fishing user avatarHop reply : 

What is your most productive lipless crankbait? Right now mine is a 3/8 chrome and blue "bleeding" rattletrap with red hooks but I am looking to expand my arsenal.

Thank you


fishing user avatarvolpster31 reply : 

ive tried others,but i always go back to a bill lewis rattletrap chrome/blue back....i do like the yozuri rattle and vibe, but not as much as a rattletrap


fishing user avatarcajun1977. reply :

fishing user avatarNEBassMan reply : 

Strike King Red Eye Shad in red craw and chrome w/blue back.

bass pro shops XPS tri vibe, 5/8 in golden shiner


fishing user avatarsenko_77 reply : 

Definately would be a 1/2oz Diamond Dust Rat-L-Trap and a Yo-Zuri Rattl N' Vibe in baby bass


fishing user avatarWhiteMike1018 reply : 

Xcalibur makes a really nice trap.

The only one Ive ever caught a fish on -WM


fishing user avatarCulprit reply : 

Bill Lewis 1/2 oz chrome blue back  ;)


fishing user avatarjdw174 reply : 

If I'm tying on a lipless CB, the first one I pick up is a 1/2oz Cordell Spot, chrome/black back that is so beat up from catching fish that it looks like it got beat with razor wire and the nose is a disaster from being banged into objects ;)  But they still blast it.  I've tried Rattletraps from time to time, but I just can't warm up to them.  I do like the looks of the new Strike King RedEye's and intend to get a couple.

I have to agree with your choice, but I use the 1/2 oz more often.

I like the looks of the Spro Arku shad but have never caugh a fish with one. Has anyone had much luck with them?


fishing user avatarThe Next KVD reply : 

1/2 oz. Bill Lewis Rattletraps.  Also like the old Berkley Frenzy rattler's. New ones arn't as good.


fishing user avatarfishinlunatic reply : 

I've devoted the last 8 months to learning how to fish a lipless crankbait. I always have one tied on regardless of conditions.

My favorites..1) EXCALIBER   2)LUCKY CRAFT

The Arku Shad is all I use these days. But my most productive ones are missing most of the paint. I take fine steel wool and rub some of it off. Then it starts catching fish.

I agree. It seem the worse a lipless crank looks the better it catches. Maybe using clear lipless cranks might be a good idea? You guys know if any company makes them?

I've been doing well with this old LC LV-Max 500 lately. Hope I dont loose it. Heavily used lures seem to catch better for some reason. At least for me.

Use it, they work! ;)


fishing user avatarislandbass reply : 

100% of my rattle trap bass have been on Rattlin Rapalas. The others haven't worked for me yet.


fishing user avatarSneakySnook reply : 

Lucky Craft.


fishing user avatarguest reply : 

typically the gold 1/2 oz bill lewis works best,

but there are days when chorme/blue works better.

then some days the lv 500 max is king. in aurora black

and some days the yo zuri with that thumper in a loud orange is a killer bait.

as you can see I love all kinds of cranks.  My crankbait rod is the only one with a snap on it so I can change often.


fishing user avatarhuskyjerk reply : 

My Lucky Craft LV 500 pearl ayu...until I lost it yesterday on Lake St. Clair... >;)


fishing user avatarlovecranking reply : 

Lucky Craft Sammy's & LVR's.


fishing user avatarGorgebassman reply : 

Mine would have to be a Rat L Trap Bleeding shiner in 1/2 oz although I confess I dont use lipless crankbaits very often.


fishing user avatart bend tex reply : 

1/2 oz cordell spot in rayburn red or barfish


fishing user avatarLucky Craft Man reply : 

I used to use Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap, and then Rapala came out with the Rattlin' Rapala, which I used exclusively.  Now I use the Yo-Zuri Rattle-N-Vibe, which seems to be more effective then the other 2.  


fishing user avatarBrad_Coovert reply : 

Spro Arukushads

Lucky Craft LVRD7, LV0, LV300N, LV200

Cordell Spots

I never hit the lake without any of them.

fishing user avatarOther. reply : 

My most protective lipless crank would be the 1/2 Yozuri Rattle N Vibe (I forgot the color name of the one I like however  :-[)

Bill Lewis Rattletrap 1/2 OZ Red Craw.
