I need to add a few shallow and medium depth jointed cranks to my arsenal. It seems after looking around that there are alot less of these offered than other lures. I cast and troll . Looking for some recommendations and suggestions. I do have a couple shallow raiders and believers. What are your go to lures of this type? Thanks for any help.

Big Game makes a nice jointed crank in 9". Shallow Raiders in the jointed model have caught fish too. Other wise the Rapala super shad jointed cranks have been effective too, for a smaller profile.

Lots of guys use our Super Ciscos and twitch them in the shallows. Also the Nokken will run shallow. If you wanted a big lure go with the Mag Shad Twitcher.

Tyrant also has the Raz Shad that is a good shallow runner.

My family has had great success using Wiley Lures. You can troll any of them. When I am trolling you can bet that most of the time I will have at least one Wiley in the water. My favorites are the Head Shaker and the Deep Diver for trolling. For casting we have had success with the Jointed Musky Killer and the 6" Jointed Musky King.
