Bass Tackle Suggestions

I'm creating a tournament care package for jr. I've got plenty of soft plastics, hooks, weights flipping and finesse jigs. Also we won $500 Booyah spinnerbaits at the Classic so we're stocked there. I'm mostly looking for that obscure crankbait that every tackle box must have. Something I may have overlooked.

I have caught a chitload of tournament fish on Shad Raps back when I used to fish tourneys. Natural shad, and the Vampire colors are good anywhere.
You might want to add a few square bill crankbaits to the mix. They are pretty weedless and catch a lot of fish on reaction strikes.
I have some old Bagleys that are no longer made, but most manufacturers make a fat bodied square bill design anymore.

One lipless, I prefer silver/black tiger stripe. Rat-L-Trap.
One square bill shallow runner. Baby T or Baby T 1-
I hardly ever use crankbaits. Don't have a lot of success with them.

Shad Raps and Yellow Magic, thanks I had yellow magic in mind as I haven't gotten any topwaters except frogs but this seals the deal on these two for sure.

I think they closed that loophole also but can't recall the exact rule. Frickers try to make it hard to catch fish. Dang near have to be a professional.

Bagleys has changed hands a few times after Jim Bagley died. Their quality went to crap, but they may be back up to speed now. Lee Sisson used to do their designs and they were as good of a crank available.
The DB2 is a little deeper running, but will be good for the 4-6ft range. The old B2's are like a spinnerbait in cover. Ed Chambers makes a version of the old B2 in the WEC crankbait, they are pricey though...
E1 and E2 are the ones he makes..

I was just fixing to ask the OB their opinion of these WEC Cranks

They are some awesome plugs, I have a couple, but damn I hate to spend that much on a crank!! They are a good tracking and very well made lure, but I don't know if they are worth the money...
Some folks may argue with me, and they may give an edge to a tourney guy. Ed supossedly uses a hydrometer to mimic the sound waves of shad and blueback herring to dial in his cranks. IDK if this is true, but he has a hell of a business for someone selling high dollar hang up machines.

A small Worden's Rooster Tail spinnerbait on a light action spinning rod will catch a ton of small bass and large bream, is easy to cast and can cover lots of water quickly. BUT, it has a treble hook that fouls easily and causes clusterfricks removing hooks. Keep the forceps handy.
Great lure for a child to use if he can cast a light spinning rod.

Thanks for the suggestions.
I can see this final shoe box will probably be the costliest to fill. I've stockpiled nine away so far buying a little at a time and catching stuff on sale. But I want one box with baits he'd probably never buy for himself because they're either not used often anymore, kept secret, or of a little better quality than the box store brands.
