At the moment, I like a clear, deep diving Yo-Zuri that I won in the raffle last week! It's great in the grass beds. Work it slow along the surface, then dive it down and let it float back up. Good bait!
(though I didn't win anything with it)
To be honest, I pretty nuch only use cranks in the fall when that bite gets good. I prefer blades simply because trebles are a pain in the butt. It's easier to remove 1 barb then 6. And it's more weedless. I'm just not a fan of crankbaits.
