What ever size / weight you can throw for hours. I base it off the forage size I see swimming in that particular water. Just have to walk the banks and watch for larger baitfish on the edges and mimic. The so called match-the-hatch. My biggest pike was on a 2.5 inch balsa wood spinner. And my biggest largemouth was on a 7 inch fluke with a massive 7/0 weight trokar. Caught a 50inch musky the other weekend on a 6.5 inch line thru soft body perch. Ive hooked into them in the 40" range on the old Bill Dance shad crank baits. Theyre tiny.
