>>809613For big bluegill and crappie, you are looking more at the ~2" Rapalas (and other similar lures). For largemouth, you want the ~4" lures. The smaller treble hooks won't hook largemouth nearly as well and they can shake them loose easier. The X-Raps I like to use for bass are just over 4", and I believe they are Size 10 when you read the packaging.
The fatter diving cranks will be different, the length might only be 2.5" or 3" but will have much larger treble hooks on them.
Pic related are inline spinners, Mepps specifically. Agila #1 would be like good size bluegill and small crappie. #2 for fatty bluegill and regular crappie. #3 is good for fat crappie and smaller bass. Agila #4 is one of my favorites I think, the treble hook is big enough to hold bass well and the snakeheads can take em down no problem. If I'm just going for big largemouth, #5.
Rooster Tails are just like Mepps, a little bit cheaper. 1/8oz will be the same size as Mepps #1 and good for panfish. If you want to do bass, try and get Rooster Tails that are 1/4oz+. Walmart and pretty much everywhere has them.
