Hook Set Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I've had lots of luck with Bill Norman cranks, you can find them practically anywhere too. Quote
mase088 Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 For under $10, Rapala and Bombers have been my favorites, but I'm not a big crankbait guy. I haven't tried the minus1's yet but they look promising. Quote
Stringjam Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Rapala (I think you're gonna hear that one a lot!) Storm Wiggle Warts Some of the Bombers (there's just something about a firetiger 7A), also the Flat A. Bagley is priced right at $10......the G-Force B Flat II (both shallow and diving) are GREAT lures. Honey B's, Killr B's, etc....lots of good baits. IMO you're better off getting the 70's, 80's lures on eBay....some of the new ones are really junky. I've picked up a lot of old Bagleys for between $4-$8 on the 'Bay. Quote
Super User skunked_again Posted October 7, 2008 Super User Posted October 7, 2008 bandits are great starter baits. Quote
VikingsFan Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I like Bombers, they work well for me and the price is right. Quote
TrippyJai Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I'm not much of a finesse fisherman so I love crankbaits. They work for me almost every trip. Mainly right now in my tackle box are Bomber Fat Free Shads. They have a tight wobble to them and they work. They are pretty nice baits with a load rattles and they cost about 6 dollars CAD. for shallow runners i like manns baby -1. they are pretty inexpensive as well. Rapala are too expensive for my taste in crankbaits. I don't want to pay 9 dollars for a bait that I might have a chance of losing, but I do have lots of x-raps. Quote
Super User Muddy Posted October 7, 2008 Super User Posted October 7, 2008 Rapalas Bomber 8A's Norman DD22's Cabelas: their version of the jointed glass rap Quote
warmer Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 i was with muddy right up until that jointed business. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted October 7, 2008 Super User Posted October 7, 2008 Anything Rapala or Bandit. Strike King Redeye Shads, Bill Lewis Rat-L-Traps, Manns 1- Elite, Quote
Super User Muddy Posted October 7, 2008 Super User Posted October 7, 2008 i was with muddy right up until that jointed business. I would never have thought myself. I was out of Rapala Jointed Glass Shads and we were fishing the Lehigh River by Allentown, , so I stopped at Cabelas, they were out of the silver ones, so I bought 2 of the Cabelas version. They work great and they are 3.20 cheaper, I am staying with these Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted October 7, 2008 Super User Posted October 7, 2008 I caught my personal best on a Norman Fat Boy, bluegill pattern. 8-) Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted October 7, 2008 Super User Posted October 7, 2008 The ones that I use the most are: Mann's 1-minus Cotten Cordell Super Spots and Big-O's Storm Wiggle Warts Rat-L-Traps Jitterbugs Quote
Super User Bassin_Fin@tic Posted October 7, 2008 Super User Posted October 7, 2008 Storm Wiggle Warts Rapalas-Dt,Fat Rap,Shad Rap Bass Pro Shops XPS and Lazer Eye series Bandits of any type Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted October 7, 2008 Super User Posted October 7, 2008 Bandit and strike king are two good cheapies. Quote
Super User fishinfiend Posted October 7, 2008 Super User Posted October 7, 2008 I like Norman's, strike king, and bandit. Quote
Super User Raul Posted October 7, 2008 Super User Posted October 7, 2008 i wont be able to fish for at least another 6 mos so im living vicariously through my equipment and lure purchases. the next baits i will buy will be shallow to medium depth cranks. whats your favorite crankbaits that are under 10 bucks?thanks -z Nothing can beat the consistency of a Rapala bait in that price range.

brgbassmaster Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 aint nothing like H2O express cranks from academy outdoors and they run true all the time. Quote
BassinWill301 Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Bandits are my favorite. They run true out of the box and have a huge array of colors. Quote
bmadd Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Daiwa Peanut Storm Wiggle Wart Norman Deep Little N-this one will give you trouble but it is a fish catcher. Quote
KevO Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 Rapala DT series. Maybe because they helped me catch my PB today, but they have also caught a ton of other fish for me too. I also like the Strike King Pro Model crankbaits, they are pretty good for $4. Quote
