Bomber Square A or a Norman Fatboy.

+1   8-)

LuckyCraft RC 1.5 for shallow water

Poes 200 for shallow/mid depths (great heavy cover crank)

Catching Concepts DC2 or Competition Cedars 4400  for low teens

Lee Sisson P-20 for heavy cover deeper than that.  

For shallow heavy cover I use one of my own CS4X4 crankbaits. For commercial baits Norman Fatboy and Mad N are hard to beat. Rapalas and any cover do not work for me, too much lip breakage, the DT series in particular.

Bomber Fat Free Shad in Root Beer, formerly Excalibur baits and Tenn. Shad.

Bandit 100 and 200.  Bandit Footloose if cover is shallow.  

RC 1.5 for shallow water with stumps, logs brushpiles, etc.

Bomber model A for moderate to deep water around anything but weeds.

Lipless cranks (rattle trap) for moderate cover in most depths.

Bandit 100 and LC 1.5 for shallow heavy cover

Bandit 200 and 300 for deaper heavy cover.

all i fish for cranbkbaits are bandit 100 and 200 series and crankbaits i make and rat l traps

Lucky Craft CB-100, without a doubt, Bandits are ok but they hang up too much. This CB-100 is almost snagproof in heavy cover and runs great.   ;D
