if you guys had to pick, would you pick a spinnerbait or a lipless crank...why?

Spinnerbait-One reason it can be slow-rolled/dragged on bottom.

Never been in a situation to HAVE to pick between owning one or the other.

Silly questions but I'll play along.

It depends on what type of lake and season.

With minimal grass and year round use I'd take the rattle trap.

If lake is flooded with grass then spinnerbait.

Trap

Lipless crank

Spinnerbait.

Pick one or the other for what? General purpose? Grass? Wood? Rock? Open water? Schooling fish? Cruising fish? Isolated fish? Can't choose one or the other, both are essential tools to an angler that is going to maximize his or her success in any given situation.

It's really an apples to oranges question, kind of like if you had to pick one would it be a KVD 1.5 or 6XD. Something like spinnerbait vs chatterbait would make a little more sense.

The amount of grass and/or cover would depend a lot on which one I'm going with. Heavy grass or cover I'm going with a spinnerbait. If it's sparse or deep enough to pull one over then I'll go with the trap.

haha I'm sorry guys i will clarify: submerged vegetation and some logs

Spinner, can be worked many ways.

IDK, ripping a trap thru vegetation is a pretty darn good technique and a spinnerbait and wood...well, that just has a good ring to it.

May I suggest something: Work some overtime and get both...LOL

Spinnerbait. Those treble hooks on a trap will just snag.
