Discontinued, but I've caught the most bass using the Lucky Craft LV RTO 150.

There was a an older Cultiva lipless that I can't find that was near magic as well.

Yo zuri and lock the thread. You don't need some weird evergreen or lvo150, or god knows what other enthusiast tackle someone on here bought. The rattl'n vibe 5/8oz. is the original and best. So many people on this site just grasp at straws buying rare, overpriced junk tackle.

Every now and again you pull a winner , plus it’s kinda what the OP wanted

To the OP, what did you decide on?
Would a hand made one be off the list?

Ima suspending vibe 70. Slow fall suspends rather than crashing to the bottom like a rock. Deadly. Nuff said.

Can’t go wrong with a Red Eye shad or Booyah one knocker. I also miss the Lucky Craft GP 200 Spin for 5-6FOW. Those were magic. The little blade on the chin of the bait drew strikes when fish got conditioned to everything else.

Still haven't managed to catch anything on this one. Great lure though.

I’d suggest to keep throwing it. I like sexy minnow color. I rip through shallow grass and it gets crushed on pauses typically. I tend to pick places apart. I’ll use it as a search bait as an alternative to squarebills and vibrating jig. I’ll also use it as a clean up bait when I think I can still get a reactions bite after other baits stop getting bit. Only thing I don’t like is how absolutely inhaled it gets on pauses. Usually that’s not something people complain about. The larger gauge hooks usually scoop rather than damage gills, but it latter has happened to me which pisses me off. If it gets hammered on the pause, nowadays I’ll fight the fish gingerly until I figure out how it’s hooked.

Right on. There needs to be more suspending lipless cranks on the market.
