For a mid range price and excellent quality the dt rapalas are the ticket and make sure to get some of the flat series too they are amazing.Get some brights and naturals.My all time 2 favorite colors on the dt series are yellow w/purple back and plain ol sliver.

Another all around good crank on a lower budget are bandits too.They come in every imaginable color.
