My first memories of successfully fishing with lipless crankbaits goes back to the mid 1990s when I watched a good mate of mine absolutely clean up on the golden perch at Googong Dam on a lipless crankbait I had abandoned to the bottom tray of my tackle box.  Since that day I have always carried at least one of these lures in my arsenal.  However, over the years they have been less favoured to bibbed lures and spinnerbaits.
