When Im not dropshotting, I like to throw a lipless crankbait. I was wondering what was your favorite model, size, color. I like the old rattlin rapala and the more recent rippin rap. I used them mostly in murky water, so I go for either a bright chartreuse or a craw pattern.

Me Too ~ !

 

Both the original and the silent model.

 

Also Honorable mention goes to the 6th Sense  S n a t c h  70 X Lipless bait which is also offered with a nice rattling model and something they're calling FRS - Faint Rattling Sound.  A single rubber coated tungsten ball bouncing around in the bait produces something the fish up here seem to really dig.

Both baits have that sweet little shimmy on the fall.

M favorite is the Xcalibur one knocker which is now the Booyah one knocker and while I don't really have a favorite color, I kind of find myself using Tilapia a good bit.

Red Eye shad, Rat'L Trap, and the Super Spot.

Know where you can find more of that color per chance? I found one and it was a killer. I also found they don't fare too well if you slam them off a bridge piling

A place called fish freak online has them listed in the 50 size. I got mine at my Local Cabelas, they were on clearance a few years back for like $1.99 and I grabbed foxy momma and chrome blue but I saw Tilapia and it looked cool so I grabbed one. I was out the next day and that color was on fire, I went right to Cabelas after that and got the last 4 they had in that color.  Another one that is hard to find is lemon lime, that is great in dirty water or where there are smallmouth.

Yep, I have Lemon/lime and one of my biggest smallmouth from the lake by my parent's house about ripped the rod out of my hands when she ate that thing.

LV 500/150 

I own many different brands, but the one that generally gets tied on is an old Berkley Frenzy rattle bait.   I like its posture in the water, and how it tends to drop "horizontal" instead of nose first when I stop it.  Mind you, I don't stop it a lot, primary retrieve is to tick the top of whatever vegetation is around.  When you encounter more vegetation, a quick rip to shed the grass.  I like to keep it moving.

Strike King Red Eye Shad works and it won't break the bank...lets you be a little more brave in dodgy cover!

LV 500/150

Rat-L-Trap 1/2 oz Red Chrome or Toledo Gold!

I'll throw in the Spro Aruku Shad to this list too, a tad more expensive that the Red Eye Shad, but not quite as pricey as the LV 500
