Ozark_Basser Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 If I had to pick favorites in that depth range, Rapalat DT series Sixth Sense Spro Quote
rchiuz Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 That's a lot, what would be your top 2 ? Quote
War Eagle 44 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Spro LJ DD is one of my favorites. The 6XD is also a very good deep crank, and no self respecting angler would do without a few DD22's. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted January 20, 2015 Super User Posted January 20, 2015 The Luhr Jenson "hot lips" are a great crankbait in all Depths, but I warn you they can be hard to throw. I think it's about price, really, soo how much do you wanna pay per bait? Quote
Super User Angry John Posted January 20, 2015 Super User Posted January 20, 2015 There is a new duo deep diver that might be worth a look Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted January 20, 2015 Super User Posted January 20, 2015 DD22's and 6XD's would be my two picks 3 Quote

JGBassinAL Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 I throw a Spro Little John DD and Strike King 6XD in those depth ranges. The only other deep diver I throw is the 10XD, and it get's thrown 90% of the time. The 10XD always produces fish. 1 Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted January 20, 2015 Super User Posted January 20, 2015 10XD would def be a great choice. 1 Quote
papajoe222 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Norman's and Bomber Fat Free Shad. The FFS won't get down to 20ft. but will hit 16ft. on a decent cast using 10lb. Quote
TorqueConverter Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 DT14, 16, 20 are great and catch just about anything that swims. If your looking for something to dredge/drag/bounce off the bottom by selecting a bait that runs many feet deeper than the depth of water then stay away from the DT series. Their bills can't handle being fished that way. Quote
Comfortably Numb Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Get the Norman DD22. You can find them used for like $2-3 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 20, 2015 Global Moderator Posted January 20, 2015 Strike King 5XD and 6XD would be my top choices of baits that I've used. I really like the looks of the Duo bait but I haven't fished one yet. The Spro Little Jon DD is a really good bait with a different sound to it. 1 Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted January 20, 2015 Super User Posted January 20, 2015 If you guys have not had the chance to use the Sixth Sense Crush 300DD, you owe it to yourself to give it a try. I think these are the closest thing to a custom bait that you can buy in a retail type setting. I have had good luck with these baits, and will bet you will also. They also have the 500DD that is listed as reaching 20-28ft. Best thing is they are inexpensive at 7.99. All in all a very solid bait. Quote
Lunker Huntin Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 DD22's all the way pretty much the only deep diver I throw, have a box full of them can't beat the performance, color selection, and the price is great., they have put a lot of nice fish in the boat. Quote
Super User HoosierHawgs Posted January 20, 2015 Super User Posted January 20, 2015 Your able to get Deep Little N's and Bandit 300's 15+ feet deep?Light line! Quote
flipin4bass Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 I'm going to try the LC X-14 and X-18 this year. (top row in pic) They look promising and the bills are tough. I think with a little added weight I can get the X-18 to 20'. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted January 20, 2015 Super User Posted January 20, 2015 SK 5xd's and 6xd's are my top two. I can get both 20+ feet deep long lining, and the 5xd will hit 12' or so on a normal cast, and the 6xd about 15' on a normal cast. Slightly deeper (a foot or two) if I am really bombing them out there. Quote
