jomatty Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 i have favorite brands that i use for most techniques but have never settled on a favorite lipless crank. to be honest ive used pretty much whatever and that has worked out fairly well. i like the lucky craft baits and use them for a lot of other things but am not sure that it is worth the extra $$ in this application. maybe im jsut not good enough with lipless cranks but i just cant tell that much difference. plain old rattle traps have also worked fine for me although they seem fairly cheaply made and need hook changing out (which aside from lucky craft). ive also had good luck with the rattlin rapalas and like them fairly well. anyways, what are you guys favorites?

Cephkiller Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 I like and use many brands, but the Yo-Zuri Rattlin' Vibe is probably my favorite. Quote
Super User Gatorbassman Posted April 2, 2007 Super User Posted April 2, 2007 Pro Model Rat-l-Trap. Quote
Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted April 2, 2007 Super User Posted April 2, 2007 I use Rapala Rattlin Raps the most. I have some Rat-L-Traps, but I have far more success with Rapala. Falcon Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted April 2, 2007 Super User Posted April 2, 2007 Rat-L-Traps have been good to me, the don't cost a fortune, even after changing out the hooks, so I stick with them. I have a few Rattlin Raps, but rarely use them......don't know why? Probably just have more confidence in the traps. Quote
Hawgin Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 I have had a lot of success with the Cordell Super Spots (cheaper than rat-l-traps and you don't have to change hooks.) I also really like the new Strike King red eye shad. Quote
linzylou63 Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 I've only ever used Rat-L-Traps and they have worked very nicely for me. Quote
=Matt 5.0= Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 I have had a lot of success with the Cordell Super Spots (cheaper than rat-l-traps and you don't have to change hooks.) I also really like the new Strike King red eye shad. I like the Cordell Spot as well. I have a mixed box of Spots and Traps. Can't find any Strike King's local, might order a couple. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted April 2, 2007 Super User Posted April 2, 2007 I like and use many brands, but the Yo-Zuri Rattlin' Vibe is probably my favorite. Me too! The Lucky Craft LV-Max-500 is a close second and probably my favorite lure to cast. With the wind to your back, 75+ yards is possible. Quote
Super User senile1 Posted April 2, 2007 Super User Posted April 2, 2007 I use Rapala Rattlin Raps the most. I have some Rat-L-Traps, but I have far more success with Rapala.Falcon I use the Rattlin' Raps and Rat-L-Traps equally as far as I can tell. I've had success with both. It seems like I"ve been reading more on this forum in the last few months about people's success with the Yo-zuri Rattlin' Vibe. I'm thinking about trying these out this year. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted April 2, 2007 Super User Posted April 2, 2007 Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap, and the Cordell Super Spot. Quote
Deuceu72 Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 I refuse to throw anything but an Excalibur lipless crank.............. ;D Quote
patbfishing123 Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Last spring I had a lot of luck on the rattlin rapala.. but after a recent trip to bass pro shops I picked up a couple of yo-zuri harcore drums and the excalibur lipless crankbait... GREAT LURES. I have not gotten the chance to catch to many fish yet this year with these lures but just bringing them through the water is great... they can be retreived as slow or as fast as you want and they have super loud rattles great for any kind of reaction bite or for muddy or stained water!!! I'd say my favorite is the yo-zuri! Quote
Fish Man Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 i like the the BPS XPS homers tri vibe.the colors are very realistic an it looks like its made well...an o yea the most important thing is it catches fish Quote
bassmaster8100 Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Bill Lewis, Rat-L-Trap, blue and chrome Quote
jomatty Posted April 3, 2007 Author Posted April 3, 2007 ive been looking at the yo zuri and the different shape that they had made me nervous and i havent got any yet. clearly that was poor judgement as everyone seems to love them. ok they are on the shopping list now. matt Quote
Avalonjohn44 Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 I liked the early ninties Diamond Shad by Strike King. It was different (and better) than today's version. I also love Yo Zuri's Rattlin Vibe... Quote
Other. Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Like some of the others I like Yo Zuri Rattlin' vibe. It works good and it looks so darn shmexy Quote
buzzbaitfool12 Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 Hands down spro arukushad in wild shiner color Quote
Super User T-rig Posted April 4, 2007 Super User Posted April 4, 2007 Lucky Craft LV-500 and Evergreen Whizzer. Quote
Guest Bountiful_Waters Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 Yo Zuri and XCalibur. I never cared for the Rat L Trap because the paint/foil would come off so easy. Now they are trying to fix that issue. Quote
Jeff21 Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 i also love the rapala rattlin rapalas....either the bluegill color or the red crawdad.....about 120 of my 200 fish last year were with the rattlin rapalas Quote
Super User FishTank Posted April 5, 2007 Super User Posted April 5, 2007 XCalibur has been my favorite. They have very sharp hooks and they tend to hold up better than most. Quote
Bass Mekanik Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 Rat-L-Trap with a spinner I think they call them Pro Traps also. Quote
