Rat-L-Trap
They're cheap, they catch fish, and come in about every color and size you need. Also, you can beat 'em off rocks all day long. Hard to tear up.
islandbass reply :
Rattlin' Rapala. 
T-rig reply :
LC LV-500 Max
ABC123 reply :
I have a 'Trap or two, and I have a handful of Rapala's I got cheap last fall. Not knocking the Rapala's, they seem to work fine, but I think if I had pick one brand, I would go with the original's. I don't see any "improvements" made to it by other company's, only their "version" of it.

Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap ½ oz
Color: RT820 Red Chrome
jdw174 reply :
1/2 oz Cordell Spot, chrome/blk back.
dman reply :
34 oz Xacalibur in Royal Red
Under the Radar reply :
Spro Arucu Shad75 or jr. in Wild Shiner or Black/Gold
Hadn't thrown cranks of any kind much before last December. Had a couple of "Traps" in my box, then the sales manager at the Stratos Dealership recommended the Arucu Shad. It's been good to me for the last two months. Sure it's a few $ more that the RT but fore me the diff is worth it. At least for now
Disclaimer:
these are the opinions at this time however they are subject to change after the next outing.
MALTESE FALCON reply :
Rattlin Rapala, I've had alot of success with them. I have a bunch of Rat-L-Traps, and have had very little success with them.
I did pick-up an X-Calibur Xr50, and a couple Strike King Red Eye Shads to try this season.

Every year at a fishing flea market, I purchase some Sugar Shads. These aren't the ones that Luhr Jenson sells. These are the originals that were left over from when Luhr Jenson purchased the rights to the Sugar Shad. Pro fisherman Bernie Shultz is at this flea market with his wife every year. The story is that his wife is the daughter of the guy that sold the lures to Luhr Jenson. Any way, Original Sugar Shads in gold / black back.

Rat-l-trap
But I use Rat-l-trap,Rattlin rap or Berklet Frenzy ratt'ler....I dont know why ,maybe the differant sound frequency but sometime 1 will out-fish the others
SPAZ reply :
I've had the most success with two of them. Lucky Craft LV-500 Max and XCalibur XR50.
Stringjam reply :
FWIW.....Rat-L-Trap is not the "original".....the Cordell Super Spot predates it.
I own at least 20 different kinds of vibes from both inexpensive (Cordell, Bill Lewis, Rapala, etc.) to high-end (Shimano, Daiwa, Ever Green, LC, Jackall, CLU, etc...)....and it's amazing how different the characteristics of each one are - - some are more specialized than others, and really excel in certain conditions.
That said, if I were only given 1 single vibe to fish in any/all conditions, it would be the Cordell Super Spot.

ww2farmer reply :
Rat-L-Trap for me, in fact it's the only brand I fish now.
=Matt 5.0= reply :
Really impressed with the Strike King Red Eyed Shad. Bought a few last year, had good success. Also caught a bunch on the Yo Zuri. I might be addicted to lipless...have over 25 now from different manufacturers.
BassFishingMachine reply :
For me its currently a Rapala Rattle Trap, but I plan to try Rat-L-Trap's, and LC Lv-0 this year, so will see what happens
alger319 reply :
