Favorite shallow running crankbait 1-3 ft.

[bpNClgmouth]

I love using shallow running crankbaits this time of year right after the spawn.  Anybody got a favorite they use?

[roadwarrior]

I caught my PB on a Norman Fat Boy, bluegill pattern.

Other suggestions include Bomber Square A,

Bagley BII, Lucky Craft (Rick Clunn) 1.5, 2.5

& 3.5 and the Fat CB series.

Lucky Craft RC 1.5.  Don't be scared of the $15 price tag this bait will flat-out catch you fish, worth every penny and more.

Rapala DT3 & DT4 & LC RC 1.5

Back it up with a Speed trap.

For smaller I like Strike King Series 1 or Bagleys Balsa B2.

original floating rapala.

add a split shot 6-12" in front for more depth.

There are a lot of good subsurface cranks out there, my favorite is no longer made: Rapala Shallow Fat Rap, man, those are feesh ketchin machines.  

[Primus]

The RC 1.5 is my alltiime favorite but don't overlook the RC 0.5 in the Ghost minnow color which has bailed me out a few times when fishing clear water on sunny days.

[NOVA Angler]

Not much love for the Mann's Baby -1.  By far my most productive shallow crank.  Any of the firetiger colors are my favorite.

[aarogb]

    There is nothing better than a Rapala Fat DT 3.

[rboat]

On that RC. 1.5 which color do you like best?

[iceintheveins]

Storm Subwart and Manns Baby 1 Minus.

[bassin is addicting]

Not much love for the Mann's Baby -1.  By far my most productive shallow crank.  Any of the firetiger colors are my favorite.

yea. why is that?  i thought it was one of the best??   :-/

and i just went and bought one last week...    >

obviously the RC is getting the raves....but it is twice the money...

curious, why no one really is mentioning Mann's Baby ??

The RC is well over twice the money.  I have been getting the baby -1 for $3 at my local Dicks.  Doing well with them too.

Like others have said, the RC 1.5 is my favorite. I like the Copper Green color the best.
