I really like the Xcalibur one knockers but I also like the Rapala Clackin' Rap and the new Rippin Rap. There are days I really like the old school Rat-L-Trap and if I need to go slow but still make noise I reach for the Cotton Cordell Super Spot. I don't really have a favorite as I found that out of all the brands there are times when one will really do well while others not so much. As I said, Super Spots if I need to go slow as they work better as slower speeds than the others but there are times a one knocker is just the ticket so my favorite you can say is all of them as they all work and some better than others under certain conditions.

Cotton Cordell super spot in the citrus shad color always catch a few on it.
Raul reply :
I have Rat LTraps, Rattlin Raps, Cordell Spots, Strike King Diamond Shad, Bobmer Rattlin RRR, Bayou Boogies, Heddon Sonics. In my experience you want to have different brands, all sound different, all catch fish but there are days one work better than others.

River2Sea Tungsten Vibe, Jackall TN, duo realis g-fix
TheSmilingSwordsman reply :
Cotton Cordell Super Spots - Inexpensive and effective.
RatLTrap - does anyone dislike these?
Xcalibur - Good colors with a great finish and quality hooks straight from the box.
ww2farmer reply :
I am partial to the Strike King Red Eye Shads. I like all three sizes, and both the rattling and silent versions. Chili craw, albino craw, and jap. shad are my best producing colors.
Heron reply :
Im partial to Red-Eye Shads as well
Fishes in trees reply :
I've got a bunch of them - different brands. The one that gets thrown the most is an older Berkley Frenzy in a thread fin shad color. I like how it is shiny. I like its profile while it is running - more horizontal. Spots and Rattle Traps tend to run more nose down for me. I've got a few of the Red Eye Shads, but I don't think that they are any better than the Frenzy. I've only got a few Frenzy baits left. Once I lose those, (hopefully never) I'll probably throw the Red eye shad more.
Stingray23 reply :
I have a lot of lipless cranks but my top 3 are the original Rat'L'trap, SK red eye shad, and Xcalibur Xr50
Jrob78 reply :
I'm going to give the Duo Realis lipless baits a go this fall and winter. My favorites are the XCalibur XR50's and XRK50's, SK Redeye Shad and Lucky Craft LVR D7's.

I completely agree with you, Raul. I used to think that rattle trap type baits were all one in the same. I was proven wrong in a club tournament 2 years ago. I was throwing one of my Rat-L-Trap brands and not getting a bite. The boater I was with threw me an extra one of his X caliber xr50 (out of pity) and I started bringing them in.
I now have a wide variety of brands, sizes, and colors at my disposal.

I got one of these in the gold black color through the flea market from another member, and was floored by how well it worked. Nice little bait even with the rather steep price.
You won't be disappointed!

I've got 5 or 6 of their other baits that I've been using this summer. I've been really impressed with all the baits I've used so far. The finishes are great, the hooks are great and the baits have all caught fish. I don't mind paying a little more for a really good bait and I think these are. I hope they come out with more lipped crankbaits soon.
richienyc reply :
Xcalibur one knockers are awesome. Ridiculously durable paint finish, great colors, great hooks out of the box (If i remember correctly, i just always replace mine), casts like a bullet and a killer especially in colder water. They have a really unique sound to them because they only have one rattle. I would highly recommend them if you want to try out a lipless crank.
Ginosocalbass reply :
anyone ever use any of the Sebile stuff? The Flat Shadd? or any of the new Lipless Seeker and Vibe
Primus reply :
The Sebile Flatt shad is very underated in my opinion, one of the best out there .
Bankbeater reply :
Rat-L-Traps and Cordell Spots. Usually if one doesn't work, the other one will.
Jack44 reply :
Red eye shad seems to be the most effective out of the ones I've tried which are the cotton Cordell and Rat L Trap. However every couple of casts the back hook will usually get wrapped around the line which can be bothersome. I don't see this happening as much with the rat l trap and cotton. IMO the cotton doesn't swim nearly as well as the other two.
Ginosocalbass reply :
Do you guys find the rattles to be mostly detrimental? I know the redeye shad and now the bill lewis rattle trap, as well as the sebile flat shads all come in silent models.
fishballer06 reply :
The original, Bill Lewis.

I have a few silent trap type baits. One of them being the Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap. Never caught a fish on any of them.
I'm going to remove them from my tackle box by the end of the season. I'm sure they work somewhere, but not on my lakes.
FrogFreak reply :
How about the H20 models from Academy? They are nice and cheap. Anyone have any experience with them?
Jigfishn10 reply :
I have Rattle Traps, Cordell Spots, Bayou Boggies, Rippin Raps, Red Eye Shads, a Kinami Rattle Flash and Rattlin Rapala, all purchased through-out the years and they all have different qualities to them and have their time and place. This one by far has been my biggest producer for the last 2 years:
A Janns Netcraft Lipless Crankbait, add the hooks of your choice. I bought 5 different colored baits for under 3 bucks each. Couldn't be happier with the results.
GoDeep reply :
Strike King Red Eye Shad are my go to lipless crank, but I also like XCalibur XRK50s/XR50s, and Academy's lipless cranks. They all have done very well for me, but If just one....gotta go with the Red Eye.
