BassFishingMachine Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 X-rap for the colder months of the year, and the Skitter-pop for the warmer months. Quote
boondocks Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Love them all. I'm a big crankbait fanatic in general. Storm cranks probably are my second favorite. I have way to many cranks that I never even use but keep buying more. Quote
bass109 Posted November 23, 2006 Author Posted November 23, 2006 The rapala glass shad works well when you want it to stay suspending. Quote
kfx400rob Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 rapala has too many good lures to have only one favorite, the dts, x raps, shad raps, rattlin, and husky jerks are my favorites Quote
Triton9 Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 i would have to say the shad raps and the husky jerks, i also like the skitter walk. Quote
lubina Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 X-Rap # 8 in Hot Steel and White ( the latest great for Sea Trout and Mackarel too ). DT 6 in different colors Quote
Craw Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Lately the jerkbait bite has been really good, so I have to go with the X-Rap. Quote
directlink Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 I'm a fan of all of the DT crankbaits. They are great quality, and are reasonably priced. Quote
senko_77 Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 If I had to pick one then I would take a DT-10 in bluegill Quote
Super User Alpster Posted November 23, 2006 Super User Posted November 23, 2006 Although I am developing an affinity for the DT series, I still think the original floater is my favorite. Good fishing thread. JMHO Ronnie Quote
Super User RoLo Posted November 23, 2006 Super User Posted November 23, 2006 My favorite would be the X rap along with the shad rap, and legendary original floater You know what, it would be easier to list the rapalas I don't like. I love all three you mentioned (Original Floater, Shad Rap & X-Rap) plus the DT cranks and Husky Jerks. Roger Quote
Pa Angler Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 I don't have any one favorite but if I have to choose one it would be the original Shad Rap it catches everything and I mean everything. 8-) Chow Quote
CyBasser Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 I'm a fan of all of the DT crankbaits. They are great quality, and are reasonably priced. Ditto. X-rap would be my choice #2, and lipless rattling rapala #3, but as other people said, there are probably no rapalas that I don't have at least some affinity to... Quote
jdw174 Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 I'll add my vote for the SkitterPop. I don't have any of their cb's, but do have a couple of the original floaters and an X-rap. Quote
Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted November 23, 2006 Super User Posted November 23, 2006 I'VE PROBABLY CAUGHT MORE FISH ON THE ORIGINAL SHAD RAP THAN ANY OTHER LURE PERIOD. THE X-RAPS ARE STARTING TO CLOSE THE GAP THOUGH. MY FAVORITE LIPLESS CRANKBAIT IS THE #7 RATTLIN RAP IN RED CRAWDAD. IT'S PUT ALOT OF SMALLIES IN MY LIVEWELL. OH WELL, AS HAS BEEN SAID, IT'S EASIER TO LIST THE ONES THAT AREN'T MY FAVORITE. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO THE BASSRESOURCE.COM FAMILY. Quote
Turtle. Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 i fish alot of ponds, rivers,and creeks. the x-rap rules. jmo Quote
justfishin Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 I am not a big crankbait thrower but, as far as Rapalas go, I do like the Shad Rap on the lower Potomac in MD and the no. 10-12 jerk bait suspender in Tenn. Shad on the Upper Potomac and Susquehanna in PA for smallies. They are a blast when the fish are on them! Quote
Yakfish Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 DT's and jointed shad raps have caught me more fish that any bait other than a senko. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted November 23, 2006 Super User Posted November 23, 2006 My favorite is the Rapapla DT6 Silver with the sure set hooks. Quote
Valascus Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 I am all for my DT crankbaits followed up by their shad raps. On a bad day when the bite is tough I can usually tie on a DT-4 or 6 in shad, bluegill, or firetiger and come up with something. Quote
Bass Mekanik Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Gold Huskey Jerk/Gold X-rap for Peacocks. Firetiger Shad Rap RS/Shinner Original Floater for Largemouth. Quote
