I throw ALOT of lipless cranks.
I use em all.
Ratltraps work fine, but changing out the hooks is a pain.
LC's especially the LV500 max work very well for me
can't say too much about the cordells - not a great producer for me.
Yo-zuri hardcore drum has been a very nice surprise.
Spro Aruku Shad
I really like the rapala ones. They catch a lot of fish for me.

The above. Plus Yo-Zuri Livebait Vibe....
Cordell Super Spots and Rattle Traps. In the spring on the Lower Potomac a 1/2oz chrome with a blue back is a killer. I throw the factory hooks in the can when I buy these lures and put on no. 4 Excalibers.
Strike King Diamond Shad
I'm a big fan of Lucky Craft lipless but rat-l-trap is a great company to use as well.

Excalibur............They are the only lipless cranks I'll throw. They are extremly LOUD and the colors scheme and finish are great. I swear by them. They are a bit pricey but well worth it IMO. ;D ;D ;D
I use mostly Rattlin Rapalas. I just bought a couple Excaliburs, but havent had a chance to try them out.
QuoteYo-Zuri /Duel Hardcore Drum
Love it.
Also the LV 500
The Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap keeps me happy.

Rapala's work well for me, Rat-L-Traps too

I would have to go with the rattle trap just because I havent fish with many of the others.
LC all the way
Xcalibur for sure, they are awesome and the colors are perfect! I also love Cordell super spots, they have a great acton and will catch bass fo sho!
You can't touch this
I have a ton of rat- l - traps, rapalas, and so forth and I can't catch a fish on them to save my life any suggestions I figure I am not using them at appropriate times not to mention. I get discouraged easy. I know you guys are gonna make fun of me. But alot of times I never throw more than a jig and t- rigged super hawg. I catch fish shallow cranking but not on traps. Oh well help me out guys. My goal for 07 was to become more versatile. What are the best colors. I have a ton of them but maybe I am missing the best colors.

IMO rat-l-trap style baits are best in two situations. First is around schooling fish. In this situation you cant fish it wrong. Reel it back fast or slow, jerk it, pause or stop it. Second is in the prespawn, over submerged vegetation. In this situation, rip it and let it settle back to the grass. This is the best way to cover water in the prespawn, and a guaranteed fish-getter.
