Rapala DT series, all sizes. Also Bandit lures.

Rapala DT Series and my new favorites the Berkleys. I test every new crank in my pool before I go to the lake and while I like Strike King and use them very often, they are far and away the worst out of the box I've come across. The cheap Academy brand are pretty good too.

Hands down the Rapala DT series...never had to "tune" one.

DON'T SLAP A RAPALA AGAINST THE WATER TO CLEAR THE HOOKS OF DEBRIS BECAUSE THE BILL WILL SNAP OFF

 

[Wee-R]

Out of the package... REBEL Wee-R deep running crankbait. Old school stuff. Reliable, good quality and still catches plenty of fish. Also the Shap Rap is always a true runner.

I would agree on the DTs. I use those academy cranks over strike king majority of the time except for lipless.

I'm disagreeing with most of you about the rapalas. I've had the worst luck with anything rapala. And their stuff is cheap made. I've seen the lips separate from the bodies and the bodies split easily. They would be followed in a close second by bandit lures. Cheap everything on those baits.

I have always been impressed by the lucky craft baits and how true they run out of the box.

Dt series is balsa wood and not really made to be slapped. I have found that a sweeping motion slap against the water will clear my hooks of any debris and the bait will last. I throw the DT 6 all year long and the spro shallow and medium divers

 

[rippinlips2win]

Shadrap is one, Ed Chambers baits, Wee-R...

Lucky Craft, Spro, 6th Sense I also like the Azuma line of crank baits a lot over the last year. The Zboss 20 is a great plug
