For the past 10 years this has been my number 1 crankbait.

LC 1.5 in Copper perch?  Good one for sure.  Not sure I could narrow it down to just one.  I love several LC, bagley, and WEC baits. 

Bandit 100

Toss up for me between a rapala dt and a spro rock crawler.

That's a good one for sure. My favorite varies day to day. This one was my favorite yesterday...

I don't throw lipped cranks very often..the most productive of the past 5 years for me would be a bomber square a or a size 5 frittside.

Over the past 10 years my top crankbait has been either a Mann's baby one minus, or a KVD 1.5.

Honorable mention = LC BDS 1.2

 

Now I have hundreds of crankbaits but these are the ones that I rely on.

Forgot the kvd 1.5 shallow has done some damage the past 2 summers as well

Day in and day out a LC RC 1.5 in chartreuse sexy shad has been my most consistent producer. But pre spawn I will always have a pre-rapala wiggle wart in natural brown craw tied on.

Great list, that and a couple of Fat Free Shads, and have most everything covered.

My number one is on a log at the bottom of the lake.  I'm trying to find a new number on.  Maybe I just need to buy more.

Discontinued storm subwart.

Been a fan of the kvd 1.5 for sure, but the last couple years for me it’s been this guy and his shallower swimming brother in this colour. I love that “random” hunting action it does, and so do the smallmouth and largemouth around here (and some good sized pike as well). 
Edit: it’s a Rapala Scatter Rap
