I’m not touching the red part of things. Reds and I can’t seem to get on the same page.

Flat sides & mid-depth Craw Cranks for me.

I remember the light bulb going on after seeing KVD giving the world the chart/blk back 1.5 while the prodigy was almost going fish for fish with him within sight of each other with a Bandit 100.

"It's not the bait! Eureka!"

That being said, one of the H2Os is my favorite spring crank, but many will work.

wiggle warts when it is still cold and a flat sided spro work great

This is like a who's who of highly marketed brand new baits ?

I like crawfish imitators like Wiggle warts and Mudbugs  fished parallel to steep rocky sunny banks .

I mainly use DT-6 and DT-10's in shad patterns. The whole red thing just doesn't seem to work as well to me.

 

I also fish Rapala Brat's and Strike King 1.5 Squarebills. 

 

Looking forward to trying out my new Slim OG-6 baits I picked up a few weeks ago.

Exactly this. All the Curves, Sonicsides, Crush Flats, Rk Crawlers, Warts, and Little Johns and I can throw the better.

Going to try the OG Slim (mediocre reviews), and the 13 Fishing Gordito for this spring.

Rapala DT, don't be reluctant to stop them now and then.  Greens up here in the north.
