I love the way the Rick Clunn Lucky Craft 1.5s look, bought 3, haven't used them yet, and the Megabass Cyclone and Type X frogs are beautiful to behold and fun to fish, my favorite crank is one of the cheapest of all - A Bandit 100 in chartreuse back/white OR in splatterback.  Time and time again these lures produce numbers and quality.  Last summer I threw a bandit almost all the time and had one of the most fun fishing seasons that I can remember.  This summer I'm trying to mix it up, but I always keep coming back to that darn Bandit 100.

I like that answer...pretty much sums up my favorites like the B2 in Black/Pearl or Tennessee Shad, Fat CB BDS 1 & 2, RC 1.5 and 2.5, etc.  

[Siebert Outdoors]

bandits and dd22's are my favorite.

I did just get a few from Big M on here and I'm sure these are going to become my favorite.  I like the way they work alot better then standard off the shelf baits.  

[Infidel.]

Right now it is a deep baby N in the Bummble Bee color.  But If I only had one crank it would be a bluegill colored DT-10.

i just cant seem to NOT catch fish on my shallow wobblers

[GrandSlamBasser87]

I don't really have a favorite and use a variety ranging from Strike King, Bandit, and Bomber series crankbaits.  Whichever bait will cover the depth I want and has the design/ colors I like, I will use it.  I have caught bass this year from a Baby 1-minus running it over shallow weedbeds to a Bomber A series 6-8ft down on points and sumberged structure.

Having some good luck past couple of weeks on Lee Sisson Balsa's I got on clearance from BPS.  The Tennessee shad and black pearl are working the best.  Also, really digging my new elite bream got from Custom Lures Unlimited.

[Sam]

Bandit Firetiger and Blue and Chartreuse.

For some reason those Firetigers do great on Virginia rivers.

Shad color for Virginia lakes.

[FishTank]

I like Lucky Craft Flat Mini MR's in Chartreuse Shad and Ghost Minnow.

[WBFishing]

DT 16, DT 10, or DT 6 in Bluegill.
