Lucky Craft BDS Fat series 2.

I believe this is what it is called, Lucky Craft has so many shallow cranks and the names are very confusing!!!

Koop reply :

Rapala DT Fat Raps and normal DT series in shad,blue gill, perch, baby bass and hot mustard colors.

Also like strike king sexy shad, think its series 1 is the shallow runner.

PondHunter reply :

Rapala Shallow Shad Rap in the shad color.

BlakeMolone reply :

A black and white original floating rapala will catch anything And there not very expensive.

Pantera61 reply :

OSP DaiBuzzin' or Blitz Max --- Hasu or Ghost Minnow

Quitlimpin reply :

Mann's 1- & Baby 1-

BenoBreath reply :

Spro Little John, shallow runner, in the Cell Mate color.

Mike__D reply :

This isn't really classed under a crank bait but i use it as a full on crank. Tru-Tungsten 4 inch swimbait in perch or blue gill.

If this doesn'T meet your requirements then it would have to be the rapala dt 3 fat in shad.

I just picked a couple of these up when in BPS the other day. I have tried them out, I'm yet to catch to many fish on them. But, that's just because I haven't spent to much time throwing them. I really like their action so far, though.

MALTESE FALCON reply :

Here's another vote for the Bomber Square "A", in Threadfin Shad. If that's not an option, then the Rapala Shallow Shad Rap in Shad or Purpledescent, and Shad.

bigtimfish reply :

bandit series 100 Tennesse shad

BIG M reply :

This is the finest shallow running crank I've ever used. Runs approx 8 inches deep or it can wake with the best.

Great little bait there. I've been killing them on that exact bait/color.

I also like the Lucky Craft Clunn 1.5 in Ghost minnow. BPS still has them at $9.95

AndyPlaysDrums reply :

Would the Rapala Original Floater be considered in this list?

Original Floaters aren't considered crankbaits, but that doesn't mean you can't fish them like a shallow crankbait or wakebait.

Rapala DT-4

+1 its a great little bait.

Primus reply :

Mann's Baby 1 minus is a classic, the Lucky Craft RC series can fit the bill if you keep the rod tip high.

.dsaavedra. reply :

Bandit Footloose (caught plenty of fish on this)

Rapala DT FAT 01 (haven't fished it much, havent caught anything, but i'm confident in its abilities)

Rapala DT FAT 03 (caught plenty of fish on this too)

all of these baits in a shad-type paintjob will do the trick!

KYntucky Warmouth reply :

Manns baby 1-minus, Lucky Craft RC 1.5

fathom reply :

bds 2 in chart/rootbeer for stained.

flat mini sr in ghost sunfish for clear.

iceintheveins reply :

A jointed rapala or manns baby 1 minus.

Micro reply :

Jackall Cherry Zero Footer in any color. But I do best with Sunfish and Ghost.

The OSP Buzz-N-Crank is quickly becoming a favorite. I have a few in clear minnow and crystal blue shiner.

micro, how does the size of the jackall compare to a mann's -1?

Stringjam reply :

As far as baits that are truly designed to run under 2':

Rapala Shallow Fat Rap (eBay only - since Rapala dropped the model.. >)

Lucky Craft Flat CB SR (again...eBay....one of LC's best designs ever bites the dust)

Both of these baits have something most newer super shallow cranks don't have - a TIGHT action.

For baits still around, a Bagley Honey B or KB1 (shallowest versions) can be killers.....I'm more apt to use them in finesse cranking situations.

Norman's Baby N, Nutter Shad color
