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.

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.

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.

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

Nothing can beat the consistency of a Rapala bait in that price range.

aint nothing like H2O express cranks from academy outdoors and they run true all the time.

Bandits are my favorite. They run true out of the box and have a huge array of colors.

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.
