Flat sided crankbaits?

Featured Replies

I’ve have 6th sense and BPS flatsider….. I like both, but BPS flatsider has one color “American Shad” that really works for me.

 Black back, deep blue edges going to green, with flashy cut outs on the sides.

I just got to quit loosening them, I’m up to 3 or 4 snagged so far.

I only use two different brands. Berkley Frittsides, and Rapalo OG slim.

I'll bring up the Megabass Sonicside and Evergreen Flat Force 4. I like both of these.

All of the aforementioned baits are good.  I would mention the Bandit Flat Maxx as another great option.  The 6th Sense Pressure series is an excellent as well. You will have a smorgasbord of lures to choose from.

The 6th Sense Crush Flat 75X Crankbait has been a staple on Lake Menderchuck for over a decade.

However, over the past few seasons, the Megabass Sonicside Crankbait

has been making a run for the top spot.

I appreciate all the suggestions. I wasn't aware of most of them. I'll have to try a good smattering of them.

I've acquired a Rapala OG slim tiny 4, and so far, though I haven't caught a fish on it, I like it. It really deflects good when it hits an obstacle.
