I just recently started fishing crankbaits with any success and have really taken a liking to shallow, cover bumping cranking.  My question is what are some of yalls favorite crankbaits for bouncing off cover?  From what I've tested of them I really like the Bomber Square A's and the Norman Fat Boys.

Catching Concepts PC2 and KC1

D-Bait standard

Lucky Craft RC 1.5

Bagley Killr B2 and 1,  and Balsa B3

Bomber Flat A (shallow)

Poe's RC3 (okay, not really a shallow crank....but it does it anyway)

Sisson Slim Willie

Zoom WEC Sweet Pea

Norman's Crappie Crankbait (really.....I'm not kidding   )

^^^^ What he said

Catching Concepts....check them out on ebay...the craftsmanship and paint jobs are tremendous.....the prices are also a shocker due to the fact that they are hand made/painted.

I'm sure Whittler makes a great shallow crankbait as well, I can't wait to try them out.!!!!

If you want the big-name brands (they lack the refinement and perfection of the handmades......) I would check out Lee Sisson......slim wille, and also the Skinny P Shallow

I also like the Norman Fat Boy. I use a Strike King 4S, which is like a Fat Boy, series 1, and 1XS.

Big Sissons and RC 1.5

My best producers are the Square A and Shallow Shad Rap SSR05, SSR07

I read the choices above and find it interesting how relative the term shallow can be.I consider Mann's minus 1 a favorite shallow crank well as the bandit lures.

You may want to try this for fun when you are fishing shallow.Cast the lure and let it sit on a semi-tight line, wait,twitch,reel it down and in then let float up.Repeat.It's kind of a cross between topwater and shallow cranking and can get some serious results.Oh yeah it's fun too

Those are two of my favorites. My PB was caught on a Norman Fat Boy (bluegill pattern). Two others you might want to pick up are the Bagley BII and Mann's -1. I bought the Lucky Craft Rick Clunn 2.5 & 3.5, but have not fished them yet. I'm pretty sure these are going to be favorites, too.

I consider <5' shallow and I love the mann's minus 4 crankbait series they catch a ton of fish down here in FL

I cant believe no one mentioned bandit cranks.The 100 and 200 series are my favorites!

Manns -1 and -4 have produce alot of fish for me.

I used this bait in West Toho last Sunday - except not in this hideous color (I was throwing black on silver).  It was 7 feet deep with hydrilla grass on the bottom and I could feel the grass just barely tipping the bait.

It worked great and I'm going to do it again this Sunday in the tourney. It takes a bunch of casts, but eventually the bass hit. Sweeping the rod and then pausing it for a half second.

Rapala Shallow Shad Rap

Thw two baits you mentioned are great.

Lucky Crafts RC series and Fat BDS series are great as well.

Bagley B's as well.

Colder water: rapala shallow shad rap (catches walleye too)

Warm water: mann baby -1, bomber square A, bandit foot lose, cotton cordell big O

This time of year, at least where I live, the ice has just melted and this little flatside handmade will be tied on untill the water temp gets to the high 40's.

          I had my best day of fishing last year using a LC Combat SSR Chart w/Blue back. This crank has the most action of any small crank that I have used and it comes over cover great. I was running it over and around weed beds. The only downfall is the small hooks. Use a soft crankbait rod and mono, you'll need it to land anything of size. I think it came out to 13 keepers in 3 hours, not really sure. That day was a blurr, I was having a blast.  

im having a heck of alot of luck on bandit 100's and 200's as well as 1/8 oz speed traps.

Bandit 100 and the LC RC 1.5 work the best for me.

The RC 1.5 is my favorite but my Bagley's Honey B is catching up quick.  Also love the square A's from bomber.  IMO they are a steal at $1.99 and I have caught boat loads of fish on them.

Ive used the LC RC 1.5 and they have been doing great.  They bounce off timber well too and I dont have to worry about changing the hooks.

timber tiger

Flat A or XPS fat crank  

Aragon SR and SSR

Megabass Cyclone SRX and Griffon Zero

Bandit 100 and the LC RC 1.5 work the best for me.

I love it that my $4 Bandit 100 and Bandit Footloose outproduce my $15 LC cranks. I don't know what it is about those little bandits, but they killed for me last year, in every type of water I fished.
