Best crank I have had success with in cold water is lucky strike freak. Not a flat sided bait by any means but has produced. The only flat I have is the KVD 1.5, and it has produced better in the summer go figure.

I’m not quite sure of the rational of flat sides and cold water. All Cold water is not created equal. I’m in the north east. My winter cold water has got to be different than that of a St. John’s River guy. 

The 6th sense flat 75 is a killer I crank a ton in cold water and that's one of my favorite baits

What is cold water to you? Not having to be exact where are you fishing this cold water?

 

Im trying to make this association between cold water and flat sided baits.

Thanks if you reply. Down right cold up here in the North East. 

Flat 75 gets choked

 

 

 

 

Bill Norman Thin N, for shallow presentations and the Bomber Deep Flat A for deeper.  The SK flat 1.5's lip is too wide for the tight wobble I prefer and the Livingston, although I do like them, are just a little pricey for my budget.

Cold water here would be around 42. So deff not cold as our friends from the north.

6th Sense 75X

Rapala Shad rap for me. Size 5 or 7 in the original silver with black back.

Great topic as flat sided , billed crank baits are a category unto themselves for sure ...

Thanks for the replies guys. Have most of the baits listed. Gonna have to pick up a few. I'm into the balsa flat custom baits. Threw the trap this last wk in TX water was 52 but wasn't happening, caught em on the jerkbait. I was throwing the MB 110 and my buddy was smokin me w the Rapala x rap lmao.

I like the bomber fat free series of baits,  some of the original poes were good,  Spro made a crankbait called a prime 2.5, bandit had some good baits as well.
