Favorite Lipless Crankbait 2024
dropshottah reply :
When Im not dropshotting, I like to throw a lipless crankbait. I was wondering what was your favorite model, size, color. I like the old rattlin rapala and the more recent rippin rap. I used them mostly in murky water, so I go for either a bright chartreuse or a craw pattern.

Me Too ~ !
Both the original and the silent model.
Also Honorable mention goes to the 6th Sense S n a t c h 70 X Lipless bait which is also offered with a nice rattling model and something they're calling FRS - Faint Rattling Sound. A single rubber coated tungsten ball bouncing around in the bait produces something the fish up here seem to really dig.
Both baits have that sweet little shimmy on the fall.

M favorite is the Xcalibur one knocker which is now the Booyah one knocker and while I don't really have a favorite color, I kind of find myself using Tilapia a good bit.
Senko lover reply :
Red Eye shad, Rat'L Trap, and the Super Spot.

Know where you can find more of that color per chance? I found one and it was a killer. I also found they don't fare too well if you slam them off a bridge piling

A place called fish freak online has them listed in the 50 size. I got mine at my Local Cabelas, they were on clearance a few years back for like $1.99 and I grabbed foxy momma and chrome blue but I saw Tilapia and it looked cool so I grabbed one. I was out the next day and that color was on fire, I went right to Cabelas after that and got the last 4 they had in that color. Another one that is hard to find is lemon lime, that is great in dirty water or where there are smallmouth.

Yep, I have Lemon/lime and one of my biggest smallmouth from the lake by my parent's house about ripped the rod out of my hands when she ate that thing.

LV 500/150
Fishes in trees reply :
I own many different brands, but the one that generally gets tied on is an old Berkley Frenzy rattle bait. I like its posture in the water, and how it tends to drop "horizontal" instead of nose first when I stop it. Mind you, I don't stop it a lot, primary retrieve is to tick the top of whatever vegetation is around. When you encounter more vegetation, a quick rip to shed the grass. I like to keep it moving.

They work!!! 
I've also used the Livetarget Crawfish trap, which is slightly smaller compared to the RES. I also like that one too.

ww2farmer reply :
Strike King Red Eye Shad, and the old Xcaliber's...which when gone/bitten off will be replaced by the new/same??? Booyah's. Another sleeper bait that get's little love is the Storm Rock'n Shad, IMHO it's the best lipless bait of the Rapala/VMC group...I like it much better than any of the Rapala branded lipless cranks.
FishTank reply :
The Xcalibers have been awesome for me. I also like Luck Craft's LV series of Lipless Cranks.
masterbass reply :
Spro aruku
LunkerFisher reply :
Chart and orange craw red eye shads, fire tiger or chart rippin raps, and the good ol reliable chrome blueback rat l traps. I have some red ones in there too for spring and fall
the reel ess reply :
Anyone remember this classic? I had several as a kid. I remember catching crappie from time to time on them. I was surprised to find they're still being made and BPS has them.

BayouBoogie.jpgYes , I love them. especially the old ones without rattles. Perch is my favorite and I lost my last one a couple of weeks back throwing it from bank and letting it sink. I knew better than to use it but it was working so well .

kickerfish1 reply :
Don't really have a favorite brand or exact bait. Typically I prefer something in chrome/blue and around a 1/2 oz. Mostly a spring and fall lure for me.
Bluebasser86 reply :
Excited about the new Berkley War Pig, looks like it could be a good bait to me! Excited about all the new Berkley hardbaits honestly, hoping for another affordable option for hardbaits.
Bankbeater reply :
Natural Craw Rat-L-Trap. Can't beat them around here in the spring, and around the spawn.

I think that red face coming right at the fish just makes them strike out of pure instinct.
