Mostly Red Eye Shads and mostly in 1/2 ounce. Color?  Does it matter...;)    I use Sexy Shad, Orange Belly Craw, Chartreuse Baitfish, Ghost Minnow, and other colors.

 

Actually, my 9.5 LMB PB was caught on a..............wait for it...............Academy H20 Express "Rattlin T" in blue over chrome.  That bait is somewhat of an XCalibur XR50 clone...:lol:

Red eyes here too....  Sexy shad, bone. That is my go to, throw it at anything lipless.  The Cordell spots run a little shallower then the RES, and i will use them over grass if needed.  Plus if you can Find any of the old spots, they are a "one knocker". I have turned bad days good with those!

 

I used the rippin rap a lot last year. The Bass pro silent version, and the rattling caught a lot of fish for me last year. I have some rattlin rapalas, and the will work once in a while too.  Thats the best thing about lipless baits, they are alot of cheap ones, so you can try a bunch of them and see what works!

 

Good luck!

Red Eye Shad 1/2 Ounce Bluegill

Cordell Super Spot 1/4 Ounce Wounded Shad

Rat L Trap 1/4 Ounce Baby Bass Orange Belly

1. Rapala Rippin Rap

2. Spro Aruku Shad

3. Strike King Red Eye Shad

All of them!   :eyebrows:

 

I use lipless cranks a lot, and I probably have at least 6 different brands in my tackle box at all times. There are subtle (and not so subtle) differences in fall rate, vibration, etc. that can make a difference. 

 

Colors? That's easier.

1. Chrome

2. Red craw

3. Sexy shad

4. Everything else.

Xcalibur's have amazing finishes and just catch em. Red eye shads are pretty solid as well

I agree.

Haven't tried any yet, but stocked up on them this past winter... I will say that my Xcalibur ones sure are pretty!

The Aruku Shad in Perch color is deadly. ;)

It works real well in one of my ponds and there's not even perch there .

Yo Zuri vibe is pretty killer too. Gold with orange belly for smallies. Going against the grain here. I have no love for the red eye shads, or many SK hardbaits for that matter.

I have a bunch and they all have a specific condition in which they get used. Cotton Cordell super spot, royal shad or royal chrome and blue shiner, these are the best when you need a bait to vibrate at slow speed. Rapala Clackin' Rap in silver or gold, these are loud one knockers that do well in cold water when it is clear. The Xcalibur one knocker in lemon lime or tilapia for stained water in late spring, and a few others for good measure but these are my work horse baits, and the rattlin rapala is one that works really well in certain area for me as well.
