I just wanna get some recommendations. It can be a Shallow/Deep, Billed/Lipless. It doesn't really matter. I'm just looking for some suggestions. Thanks!

Strike king red eye lipless/sk kvd 1.5 and 2.5 squarebilles/ 5xd and 6xd/ pretty much strike king cranks all work. Ive tried more expensive lures but the sk's just flst out work.

all of those above, and this sleeper has been really good for me this year.  Mann's Baby 1-minus.

The best all around IMO is a bomber 6A.

I dont know if Rapala Fat Raps are still being made or not , but for years  they  have been consistent producers for me. A jack of all trades type lure, works in a lot of different situations . And Bomber model A's .

Fat Free Shad. If I need to go shallow, a FatBoy gets the nod and for the deeper cranks I prefer a DD22

LC BDS3, Rapala DT 6 and 10, SK 1.5

Norman MadN Bomber fat free shad

Rapala DT Fat 3, Mann's Baby 1 minus and Baby X, Bomber Square A, and the Rapala Fat rap, and they still make them but only in 4 colors. Those are my favorite shallow diving baits for largemouth, mid depth would be the DT-6 and DT-10, DT Flat 7, Bandit 300 series. There are a ton that I really like and what is going to sound strange is there are a lot of baits I like more than the favorites I listed, and before anyone asks why I didn't list baits I really like as a favorite, its because I listed top producers and the baits I reach for when I need to get bit. An example is the Xcalibur XCS square bills, I love the 100 and 200 series, the 100 real craws are killer and it is one of my favorites but the truth of the matter is a DT Fat 3 will out produce it in the waters I fish, the same with that little Bomber Square A, the little bait is 3/8oz, well it is listed as 3/8oz but I can wing it pretty good. Anyway, I will often bang around rip rap the first thing in the morning and if a square bill doesn't get bit after 20 minutes or so, rather than put it away all together I'll tie on the little square A and most of the time I'll get one within the first 10 casts, it may not be a big fish all the time but it draws strikes from both small fish and big ones.

Rapala DT 6 hands down 

Luhr Jensen Speed Trap for shallow,

 

for lipless, I like the Suspending Flatt Shad 77 size by Sebile, it only dives a foot or so and stops on a dime, does not have rattles but puts off plenty of vibration, plus they are weedless if you want to change to a double hook and feather on back instead of paying more for the snagless, plus only the 77 size suspends and has the translucent glitter scale falling off effect and nose down suspending wake action and come with owner trebles....

 

Overall I probably throw the Bandit footloose and Mann's wakes for cranks the most during summer, and for a sinking lipless I like the Spro lipless in chrome blue and orange craw depending on time of year but I feel the Spro lipless crank catches fish all year and is good to fish out of the box at a good price...

 

 

Hope that helps, The Wordens Timber Tiger is a great lure for fishing around heavy cover as it never snags and backs out of anything, and for a super small effective bait the Storm Subwart and Cordell Big O are winners for sure, especially early spring when bait is small.
