Hop Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 What is your most productive lipless crankbait? Right now mine is a 3/8 chrome and blue "bleeding" rattletrap with red hooks but I am looking to expand my arsenal. Thank you Quote
volpster31 Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 ive tried others,but i always go back to a bill lewis rattletrap chrome/blue back....i do like the yozuri rattle and vibe, but not as much as a rattletrap Quote
NEBassMan Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 Strike King Red Eye Shad in red craw and chrome w/blue back. Jason Quote
Fish Man Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 bass pro shops XPS tri vibe, 5/8 in golden shiner Quote
senko_77 Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 Definately would be a 1/2oz Diamond Dust Rat-L-Trap and a Yo-Zuri Rattl N' Vibe in baby bass Quote
WhiteMike1018 Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 Xcalibur makes a really nice trap. The only one Ive ever caught a fish on -WM Quote
jdw174 Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 If I'm tying on a lipless CB, the first one I pick up is a 1/2oz Cordell Spot, chrome/black back that is so beat up from catching fish that it looks like it got beat with razor wire and the nose is a disaster from being banged into objects But they still blast it. I've tried Rattletraps from time to time, but I just can't warm up to them. I do like the looks of the new Strike King RedEye's and intend to get a couple. Quote

bugman Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap crome/blue up north and smokey joe down south. I like the looks of the Spro Arku shad but have never caugh a fish with one. Has anyone had much luck with them? Quote
The Next KVD Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 1/2 oz. Bill Lewis Rattletraps. Also like the old Berkley Frenzy rattler's. New ones arn't as good. Quote
fishinlunatic Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 I've devoted the last 8 months to learning how to fish a lipless crankbait. I always have one tied on regardless of conditions. My favorites..1) EXCALIBER 2)LUCKY CRAFT Quote
Super User Gatorbassman Posted June 23, 2007 Super User Posted June 23, 2007 I like the looks of the Spro Arku shad but have never caugh a fish with one. Has anyone had much luck with them? The Arku Shad is all I use these days. But my most productive ones are missing most of the paint. I take fine steel wool and rub some of it off. Then it starts catching fish. Quote

The Arku Shad is all I use these days. But my most productive ones are missing most of the paint. I take fine steel wool and rub some of it off. Then it starts catching fish. I agree. It seem the worse a lipless crank looks the better it catches. Maybe using clear lipless cranks might be a good idea? You guys know if any company makes them? I've been doing well with this old LC LV-Max 500 lately. Hope I dont loose it. Heavily used lures seem to catch better for some reason. At least for me. Quote
