Your Favorite Rat Trap Bait

[booneangler]

Just wondering if you guys prefer the Rat L Trap brand or X Caliber or the Strike King Trap?

[BassinWill301]

I like the original Rat L Traps and Xcalibur brands.  They are both good in my opinion.  The Xcaliburs have great colors, and I like the way they shimmy when the fall on slack line.

i have been using the Red Eye Shad. They seem to be good i bought a 3/4 ounce today in sexy shad.

SPRO ArukuShad Jr.

The most weedless lipless on the market, period. I would not dare to fish anything else in the swampy lakes I fish.

$5.99 at Goose Mountain

I also like the redeye and ArukuShad Jr.  The Aruku shads are very weedless and they sit upright on the bottom, people say they make a good bed fishing bait, but I have never used them for this.  I would recommend any of these models mentioned.

I lean towards the original rattle traps,simply because their stocked in our walmart in like 10 colors that I like ;D

[fathom]

lc lvr's in ghost minnow is a good one, as well.

that said, there is always a chrome/blue rattletrap somewhere in the panic box.

The rapala raps work well for me, they're a bit cheaper than the originals too.

I like the XPS, I have caught a lot oof nice size bass with them.

[jared...]

i use both the x calibur and the rattle trap. and in my opinion a rattle trap cant be beat. but i have caught fish off of others.

[Bankbeater]

I like the Rat-L-Traps, and the Cotton Cordell Super Spots.

I have caught 80% of my fish this year on a Red Eye Shad. Its the best lipless crank I have ever thrown,but I do still keep my rat-l-traps in the box.

My personal favorite is the Berkley Frenzy Trap and the Red Eye Shad. I can't even count the number of fish I have caught on the Berkley Frenzy.

[fishfordollars]

Original. Just have to change out the hooks. I will not throw one without the change

[MALTESE FALCON]

For some reason, I've never had any success with the Rat-L-Trap. I always did very good with the Rapala Rattlin Rap. This year I tried the XCalibur Xr50 and Strike King Red Eye Shad, with fantastic results. I would give a slight edge to the XCalibur Xr50.

I like using origional rat l traps, rapala rattlin' rap, or strike king red eye shad

[hawgchaser]

All the above! I have been very impressed with the red Eye Shad. its a great bait....

[Primus]

I've done well this fall with the Yozuri, Strike King and my wildcard has been the Sebile Flat Shad which is silent and does well in clear water lakes and when the fish are spooked out by the rattles.

[BassFishingMachine]

My favorite is a Lucky Craft Lv-0, simply because I fish from shore, and 99% of the water I fish is very shallow (1-3feet commonly), the Lv-0 seems to adjust itself in each level of water it enters, mostly staying the middle depth, and rarely ever catching any weeds or gunk on the hooks. Plus I've caught plenty of bass on em .

Although as "cheap" alternatives I like Bill Lewis Rat-L-Traps (the hooks are crap though..), and Rapala rattle traps. Ive also heard some great things about the yozuri rattle traps but have yet to try one.

[adclem]

I like the Rapala as well as the Strike King Red Eye Shad.  Sounds like there is a couple others I need to try as well.

Later,

looks like a lot of people really like the red eye shad.
