, and red eye shads. In not as confident with the RES as with the Rattles, but Iv caught pretty good fish on both. Quote
Super User Tuckahoe Joe Posted June 28, 2013 Super User Posted June 28, 2013 Been loving the Red Eye Shad recently but it seems I'm cursed. Whenever I catch one on it, I end up snagged and broke off shortly after. The way I'm losing these things, I should probably start fishing the $2 Cordell Super Spots more. I've fished them and the Rat-L-Trap and have done ok on both but I have more confidence in the RES. Quote
OkeechobeeAngler Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Rat L Trap in various sizes and colors. Quote
OhioBassNewcomer Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 I like the XCalibur XR50 or 75 foxy shad or Rapala Rippin Rap Lipless. Quote
Super User Sam Posted June 28, 2013 Super User Posted June 28, 2013 In open water any will do. VanDam's Red Eye Shad and Rat-L-Traps lead the way. In grass I like the Cotton Cordell or MegaBass due to the lure's front tip. These brands, and others, are shaped to help the bait go through the grass easier than the pointed tip of the Rat-L-Trap.

Super User Bankbeater Posted June 28, 2013 Super User Posted June 28, 2013 Rat-l-traps, and super spots. Those are about the only ones that I ever use. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted June 28, 2013 Super User Posted June 28, 2013 I don't use anything but Redeye shads anymore. Quote
Super User lmbfisherman Posted June 28, 2013 Super User Posted June 28, 2013 Strike King Redeye... Quote
fishking247 Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Bill Lewis rat-l-trap. if I fish deeper water I use the red eye shad. I've found the red eye runs deeper Quote
craww Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Overall the rattling vibe is just a fish catching machine. At 5/8 and a slightly more aerodynamic design than most rattle baits, it seems to cast better. Red eye shad is great, especially when yo-yo'd as it shimmies on the drop. Spots run shallower than others and are a good value. The rapala rippin rap is growing on me. Quote
Mr_Scrogg Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Aruku Shad although Ill be trying XR50s soon. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted June 29, 2013 Global Moderator Posted June 29, 2013 Xcaliber XR50 and XRK50, nothing else even comes close for me. 2 Quote
Hogsticker Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Here is my best of the best - 5/8 oz. - Yo Zuri Rattlin Vibe. Great for deeper open water. Very tight vibration and casts like a beast 1/2 oz. - Rapala Rattlin Rap. Cheap and a total fish catcher. I have caught more fish on this than any other. Can't put my finger on it, but it flat works. 3/8 oz. - Spro Aruku Shad JR. - Perfect for ripping over weeds, great hardware and a great price. All have several color options Quote
