Silver w/black back and bluegill colors work for me.

Sizes 11 and 13 for the Original Floater and the 3/8 oz. Shad Rap.

They've already been mentioned but I agree that the DT series cranks, original floating model, X rap & Shad raps would be great additions to anyones arsenal. I've also been hearing good things about the DT Fat shallow runners but it's a bait that I haven't got around to using yet, maybe I'll try it next season.

DT Series.

My favorite thing about Rapala is their natural finishes like the Bluegill and Baby Bass baits.  The DT cranks are all I really use and I don't use them much.  I also like the shad-raps.

skitter prop. best prop bait on the market. especially after it receives a custom paint job by dsaaavedra.

The discontinued Down Deep Rattlin Fat Rap 5 & 7 in Natural Shad. I'm down to my last 6 and I sure wish I could find more of them.

My very favorite rapala for  deep applications for smallmouth is a deep tail dancer TDD09 dives to 20 feet. Best colors for me are clown on cloudy & sunny days & perch on sunny days. I caught my biggest smallie on them. Best shallow application is the original floating rapala in F11 or F13 size pick a color.

Another i use but for Lake Michigan shore salmon

Is the j-13 fire tiger

around here in my home lakes   sr-7.s---best

but use #6---7---8---#6 when there hitting short   &7all the time and 8 when large mouth are hitting good.

DT is my favorite.

like them all though.

Huskey Jerk, H-J 12 or 14. Oh yeah, I forgot the best top water lure on the market, IMO, the skitter walk in bluegill.

X raps are not bad. does anyone ever use the rapala sub walk?

Another vote for the DT series. Also the Xrap, and Ratlin' Rapala.
