what do you think?, i want something pretty affordable, but is durable, and catches fish.

Rapala DT series will give you the best in affordability, durability and will hook a lot of fish...

Bagley's (if you can find them) are still killers for me. KB1s and BB2s, but durability is a concern. 

Catching Concepts are a cedar bait, but they are as good as any Bagley IMO - as far as I know, they are only available on ebay for about 10 bucks a pop, but they are super-durable.

I've done well on the original Shad Raps and have a great deal of confidence in them.

Another vote for the original Shad Raps.

man I love the rapala DT series, but I always lose them because the bill keeps coming off. Ticks me off.

bomber model "b" cranks. kill 'em on this lure in shallow flats.

I've done well on the Rapala DT series baits along with the Shad Raps.

The Rapala wood baits are great and so are the old Bagleys. I don't think the new ones are guite as good.

Put down another vote for Rapala.

Excellent Baits! I forgot about them... They have been in the bargain bins at Cabella's and Gander recently.
