What is your favorite flat sided crank bait for cold water cranking  - plus list a few colors you like to have on hand for Winter ?

Berkley Frittside would be my bait of choice, mainly the #5 in special red craw, lone ranger, and Kentucky blue. 

I fish a few older Rapala flatsiders. Fished a couple of OG Slims this past season.  I don’t relate them to cold water. I’ll fish them all season. Seem to produce spring thru fall, if fish are interested. The Rapala is like a DT but flat. Discontinued quite a while back. 

I picked up a few 13 Fishing Flat Daddy's this past summer to use in the fall/winter. I'm very impressed. They have a nice tight wobble, decent hooks(I always change mine out anyway) and the colors are awesome. I used the Mudbug Punch, Tweetie Pie, and Dream Gill colors. All colors caught fish. 

I've actually been trying out a few different 13 Fishing hardbaits and like them all.

Same here but in colors of chart,/blue back and chart/black back. Actually I have caught bass all year long on the Frittside, it's not just for cold water.

6th Sense Crush Flat 75X has been a solid producer for a while.

Quality bait the comes with good  stock hardware. 

It has a decent following and has been mentioned a bit here before.

The Baby Bluegill is my favorite pattern

Zoom Tapp.  Looks like the Black Label knockoff version is called the slim DD.

Shad rap!! I don't know if it is considered a true flat-side but I don't care!

 

The original silver and gold, plus yellow perch color, plus crawdad color.

The DT -7's are my favorite

I stocked up but the supply is dwindling

Dang, how dare you do that to the megabass perch

I still like the old Bomber Flat A except I dont do a lot of winter fishing . The chartreuse one is a boss out on big river dikes .

Spro Lil John. It’s a river killer all year long 

jackall bling is at the top of my list - they’re a super hot commodity

Spro little John md.  Both the silver olive and chartreuse blue back killed it all spring and summer last year.  
 

the kvd 1.5 flat sided crank bait would come in 2nd 
 

I’ve got some Frits flat sided cranks but, never used them 

 

ive got 6-7 DT 10 &15’s but, I don’t do well on them. 

frittside, little john md and the sixth sense crush all produce well for me and as others have said, i catch fish on them all season. i think the clear pressured waters i fish that tighter wiggle just seems more natural and gets bit.

13 Fishing at first seemed to be a fly by night type of brand, but I myself have been pretty impressed with there baits as well. My wife bought me a 3 pack of purplish colored craws that I just swore on sight alone wouldn’t catch even a tree limb…boy was I wrong. To answer the original question I have had really good luck on the bass pro clearance bin flat siders. $1.99 each at the time and I got four one day and they all produced fairly well until I lost them like I do with everything with a treble hook.

Lucky Craft Flat CB MR in just about any color. 

I own several brands of flat sided crankbaits. Rapala OG, Spro Little John, Berkley Frittside, 6th Sense 75X and Megabass Sonic Side.  I have had the most success with the Frittside and the Spro Little John. 

Spro Little John. Cell Mate and Blood Craw are my two top colors

I like the Little John, but the 6th Sense has been outfishing it by a mile. OG Slim is working well for me also. 

Thanks for the replies - more brands of flat sided cranks than I was aware of !
