I have tons of favorites, but my all time favorite was Rapala's Rattlin Fat Rap, in size 4. The risto rap was a close second, also in size four. d**n them for discontinuing both lures.

i like the bomber model 2A    i also like the shallow Shad Rap from rapala  for river and creek smallies

All Time most productive crankbait would be either a Bandit 200 in Chart/Blue back or a #7 shadrap in Natural shad.

Wiggle Warts and Bomber Model A/Fat A both in various crawdad patterns for me.  

Those little Fat A's are murder on Spotted bass at Lake of the Ozarks.

Rick Clunn 2.5 Copper Perch. Awesome crank.

Norman DD22 color-Slick.

Normans crank baits Tried and true and still producing after all these years in all models.They also do not cost an arm and a leg like most of the Imported ones do.

My favorite Crankbait is a Rapala DT-10 followed by their DT16. Both allow me to really work the bottom bouncing off of and hitting just about everything to induce a strike.

My all time favorite crank bait is the strike king pro model series 1 in the ghost color.

I never met a Shad Rap I didn't like.

Falcon

Rapala JSR's in green craw and perch. Baby bass is close behind but the green craw seems to be irresistible with a reeeeeeeal slow retrieve.

Bandit 100 = Crayfish pattern

RC 1.5 = Bull bream

Who else here misses the Risto Rap and the Rattlin' Fat Rap? Oh, and the jointed countdown (though that's technically a minnowbait).

Bomber 5A series in Baby Bass Orange Belly for lipped

RattleTrap 3/8oz. in Chrome/Blue Back/Orange Belly for lipless.

Excalibur and now Bomber Fat Free Shad series.  

Fat Free Fingerling or Shad for trolling

Fat Free Guppy or Fry for casting in the shallows.

all in Citrus Shad, White, or Shad.  gonna give craw a shot for smallies.

LOVE EM!

Storm Wiggle Wart in early spring and Fat BDS2 Lucky Craft in the late spring and fall.

By far my B-Switcher 4.0 made by Zipbaits! The Orbit 80SR is also my favorite ripbait.  I fish in crystal clear, heavily pressured SoCal reservoirs and these smaller reaction baits consistently catches fish when I fail to produce with traditional Bombers, Normans, Rapalas etc...
