What is your absolute favorite crankbait? 2024


fishing user avatar5bass reply : 

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.


fishing user avatarMarty reply : 

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.


fishing user avatarNick.Culver reply : 

Strike King Pro model.

Rapala DT16, very effective on deep weedlines.

Rapala 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.


fishing user avatarJigNBig reply : 

Bandit Footloose in the Tennesee Shad pattern.

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
