What is a good lipless crankbait 2024
livemusic reply :
Other than a Rattletrap, lol. If Rattletrap is good, let me know! I haven't fished this type bait in 40 years. Lately, I have two reports of good numbers. A friend told me today he and wife caught 67 bass last outing! I know where he fished, we'll see! Do you have a favorite brand/model? What type of line, I guess fluorocarbon or mono? I don't fish much open water and don't like losing baits but I have some spots to go, plus I bought a plug knocker, lol.
DumBassFishin reply :
I think cotton Cordell makes some cheap ones. Of course there's rat l traps. Strike king probably has a KVD and I absolutely love their squarebills.
Unfortunately I haven't successfully fished squarebills before so I'll just shut up now and let someone more expirenced than me give you some advice.

I grew up a Rat-L-Trap kid from my dad, now we both love the strike king red eye shads. Great action, great finishes/selection. A lot of guys on here like using multiple brands due to subtle differences than seem to make a difference sometimes.
Avalonjohn44 reply :
Red Eye Shad is just about all I throw anymore. Great bait.
Catt reply :
Rat-L-Trap
More colors
More sizes
More options
RHuff reply :
Livetarget makes a good shiner lipless have got several on it!
livemusic reply :
BTW, is there a size that is best for bass numbers rather big ones?
Ads7633 reply :
Rattletrap, Strike King Red Eye Shad, Booyah One Knockers, and Spro Aruku Shad are all great and will catch a lot of fish in the right circumstances. I like the 1/2 ounce sizes best.
Gungun96 reply :
Another vote here for the Strike King Red Eye Shad. I have caught countless fish on the gold and black back finish.
blckshirt98 reply :
+1 to the Rat-L-Trap and Strike King Red Eye Shad! The LuckyCraft LV series are also awesome but pricey.
flyingmonkie reply :
SK Red Eye Shad!
Wprich reply :
Rippin rap by rapala and the red eye shad are my favorites

Good burner baits. Stock hooks are sharp.
I throw a spro aruku when I want to fish fast. When I'm yoyoing it's a red eye shad or lvrto. The rattle traps catch a lot of fish but a lot of them aren't lmb
Midwest Fisherman reply :
I've had success with Rat-L-Trap, great success with SK Red Eye Shad and their 2-Tap, also the new Berkley Warpig was a huge success for me. I'm a straight braid fisherman.
livemusic reply :
The 2-tap with the unique sound, that is interesting. Hmmm.
Do you guys have favorite colors?
scaleface reply :
I like them all . The Bayou Boogies work well also .
Midwest Fisherman reply :
Can't say I have a favorite color but I caught 19 over the weekend on these. Top right is the 2-Tap I was throwing.
Catt reply :
#820 Red Chrome.

xcalibur xr75 or xrk75 if you can find them

i like how you have that organized
Alonerankin2 reply :
You can spend more money if you want, but imo, nothing works better than a Rattletrap.
I've used a whole bunch of makers too..

Lol, thanks, I'm pretty OCD.
MountainMan83 reply :
My two most productive lipless here in md have been a Cordell super spot in citrus shad and a red/orange craw sebile seeker.
tholmes reply :
I probably have a dosen different brands of lipless baits and I've caught bass on every one of them. If I had to pick, I'd go with the Strike King Red Eye Shad, followed closely by Rat' L'Trap, Cordell Spot, and Rapala Rippin' Rap. Last fall I caught a lot on the BPS Tourney Rattle bait, and at $1.97 each, I can afford to lose a few.
Favorite colors are chrome/blue or black back, gold/black back, some sort of red craw, and sexy shad.

Spro Aruku Shad is one of my favorites along with I believe they are H2O brand. But the old Rattletrap etc favorites work great to. I prefer the chrome black or chrome blue or the redish crawdad colors.
jbw252 reply :
Strike King Red Eye Shad. Sexy shad or any of the chrome variants.

If you want numbers, throw a 1/4oz rat l trap in silver/black or silver/blue. The craw colors can be good as well during spring.
ibobpeb reply :
Sadly I never have much luck with the Rat'L'Trap and I've given it a lot of time. I switched over to a Rippin Rap in the colors helsinki, red crawdad, and green tiger uv and slayed them. Also catch walleyes on these so it's my new favorite lipless.
Bluebasser86 reply :
I have a few different ones that I like. The now defunct Xcaliber XR50 and XRK50s are my favorites. The Strike King RES and 2tap have grown on me a bunch this past year. The new Berkley Warpig has proven itself to be a fish catcher since I started using it. I have high hopes for the 6th Sense FRS as well.
Ghostshad reply :
I love Yo-Zuri its all i buy but it looks like their killing their color's,or my eye's are shot.

I should start doing it this way I like that
Another vote for the Red eye shad I throw both the 1/4 and 1/2 oz I prefer the 1/4 as I fish mostly smaller bodies of water.... All I use is 3 colors the red craw pattern a chartreuse black back and a bluegill
desmobob reply :
I've had good luck with the inexpensive Cordell Super Spots and good ol' Rat-L-Traps, but seem to do better with the Strike King Red Eye Shads. I keep a variety of colors on hand and along with the traditional favorites, have had good luck with some of the firetiger-type colors and especially the Bill Lewis "Chartreuse Crawdad" color.
Tight lines,
Bob
robster80 reply :
i like the xcaliburs. and of course the red eye shad. caught a pile of fish sunday throwing nothing but a RES. the 6th sense ****** is becoming a go to as well. ive got a handful of both the FRS and the regular ones. bout to order a couple more colors of RES and 6th sense
Wprich reply :
Rippin rap is my favorite lipless, love them for bass, white bass, hybrids.
Bankbeater reply :
Besides Rat-l-traps I like to use Strike King Red Eye Shad and Cordell Super Spots.
HookdUP reply :
I like xcalibur xr50 xr75
6th sense 70x
Red eye shads are hard to beat for the price .: I usually only use the xcaliburs in grass and places without wood these days .
