Favorite shallow crainkbait

Featured Replies

I am looking for something that is 0-2 ft depth...let me know what your favorite is and what color.

Thanks guys,

VC

    Lucky Craft BDS Fat series 2.

    I believe this is what it is called, Lucky Craft has so many shallow cranks and the names are very confusing!!!

Rapala DT Fat Raps and normal DT series in shad,blue gill, perch, baby bass and hot mustard colors.

Also like strike king sexy shad, think its series 1 is the shallow runner.

OSP DaiBuzzin' or Blitz Max --- Hasu or Ghost Minnow

Mann's 1- & Baby 1-

This isn't really classed under a crank bait but i use it as a full on crank. Tru-Tungsten 4 inch swimbait in perch or blue gill.

If this doesn'T meet your requirements then it would have to be the rapala dt 3 fat in shad.

Mann's 1- & Baby 1-

The baby minus 1 in Baby Bass color is always on one of my rods.

I just picked a couple of these up when in BPS the other day. I have tried them out, I'm yet to catch to many fish on them. But, that's just because I haven't spent to much time throwing them. I really like their action so far, though.

Here's another vote for the Bomber Square "A", in Threadfin Shad. If that's not an option, then the Rapala Shallow Shad Rap in Shad or Purpledescent, and Shad.

Falcon

This is the finest shallow running crank I've ever used.   Runs approx 8 inches deep or it can wake with the best.  

bps the egg in xxx shad order off line it getts to you pretty quick thats what i have to do because the closest shop i have here is gander mountian and they are horrible in my opinion growing up with in driving distance to cabelas

manns baby 1 - for me

bandit series 100 Tennesse shad

Great little bait there. I've been killing them on that exact bait/color.

I also like the Lucky Craft Clunn 1.5 in Ghost minnow. BPS still has them at $9.95

Would the Rapala Original Floater be considered in this list?

Original Floaters aren't considered crankbaits, but that doesn't mean you can't fish them like a shallow crankbait or wakebait.

manns baby 1 - for me

+1 its a great little bait.

Mann's Baby 1 minus is a classic, the Lucky Craft RC series can fit the bill if you keep the rod tip high.

Bandit Footloose (caught plenty of fish on this)

Rapala DT FAT 01 (haven't fished it much, havent caught anything, but i'm confident in its abilities)

Rapala DT FAT 03 (caught plenty of fish on this too)

all of these baits in a shad-type paintjob will do the trick! :P
