Less expensive lures:
Cotton Cordell "Spot", lipless crankbait that looks like a Rattle Trap but not as expensive. Works as well IMO.
Rebel Pop R, Very good surface plug that won't break the bank.
Heddon Baby Torpedo, Old surface plug, still works.
Rapala X-Rap, Not cheap but works, only dives about 4/6 feet.
Beetle Spin, Use lighter wts. keep it moving.
Senko or Senko type plastics, Senkos aren't cheap but they catch fish and often do well weightless. They get tore up if there's a good bite but you're not going to lose them on a slow day and if there's a good bite they're worth it.
Some say non name brand knock offs do as well as the more expensive originals.
