Stay Buttoned Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 From what I've seen, an angler can spend $30.00 or more on a lipless crankbait (rattle trap style) The bait monkey is strong, but not THAT strong. What's everyone's favorite lipless cranker for 3, 4, maybe 5 bucks? Strike king red eye shad is about 6 bucks which is nice but still a little expensive when you want to buy 8 or 10 of them. Any one have any great experiences fishing a good yet inexpensive lipless crank? Bluegill is the main forage in many of the ponds and lakes I fish. Thanks! Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted June 17, 2015 Super User Posted June 17, 2015 I've done well with the H20 lipless baits from Academy. You can find them in the $3-$5 range. 4 Quote
ibobpeb Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 I just get them on ebay for about $2 a piece. Works all the same to me. In fact I just bought a lot of 12 the other day for $25 and free shipping. Quote

These lipless baits from academy are just plain out awesome at a great price, pretty much all their hardbaits are freaking awesome. Their squarebills are great too 2 Quote
Super User tomustang Posted June 17, 2015 Super User Posted June 17, 2015 Any H2O hardbait is worth it Quote
jbw252 Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Yup - the Academy brand H2O XPress are good, too. Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted June 18, 2015 Super User Posted June 18, 2015 X6. My LMB 9.5 PB was caught on an Academy H2O "Rattlin'T" lipless crank. Quote
Super User HoosierHawgs Posted June 18, 2015 Super User Posted June 18, 2015 Like Xcalibur the mist but they're a little more change. Next choice has to be BPS XPS for $4.29 Quote
kikstand454 Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 H2o express. In all honesty, its seems like thats all I buy anymore. Quote

Jaderose Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Cotton Cordell Super Spot. I like them about as much as the Rat-L-Traps and have caught as many fish on them Quote
Super User MarkH024 Posted June 18, 2015 Super User Posted June 18, 2015 RES when they're on sale. You can almost always find fishing lures/products for less than MSRP on the internet. I can't remember the last time I bought ANYTHING fishing related at full MSRP. Be patient and buy when the deals are there. The only time I ever will pay full retail is if I'm in a bind and have no choice. If and when I buy RES....i'm usually getting them in the $3.50-$4 each range. I won't do your shopping for you, but you can find these deals to if you look hard enough and there are plenty of other members here that know that's the truth. That includes all the JDM tackle you see as well. 1 Quote
