Jraut98 Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 What lipless crankbait manufacturers make small cranks like 1/4 ounce or less? I need something small. Like 2 inches or less Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted May 26, 2014 Super User Posted May 26, 2014 Cotton Cordell Super Spot, Rat L trap, and also the bass pro shops xps rattle shad is a VERY good one. The smallest red eye is a good one too. Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted May 26, 2014 Super User Posted May 26, 2014 1/4 red eye shad. Fantastic bait 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted May 26, 2014 Global Moderator Posted May 26, 2014 Xcaliber XR25 is a great bait, they even make a one knocker version. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted May 26, 2014 Super User Posted May 26, 2014 I use both the 1/4 oz. XR25 Xcalibur, and the 1/4 Strike King Red Eye Shad. Both are great baits. If you want to go smaller, Rat-L-Traps come in a tiny 1/8th oz version. Quote
Super User Catt Posted May 26, 2014 Super User Posted May 26, 2014 1/4 oz Trap is where Bill Lewis started, the 1/8 oz Trap will get ya some huge Crappie. 2 Quote
Hogsticker Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Excalibur XR25 is my favorite. The TX3 hooks it comes with are fantastic. They aren't small and weak like most found on many small traps. I hate changing trebles. If you're looking for something unique check out the R2S glassi vibe. These things are tiny but cast like a rock. Quote
normmcclean Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Xrk 25 knocker is my go to search bait every time I am fishing a new body of water. That lure is a great indicator of fish conditions. Quote
Super User MarkH024 Posted May 26, 2014 Super User Posted May 26, 2014 1/4 red eye shad. Fantastic bait I agree. Red craw, tomato and sexy shad are great. Quote
Mccallister25 Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 1/4 oz. red eye shad is what I use most of the time in the ponds around here. Works awesome. Quote
tholmes Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 1/4 oz Trap is where Bill Lewis started, the 1/8 oz Trap will get ya some huge Crappie. They're deadly on bull bluegill and trout also. One of my favorite baits for light spinning gear. Tom Quote

tholmes Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Where online can I buy the xcaliber xr25 BPS. Tom Quote
Jraut98 Posted May 27, 2014 Author Posted May 27, 2014 Do you guys think a 1/4 ounce Xcalibur will be too big for perch Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted May 27, 2014 Global Moderator Posted May 27, 2014 Do you guys think a 1/4 ounce Xcalibur will be too big for perch No, but you'd probably be better off with the 1/8oz teeny trap from Bill Lewis for yellow perch. Quote
Super User Catt Posted May 27, 2014 Super User Posted May 27, 2014 Do you guys think a 1/4 ounce Xcalibur will be too big for perch Depends on what kind of perch? I've caught crappie on a 1/2 oz trap, now I'm talking 2-2 1/2# crappie. Quote
jeremyryanwebb Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Xcaliber XR25 is a great bait, they even make a one knocker version. Its hard to beat a one knocker in my opinion. The sound the single rattle gives off is so much less agressive than the original multiple ball rattles but still gives off enough sound to call them in from a decent distance. I especially like this sound for my smaller baits since it is so much less threatening to those reluctant fish. Quote
WVbassin87 Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 I always go with an 1/8 oz. Cotton Cordell Super Spot. i may be targeting bass, but i'd rather catch another species than get skunked. it increases my chances. Quote
