Favorite crankbait in the 5-8ft range 2024

mrbassky reply : 

What crankbait do you guys like in the 5-8ft range. What bait would you use for fishing stained water with 2ft visability and rocky banks with some wood. 

Personally I like the Wiggle Wart. But there are so many choices.

The fish's favorite is a Bandit 200 or a DT-6 in about any color.

If you're around sunken bushes or wood cover, it's hard to beat a Timber Tiger DC8.

Normans deep baby n. I couldn't catch a bass on a bandit 200 if it was in my bath tub. I am serious about that. I have quite a few bandits and cant buy a strike. I will be pounding them on the normans and throw a bandit to them and nothin. I have done this several times too. Not knockin em,just statin my dilemna.

Early in the season I like a bomber model A in firetiger. Later in the summer I like a rapala dt 6 in perch.

Bandit 200 and Bomber FF Shad

Primus reply : 

Storm Wiggle Wart, Rapala DT 6 & Shad Rap will make good selections for this depth range.

Bigbarge50 reply : 

I might be a little too old school, but nothing has caught me more fish than a Bomber Model A in the Tennessee Shad color.....

Granted that has been mostly in clear water.  There are "sexy" lures now, "fat free", and "pro Models".... but that bomber has been so productive for me.  Might be too old, but if it works, why change. 

I do like the wiggle wart too

When I'm fishing that depth, the first crank I reach for is the original Shad Rap.
