Not a flat sided bait by any means but has produced. The only flat I have is the KVD 1.5, and it has produced better in the summer go figure. I’m not quite sure of the rational of flat sides and cold water. All Cold water is not created equal. I’m in the north east. My winter cold water has got to be different than that of a St. John’s River guy. 3 Quote
Brock_v Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 The 6th sense flat 75 is a killer I crank a ton in cold water and that's one of my favorite baits 2 Quote

Not having to be exact where are you fishing this cold water? Im trying to make this association between cold water and flat sided baits. Just now, Spankey said: What is cold water to you?

Down right cold up here in the North East. Quote
papajoe222 Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 Bill Norman Thin N, for shallow presentations and the Bomber Deep Flat A for deeper. The SK flat 1.5's lip is too wide for the tight wobble I prefer and the Livingston, although I do like them, are just a little pricey for my budget. Quote

Fishingmickey Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Rapala Shad rap for me. Size 5 or 7 in the original silver with black back. FM Quote
Super User ChrisD46 Posted December 11, 2018 Super User Posted December 11, 2018 Great topic as flat sided , billed crank baits are a category unto themselves for sure ... Quote
TxHawgs Posted December 11, 2018 Author Posted December 11, 2018 Thanks for the replies guys. Have most of the baits listed. Gonna have to pick up a few. I'm into the balsa flat custom baits. Threw the trap this last wk in TX water was 52 but wasn't happening, caught em on the jerkbait. I was throwing the MB 110 and my buddy was smokin me w the Rapala x rap lmao. Quote
Heartland Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 I like the bomber fat free series of baits, some of the original poes were good, Spro made a crankbait called a prime 2.5, bandit had some good baits as well. Quote
