Mine is the Rapala DT 10 in brown craw.I throw that sucker all the time and have alot of success with it.Sometimes I find myself throwing it even when I shouldnt be.
If I could have just one, it would be Rapala original Shad Raps. I've caught fish on many, many cranks, but for some reason, I have more confidence in these than any other.
Strike King Pro model.
Rapala DT16, very effective on deep weedlines.
Megabass Bait X concept.

I would have to say its a tie for mine. I like the Cordells Big O and the Bagley BB3 series. I guess it would depend on the lake.

Mine would be a Rat L Trap despite all the bad things said about it on the most popular unproductive bait. I also like the Rapala DT6.

STORM WiggleWart is without a doubt my no.1 crankbait.
I'd have to say that my favorite "go to" lure would be a Rebel Crawfish.

QuoteRapala shad rap and a Rebel Wee R
Have you ever had any success with the Rebel Wee-R I just got one but haven't been able to use it yet it's brown crawdad. Anyway it would have to be Perch colored Rapala Jointed Shad Rap.

THATS WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT!!!
i had a tough time deciding between the DT4 or the tennessee shad footloose.
footloose in tn. shad is a super close 2nd for me, but the DT4 in pearl grey shiner is more versatile, i could crank it like a wake bait if i tried hard enough, and i could probably get it to go 5 or 6 feet if i tried hard enough.
so i put the DT4 before the footloose, but i love em both ;D
