I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on a flat sided square-bill crank bait? i am looking at the bandit flat maxx but im not sure

Take a strong look at the 6th Sense crush flat 75X. They are very productive.

Norman makes a fat sided crank that runs 2-4ft.

The bluegill pattern (I forget what they call it) is a killer a

on the inside weed line and shallow dead falls. I tried untuning one to purposely run to the left for fishing docks, but haven't put it to the test as of yet.

Take a look at the thread above titled battle scar lures.

I favor the Lucky Craft KJ Flat.

Poe's RC-1

Big M makes some outstanding flat siders. Reach out to him.

My favorite is the Rapala DT Flat 7 and Flat 3, awesome flat sided cranks. I like them in colder water but I also use them in summer, sometimes that tighter action is all it takes. My next one will be the Yo-Zuri 3DS flat crank, 1/4oz and 2' diving depth, that should make for a nice post frontal crank around shallow wood.

Academy has a flatside sqarebill in their H2O line.

Poe's RC-1

I have a brand new one and an RC 2 .

6th Sense Crush 75x is the best flat sided squarebill I have used to date.
