Last year I found from this site the Manns -1 Baby and I had some pretty good sucess with it. The color depended upon the water I guess, but I usually used a black backed with a white belly. I liked burning them across the shallows or just above a weed bed.

How shallow is shallow? For so-called super-shallow water, I use Mann's Baby 1-Minus and Heddon Swim'n Image. The former goes down to 12" and the latter 18".

If we're getting a little deeper, like 3-5 feet, the Shallow Shad Rap is by far my favorite.

I'm not one who places a high premium on colors. Generally I'm using a natural color like shad, bluegill, perch or crawfish or something bright like firetiger or blue-chartreuse.

The new super shallow stealth series Whiz Bang lure in phantom camo color.They're the hottest best kept secret on the planet.The other choice would be the bandit foot loose or baby 1- in baby bass color.

whiz bang now has a stealth? man you newyorkers get to see all the kewl lures before the midwest pnj, its not fair

bassguy2004 · 05-18-06, 10:08 PM

Since depth is a relative term, I'd say speed trap. In the Delta Craw or fire tiger.

kickinbass54 · 05-18-06, 11:07 PM

Check your local tackle store first, also I found some at the local Wal-Mart before, either that or order them online.

A Strike King 1XS, Mann's Baby -1, and a Strike King 4S. In clear water I like rootbeer and in stained water I like chart./black back.

They should be available in a good tackle store or sporting goods store. Online, BPS will have them, as will many others, and I'm not sure offhand if Mann's sells direct from their site.

rrw4258 · 05-19-06, 08:38 PM

its hard to beat the Cotton Cordell Big O, its my favorite crankbait, i have almost every color! And they are available at Walmart, for only 3 bucks each! My next two picks are the Mann's Baby 1-, and the Rapala DT-4!
