Those are great crankbaits Adam.  I don't throw a ton of lipless crankbaits anymore, as I really prefer crankbaits with bills on them, but when I do fish em, I really like the action, look, and price of Yo-zuri rattle n' vibes. 

 

 

I use the koppers live target golden shinner you can buy it at auburn sports and marine, i think they are one of the best lipless out there

LV500
I like the Yozuri Rattlin Vibe and the original Rattle Trap.  I know it pays to have a couple of different baits.  They seem to prefer one over the other depending on the day.  Make sure you change the stock hooks out. 
I like the red eye shad myself in the colors you've chosen.  I've found though I really like gold in different combo's.  There's an assortment of rattLtraps in my box too that have boated a number of fish over the years.

LV100 and LV500 and the Yo-Zuri Rattle Vibes

I like the YO-ZURI Rattlin Vibe lipless cranks.  Have fun out there.

LV500 and LV100

 

I like all of them, like WCCT said, the fish really like a certain sound over another depending on the day.  I have done well on the LV-300 non rattling, the LV-200 ( has a metal plate inside) the LV100 glass and brass beads and the LV 500.  Each bait has a different rattle or sound, the others I always carry are the red eye, TD Vibe, the XR series and some one knockers. Rattlin Rapalas and original Rat-L-Trap also get some play.  When a lipless bait is what you need to fish effectively depending on cover and situation, it pays to dial in the exact bait or sound they want. Colors I think play a secondary role which also should be payed attention too, but I think the sound is the big key to these baits. 

Ron, 

Do you mind expanding a bit on when it is that you feel a "lipless bait is what you need to fish effectively...?" The couple of lakes I frequent are full of vegetation. My one lipless crank has never seen any play. Just not sure when to throw it.

 

Thanks, 

Matthew
