Hawkeye21 Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Strike King Red Eye Shad in Orange Craw Quote
BigGame0892 Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 My personal best smallie came on a gold XCalibur. Otherwise, usually a RES guy. Quote
Super User ChrisD46 Posted February 18, 2017 Author Super User Posted February 18, 2017 Do Cotton Cordell Super Spots have a similar shimmy and stay upright on the fall as do the Strike King Red Eye Shad ? *Additionally any other lipless cranks mentioned previously with a good shimmy on the fall ?

MikeWright Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 I have some red eye shads...xcaliburs...and rapala Rippin Raps...but nothing beats the old school ratltrap!!! 1 Quote

If there are other lipless baits that shimmy on the fall , someone let me know . The 6th sense 70 shimmies on the fall. I've never used a RES but I'm just following orders as per your instructions. 1 Quote
jimf Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Cordell Super Spot just became my favorite this past weekend when Bass Pro put them on sale 5 for $10. I picked up $20 worth. Before that ... I like anything Rapala and of the course the original Rat-l-trap. Quote
Super User ChrisD46 Posted February 23, 2017 Author Super User Posted February 23, 2017 To clarify - many lipless crank baits fish similar when reeled straight in but for the "lift and drop" tactic the RES may own that category application ... The 6th Sense may have it as well and possibly the new Storm lipless crank baits (TBD) . To me - that ability to shimmy on the fall makes for more versatile lipless crank bait versus the vast majority which just flop over and fall straight down to the bottom ... What says you ? 1 Quote
Super User scaleface Posted February 23, 2017 Super User Posted February 23, 2017 I do a lot of fishing from a flat bottom aluminum boat . When the Red Eye Shad is falling I can hear it going tic, tic tic... Quote
Guest Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Spro aruko shad gets another vote here! Quote
budgetbassin Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Rat-L-Trap and Super Spot for me, but all I do is a simple cast and retrieve with those baits. Quote
HookRz Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 I used to have a favorite...but now you guys got me thinking. That fave was was an old Bill Lewis Sparkle Trap pearl with a greenish back. Haven't fished Traps much since I lost my last one. Quote
