As said above flicker shads and shad raps are awesome must haves. Personally my favorite crank is the Rapala Tail Dancer. The tail dancer has great action and walleyes love them, unfortunately Rapala and stores know that.. Look for deals online most places sell them for 8-9 bucks but once an a while you find them on sale for 5-6. I have a few flicker minnows that I have yet to use. I will be interested to see how they compare to the tail dancer as a mid summer crank.
Smash shads are a good value crank also, they go on sale for 2-3 often.
I would bet that in a given year in Minnesota Shad Raps account for over half the fish caught while trolling.
I 100% agree with that statement!
