Love them all. I'm a big crankbait fanatic in general. Storm cranks probably are my second favorite. I have way to many cranks that I never even use but keep buying more. ;)

The rapala glass shad works well when you want it to stay suspending.

rapala has too many good lures to have only one favorite, the dts, x raps, shad raps, rattlin, and husky jerks are my favorites

i would have to say the shad raps and the husky jerks, i also like the skitter walk.

X-Rap # 8 in Hot Steel and White ( the latest great for Sea Trout and Mackarel too ).

DT 6 in different colors

Lately the jerkbait bite has been really good, so I have to go with the X-Rap.

I'm a fan of all of the DT crankbaits.  They are great quality, and are reasonably priced.   ;)

If I had to pick one then I would take a DT-10 in bluegill

Although I am developing an affinity for the DT series, I still think the original floater is my favorite. Good fishing thread. JMHO

My favorite would be the X rap along with the shad rap, and legendary original floater

You know what, it would be easier to list the rapalas I don't like.

I love all three you mentioned (Original Floater, Shad Rap & X-Rap) plus the DT cranks and Husky Jerks.

I don't have any one favorite but if I have to choose one it would be the original Shad Rap it catches everything and I mean everything.  8-)

X-rap in any color  ;)

Ditto.

X-rap would be my choice #2, and lipless rattling rapala #3, but as other people said, there are probably no rapalas that I don't have at least some affinity to...

I'll add my vote for the SkitterPop.  I don't have any of their cb's, but do have a couple of the original floaters and an X-rap.

I'VE PROBABLY CAUGHT MORE FISH ON THE ORIGINAL SHAD RAP THAN ANY OTHER LURE PERIOD. THE X-RAPS ARE STARTING TO CLOSE THE GAP THOUGH.

MY FAVORITE LIPLESS CRANKBAIT IS THE #7 RATTLIN RAP IN RED CRAWDAD. IT'S PUT ALOT OF SMALLIES IN MY LIVEWELL.

OH WELL, AS HAS BEEN SAID, IT'S EASIER TO LIST THE ONES THAT AREN'T MY FAVORITE.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO THE BASSRESOURCE.COM FAMILY.

i fish alot of ponds, rivers,and creeks. the x-rap rules. jmo

I am not a big crankbait thrower but, as far as Rapalas go, I do like the Shad Rap on the lower Potomac in MD and the no. 10-12 jerk bait suspender in Tenn. Shad on the Upper Potomac and Susquehanna in PA for smallies. They are a blast when the fish are on them!

DT's and jointed shad raps have caught me more fish that any bait other than a senko.

I am all for my DT crankbaits followed up by their shad raps. On a bad day when the bite is tough I can usually tie on a DT-4 or 6 in shad, bluegill, or firetiger and come up with something.

Gold Huskey Jerk/Gold X-rap for Peacocks.  Firetiger Shad Rap RS/Shinner Original Floater for Largemouth.
