Whats your favorite Shallow Crankbaits 2025
BassFishingMachine reply :
Hey, I did pretty well with shallow cranks today, and I hear there a great bait for fall. So my question is whats your favorite Shallow Crankbaits? The one I've been doing with is called a Lucky Craft Fat cb I believe (Small bill, fat body).
By the way, any great colors for fat shallow crankbaits? Such as black/blue is to the jig.
Jake. reply :
Lucky Craft RC 1.5, or 2.5 If you are going after bigger fish.
Bandit Footloose, A classic that catches alot of fish, but make sure to change the hooks on the older models.
Lucky Craft Flat Mini SR, A killer bait that doesn't get the recognition it deserves.
Zoom Sweet P: Awesome lure.
Stringjam reply :
Big M "M-Flat" (check the Tackle Making section for his stuff)
JawJacker Model B
Flat-Shad Rippit, and the Classic PT is killer in cold, clear water.
Zoom WEC Hicky and Mutt
Spro Little John
Rapala Shallow Fat Rap (you'll have to find these on eBay, they disc. them).
O.S.P. Blitz, Blitz Max, and HPF Spec 2
Bagley KB1 (with the small round lip)
There's many more, but these are some of my favs, and are all readily available and easy to get.

because of tropical storm hanna hanna all of the waters that i fish are very muddy for the time being. lately i've been hooking some good ones on a strike king series 4s crank in black back chartruese. that color shows up really well in the muddy water and the baits rattles are really loud.

The rapala shallow runner in shad color has probably been the most productive cb I have ever used. It's amazing how many fish I've caught with it.

BassFishingMachine reply :
As im looking at all these shallow crankbaits, im seeing some in black. Anybody do any well with black crankbaits at dusk/night? Or am I better off sticking with a black or blackblue jitterbug/spinnerbait/chatterbait?
Jimzee reply :
All of the above for me. Yes I do very well on black cranks at night. I will go and buy several cranks at a time and paint them all flat black and then put a coat of Devcon 2 Ton on top of the paint. Works real good for me.

Black can work just as well in the middle of the day - in clear water or dirty. I've had one in the rotation just about all year and it's been very consistent.

I have been slaying them on 3 cranks this so far this early fall:
RC1.5 Blue back/chartreuse
Megabass Griffon in a color called Crack Jungle (green back, clear sides, orange belly)
Megabass Cycloe Black and Yellow. All are 0-4 foot divers and have caught 30 bass in the last 3 trips (dinks not included!)
I also love the Bandit footloose and 100 series, I just can't put down my megabass baits yet...
TournyFish001 reply :
RC 1.5 or 2.5 depending on what they want, if they are really agressive then Luhr Jensen speed trap- These two are all I need for shallow runners.
Bankbeater reply :
Mann's 1- and the Storm Sub-wart.
Munkin reply :
RC 1.5
Bandit 100
Mann's baby 1-
Allen
Avalonjohn44 reply :
There are a lot of people saying the Mann's 1minus bait. I have several and have never caught anything on them. Aside from that, I have had several of mine have break too, their lips have fallen off, or cracked down the center... I dunno, maybe I got a few from a bad batch, but this has been a bad luck bait for me...
basser89 reply :
Bandit Footloose and 100 series here.
guitarkid reply :
I kind of like the sub wart, but I only have one shallow crank. Does anybody know where I can get more sub warts?
