Looking to add a few to my arsenal...what are some good ones out on the market today?

hard to beat a jointed rapala.

For up top, the rapala guitar kid mentioned is still my favorite bait. They dont cast that great, but make a nice subtle splash when they land.

My alltime favorite though, is the Heddon Zara Gossa II. They have been discontinued for about 15 years, Flea bay has a bunch for cheap however. Not much to look at, but they have the action of a sluggo in the water. Great junk fishing bait.

Rapala also has a new balsa bait with the Xrap foil they released at Icast. I have no experience with it but I'm sure rapala hasnt let me down, well except for the sub-walk

^{Just read about the shallow jointed shad rap. Looks good for 0-5 of depth.}

^{My son has always had luck with smaller sizes of Rebel jointed minnows. Black with the chrome sides in 1-7/8 and 2-1/2 inch sizes}

I thought the title was a spoof off of Broke Back Mountain.

Twisted humor.

Same twisted humor here.
