Have you tried the TN slim 80's yet?Hogsticker2 wrote:I still think Yo Zuri rattlin vibes and Spro Aruku shads are productive winners, but I've been stocking up on Jackall TN full tungsten, disk knockers, and skull shells.

Re: Best Lipless Crankbait
Yep. Also donated one of them to my local waters brush piles. Nice baits for sure. I'll be keeping them in the rotation. Little different look from the standard fair.BRONZEBACK32 wrote:Have you tried the TN slim 80's yet?Hogsticker2 wrote:I still think Yo Zuri rattlin vibes and Spro Aruku shads are productive winners, but I've been stocking up on Jackall TN full tungsten, disk knockers, and skull shells.

I think that these have been resurrected as the Duel HARDCORE® VIBE 70S with minor modifications. . Hard to tell without having one in hand, but if so it makes me a happy angler.

Re: Best Lipless Crankbait
Had not seen it yet mentioned, but I do okay with the smaller Rapala Rippin Rap lures. I also have a Clown colored Owner Cultiva Mira Vibe that I like. Bought it for like $2 from TW on clearance, been a good lure, the 2X owner hooks on it were worth the price...

This is the way.
Re: Best Lipless Crankbait
I loved the Yo-Zuri Drum and also have one in Painted Shad! On a side note, BPS has a knock off of the Drum that sells for next to nothing and while the rattles are a little different, it's a great bait!

Xcalibur XR50 in chrome/black
They are discontinued, but can still find them on eBay. I've caught 8 or 9 different species of fish on them, and I have 100% confidence in them at all times for bass. Ponds, lakes, shallow, deep, clear, murky, they will work. I troll with them a lot too when searching open water.

Re: Best Lipless Crankbait
Yeah they need to look on eBay and see what those are selling for. I bought about 30 in black/chrome and citrus shad when TW had them in stock before they sold out. Best lure I've ever used.MaxZmus wrote:Pradco made a huge mistake when they discontinued the one knocker series. The original chrome xrk50 was my favorite lipless. Also best bang for the buck too at only $6.99

Re: Best Lipless Crankbait
I can't say it catches any more fish, but it sure is a neat, fun, loud and unique bait.
