    If you could only use one brand of Crankbaits?

    I throw crankbaits more than any other lure and I have a ton from many companies. The tackle monkey gets me and I want to try everything everyone offers. I was just thinking that it might be easier to pare it down to a small few manufacturers and just use their offerings; with the caveat that there's always that "one bait" that a single company does so well no one can copy it.

    Most of the big hard bait companies have some variant of everything. If you had access to their entire lineup of crankbaits but couldn't use anything from any other brands, which would you choose?

    At one time I'd of said Norman, and then bandit. But right now, of the commercially available options I'd go with rapala.

    I still like bandit, even under pradco's ownership, and I'd still buy normans. I think rapala models you can cover all of the water column better right now.

    Much like the OP I have a pile of pretty crank baits that ride in the boat each year but don’t see water as I stick with a few confidence baits. I’d probably have to go with Rapala if only could have one.

    Check out the 13 fishing baits, the jabber jaw square bill is good. I bought one to try and caught one on about the third cast with it. and they are supposed to be expanding the line of baits.

    Hard to do just one. Poes and old Bagleys has a soft spot for me but also like bandits, rapalas (shad raps & DT series) but almost always have a SK square bill tied on. But I digress. Soooo older made in Finland Shad Raps.
