Suspending lipless cranks
what are some good brands or kinds, i was tieing all of mine on and the straight sinks, thinking of getting some for the shore. so if i am fishing shallow my bait doesnt become a weed catcher.

I'm not aware of anyone that makes a suspending lipless any longer. Bill Lewis Rattletrap used to make a suspending trap, may be able to find some on the secondary market or ebay. I had some years ago, they were a totally different color pattern than the originals, and I didn't really like them. Bill Lewis is the only one I know of that makes a floating trap (in a few regular colors). That's one possibility. The other is to use a normal lure, with a longer rod, hold the tip high and burn that puppy across the top of the grass.

I can get some unpainted blanks that are advertised as suspending...nice baits! They don't come painted, you'd have to paint them yourself or there are a ton of custom bait painters that I'm sure would paint them for you. If you need any help, let me know.

Ive got one of the cotton cordell suspenders,they are not like a jerkbait suspender,they only run so deep,just the opposite of a floater that suspends,so some floation built in ,like the floater lipless,just less of it.The opposite of weight added.Its buoyancy added to a sinker.
I use the floaters a lot and it some,for shallow water the suspender a tad deeper but 8 ft or less.I find the floater a tad more usefull,when going away from the standard sinker. |

I like the suspending traps for dirtier water than what I'd like to fish a regular jerkbait in. They're great above grass also to help call fish out of the weeds.
