Depends on the applications!!!

BUT:

Triple D all around best for my confidence! Awesome tool. Love the depthraders when I want to grind rocks and make some noise...Jakes too.

Juggernaut 8 inch Boomerang, hands down the best action I have ever seen on a crank, and you can twitch it to boot. I cought 3 in late september at a lake I will not disclose. Downside is you can rarely find them cause the guy who makes them only makes so many a year and lives in WV . If anyone knows how I can hook up with Mr. Juggernaut let me know.

Without a doubt the Believer is my #1 crankbait because of its versatility. I can troll it down to 21 feet to reach deeper structure or up as high as 6 feet to cover shallow weedlines and rock shoals. I can cast it and crank or twitch it. I can even slowly crawl it across the surface. It's a deadly lure that catches big fish no matter where or how you fish it.

I like a 10" Jake, You can fish twitch it shallow or crank it to the depths...get tired of casting and you have a bait that will troll 15 to 20 ft. Big baits catch big fish.

My new Kieth Eldrap SUPER CUSTOM Triple D is my new favorite. This top secret version of the Trip D is insane!! We call it the "S.O.Trip D".


THANKS to all that posted Triple D.. that means a lot to us at ERC(seriously)

Don't laugh but a 7" Cordell Red Fin has moved more fish than anything in my box. A 5" Slammer in Perch color as caught the most. I'll raise them on the Red Fin and then switch to the Slammer.
Works for me!!

TripleD- Makes all the right moves and can be modified by hook weight to rise-suspend-sink

Original Ernie- Great structural contact and back out capability.Nice erractic action can be acheived over open water

Sinking Shark ( Straight model ) Big fish lure when fished deep. The twin leader attachments give it an unparreled set of options and actions

Cisco Kid-Great open water bait with good action in the right hands

The old 9" grandmas are second to none at triggering fish. Since my supply continues to dwindle due to broken lips, the 10" Jake is filling in very nicely. I don't care for the lip on the new grandmas. I also catch fish on DR's, Ernies, and Bagleys. Can't wait to try a couple DD's this summer, I think they'll really rip.

There's so many good crankbaits out there. The most consistent producers for me have been Jointed Shallow Raiders, Depth Raiders, Cisco Kids, Triple D's, Jakes and Believers. Jointed Believers have been the money makers for me as of lately.

catch ya later,

I'm addicted to erratic action yet am a total control freak with lures. I want to fish fast and I want to fish slow. I fish deep.... I fish shallow..... and often want to do both at the same time. I target aggressive fish but often end up finessing reluctant fish. I don't have a lot of time, so changing lures often is not an option. Oh yeah... and I am brutal on baits so I need something with excellent durability to withstand my abuse, neglect, and tinkering habits. That is why I like crankbaits. I have many favorite cranks... but the two most well known are probably the TripleD and the Jake.
