Depending on what you fish for, Rapala lures are pretty decent. Any flashy color will have pickerel (pike & muskies, too) attacking. The Husky Jerk and X-Raps are probably the most popular models here in NE Pennsylvania. Most guys use them for river fishing for smallies and muskies. The DT series crankbaits have worked fairly well for me for largemouth in reservoirs, too.
In general, crankbaits and jerkbaits aren't the best weapon for bass around here. There aren't any big shad schools for bass to gorge on like in the south. Money baits here would be craw imitations, topwater fish imitations, and worms of all types.
