What are the best crankbaits for bass?

Wow! What a question! There are so many different crankbaits on the market today, how could we possibly narrow it down to just a few?

Take, for example, the square bill crankbait, could you narrow it down to your top 5 favorite squarebills? There are hundreds if not thousands of different lures that fall under this category. To pick just 5 or even 10 would be difficult (believe me I’ve tried).

I hope you enjoy!
