Low Pitch Or Frequency Lipless Crankbaits Help

[MichaelM]

I need help finding some of these. Currently I'm loving my Owner Mira Vibe 83. Another one I've look into is the xcalibur one knocker.

Any suggestions is appreciated. Thanks!

One knockers are going to be to your liking, the Rapala Clackin' Rap is very good and is completely different than the Xcalibur one knockers. The Cotton Cordell Super Spots I put into low frequency range as well, the reason is they vibrate and make noise at slower retrieve rates than other lipless cranks but you have to make sure you get the right ones. There are the ones they have on sale all the time at Wally World that come in a blister pack, you don't want those, you want the ones that come in a box, the plastic is different and they work at slower speeds, the blister packs are either seconds or purposely made cheaper, I'm not sure but the super spot sold in a box is what you want to look at.

x2 on his choices! Also, the wally world specials that come in the blister packs are made from a different mold. If you look at them closely they have a bump on each side about 1/4 of the way down the body.

The 6th Sense   S  n  a  t  c  h  70 FRS Lipless Crankbait is built with a (FRS) Faint Rattle System.

 

It's considerably less rattle than a traditional bait and a one-knocker.

 

Makes it a good choice when you want one step up from silent.

Bill Lewis now makes a one knocker in their traditional Rat-L-Trap

If you google lipless crank In Fisherman breakdown, they once did a chart that broke down every major brand from Hi Pitch, Low Pitch, Slow Cycling, Fast, how they sink, how they handle weeds, silent, one knocker...If you were to compare the sound of the Live Target Golden shiner and Yo-zuri Vibe you notice that they are what I call High Pitch, lots of small bb's, similar to the original bill lewis rattle traps, then if you grab a Spro, Ima, or other brands from House brands etc. you notice that some are mid range, some are low range, kind of like how Bomber makes the HI-Pitch and Low Pitch Badonk a donk, and a one knocker is totally different than hi-Pitch vs. Low Pitch at least from what I have understood, I love a 1 knocker and also love a silent at times, but it is rare that 2 baits sound the same from different companies, but check out that chart, it helps figure out which baits to choose for ripping and swimmning and which baits glide on the fall, sink like a rock, etc....

 

If you fish lipless cranks as a confidence bait, you start to notice that if you have 3-4 brands tied on at one time, one will get more strikes even if all are chrome blue color, also size makes a huge difference...I always go silent or 1 knocker if going behind other boats, most people throw the standard lipless cranks.

 

As mentioned, the Bill Lewis line up has good quality lures that will produce as well as any in my opinion, but they have probably a dozen models that are all different sounds, actions etc....

I'm more concerned with how the baits deflect off rocks or fish through cover than what sound they make. I'm not convinced it makes much difference.
