Smithwick Rattlin Rogue tough to beat all around for the $.

Hot damn, I forgot all about the Rattlin Rogue. The Dead Stick Rogue is killer when the water is cold too.

I've had issues with the new 110s I've bought...I've moved on.

Riprizers are good, as are the models made by OSP.

Domestically? Can't go wrong with the good ole Rapala.

Are these the JDM 110s that come in the plastic case that you've had problems with?

rapala x rap (10 size). you can get two for the price of a lucky craft and four for the price of an ito.

Yep xraps are awesome baits. Next would be a Yozuri Pin Minnow. BOth are less than 10 bucks and will catch you fish anywhere.

I've had an issue with the blister packaging ones.

I've had the movable balls inside get stuck a few times, and for some reasons, the action on them varies from bait to bait.

Sometimes, they'll suspend with the nose up, sometimes the nose down, sometimes straight...the inconsistency shouldn't occur with the price that they are.

Just like many products, there are alternatives that work as well, or even better than their competitors. It's just a matter of weeding through the masses to find those perfect ones.
