Favorite CB brand??? 2025
Shadcranker reply :
I'm a Bandit and Norman guy myself, although I've been fishing a lot of the Strike King bait lately (Ser 5 & 6).
NEBassMan reply :
always like Rapala stuff, and have great success with it. Decently priced, good selection, and nice patterns.

Tin reply :
Strike King because of there series 1 and 3's. The Red Eye lipless series is the best on the market imo.
Micro reply :
Rapalas and Bombers. Rapalas if I can only choose one.
Jake. reply :
Lucky Craft.
BassFishingMachine reply :
I voted for Rapala because they make some great baits with great prices. I use a decent amount of Luckycraft hardbaits too but the Rapala hard jerkbaits produce better for me then the LC hard jerkbaits. The action of the Lc jerkbaits are alot nicer, but the fish just seem to hit the Rapalas more for me. My 2nd choice would probably be a tie between Lc/Yozuri.
bmadd reply :
Close but Bandit edges out on Strike King...Bandit just has a lot more colors
fishingfourfun reply :
Rapala if I had to choose just one.
RoLo reply :
Bill Lewis (rat-l-trap)
It don't need a lip to be a crankbait

ww2farmer reply :

This site's own Marty Burns (aka Big M)
He can make pretty much anything I want or need from -1' to +20'
islandbass reply :
Another for Rapala as the favorite, but I am not completely loyal to one brand. If I were forced to fish with lures from only one company, I could do quite well with Rapala.
7magJake reply :
None of these. Bill Lewis Lures is my personal favortie. Small company with a big impact on the fishing industry.
Sam reply :
I always check out the Bandits first.
Then the Lucky Crafts.
Followed by the Rapalas.
Then Bomber.
Rat-L-Traps are favorite lipless cranks.
.dsaavedra. reply :
my favorite is by far rapala. bandit comes in second, and bomber in close third.

QuoteWho makes the fat free shad?
bomber used to make it, not sure if they still do, but i know that Xcalibur is making them now.
SBM-RL reply :
not brand loyal at all when it comes to crankbaits probably own 20 different brands of cranks seriously. but my #1
1. Bagely
2.Lucky Craft
3.Rapala
MN Basser reply :
RA-PA-LA!!!
deep-cranker reply :
Poe's, brians bees, rapala, lee sisson, bass hunters custom crankbaits, and persuader lures.
.dsaavedra. Bomber makes the fat free shad. Xcalibur us to make them.
The Rooster reply :
Rapala #1, Bandit #2
T-rig reply :
Right now Tiemco and Nories. I have a new favorite every couple of outings. 
Nories Double Full Size.
Tiemco Diving Pepper.
bassbob08 reply :
if its working thats my fav. at that time.
MaxDal reply :
I voted "Lucky Craft" because those are the ones I use the most !
Like the Moonsault CB, the Fat & Flat CB, and love the RC a bunch.
But I also love them Bagleys. The orig. B2 & 3 ... have an old favorite color...Only have two left though ! It's like a blue/purple back with salmon/pink flanks and pink belly with golden sparkles and a chartreuse tail.... Anybody knows the name ?
As for DD CB, just LC as I said, and also Norman from time to time !
MALTESE FALCON reply :
I have ALOT of different brands of cranks, but my favorite is Rapala, because the Shad Raps, DT's, and Rattlin Raps put more fish in my boat than all others.
Falcon
ba7ss3in reply :
Lucky Craft and the Rapala DT series
Dean reply :
All of Norman's crankbaits get my vote. 8-)
bugman reply :
LC cranks and sticks for shallow and mid depth.
Norman DD-22 for deep water.
bass wrangler569 reply :
I love bomber cranks. Bagleys were a close second.
djmax22 reply :
I am suprised Rapala is running away with the vote. The DT series is nice and I use these lures primarily for shallow water applications. However, IMO the Norman DD22 didnt get enough love in this thread. In the summetime these cranks really start to shine.
Another lure that I havent seen mention is the Wiggle Wart. All that lure does is catch fish and is one of my favorite baits to use in the spring.
FishTank reply :
Lucky Craft and Rapala. I can't wait to use the new DT Fat series from Rapala. It looks like a winner.
burleytog reply :
Rapala = $12 bait in a $7 package

HesterIsGod reply :
bombers are great for their lower cost. I cant come close to being able to afford LC.
