We have caught nearly every species of North American freshwater gamefish, and some saltwater, on a jointed Rapala. I'd say it's my most-used lure since the 70's.
That said, while my son was doing his thing, I was landing muskies and spotted bass on a little whopper plopper 90. Funny how the same species, under the same conditions, can hit such different baits...
the old and the new both work on them That is great.
FWIW whopper plopper is coming out with a third size between the 90 and 130.. might be perfect for you.
Already out, I bought one back in the Summer in Powder since Bone (the best color IMO) was sold out. Haven't given it a whirl on bass yet, had my buddy throw it to no avail while I was getting stripers to hit a Mikey Sr.
