I haven't been throwing crankbaits much in all the time I've been fishing,but a Rapala DT6 or DT10 has been getting a few fish for me lately. I'm about to upsize things and start throwing a DT16. I also have had some success with the smaller Excalibur/ Bomber Fat Free Shad crankbaits. I have probably 40 different cranks of all makes,sizes and depths,and the Rapala DT's and Fat Free Shad are what I reach for the most.

I guess it's hard for me to choose a favorite, they're all different and based on the particular pattern I'd have a favorite bait for the pattern. I fish a lot of the LIttle John Series, a lot of Lucky Craft Fat CB series (particularly the D20), and a lot of the Strike King XD series. It all depends on the conditions and the fish.

Since my two largest bass came from a Rapala (Glass) Shad Rap, I guess that has to be my vote.

I like the ones this guy likes...

Not really a crankbait but my PB was on a Rapala Husky Jerk (don't know the size off the top of my head). I just slowly reel them in with a few short pauses.

DT-16 cause a caught a pb on one

Mine as of this past weekend is the Storm Arashi square bill in the black silver shad color.  Caught a 4lb bass on my 5th cast. 

There are way too many choices out there for me to pick one as a favorite. I fish crankbaits a lot and have in my tackle box right now Norman, Bomber, Rapala, Strike King, Bandit, Rebel, Xcalibur, H2O Express and a few others. All have their place and time.
