I am going to try Bondy's crankbait up on LOTW in a week. Should be a good choice for rocks. H20 makes some good crankbaits with sturdy lips that would work too.

Cranes die in the rocks in my experience. Lips break to easy they aren't built to pound.

Give our Bondy Prophet crank a try. We made it with a custom cut aluminum lip just for that reason. Available everywhere.

Livid Fish by Naze Baits worked well on Eagle for me. Pop up fast and the new plastic handle the rocks better than wood.

Musky train MX baits are good in shallow rocks. The 6 and 9 can fish real shallow. The 7.5 runs a little deeper. Nice and bouyant baits.

Muskie Train- MX7.5 straight and jointed are great in the rocks. Done well casting the MX9 on rock reefs also... Shallow Invaders are good too.

I love Smoker Tackle shads for when I want a shallow running crankbait, but living in the metro I don't get much opportunity to bang rocks
