I fish a lot of Bandit 100 and 200 series crankbaits, but not because I like the action or because they run true out of the box (often not the case).  I love them because they make the best color for fishing the Potomac river.  Tie on a "humble bee" 200 and you will catch tons of fish.

If I am not on the river then I throw lucky crafts most of the time.

bomber, or strike king for sure

Rapala's are very nice if you consider them cheap.  I would say they are more like on the bottom end of expensive.  Very nice though.  

As far as truely cheap everyone really needs to try Academy's H20 Xpress cranks.  Good colors and run great.  I probably would of never gave them a shot, but fished a buddies all day before I figured out what it was.  The square billed ones bounce of timber very well.
