The best thing is that unlike eels, if you leave them in your truck for a fews days, they don't develop that lovely "bouquet" of dead seafood.

They are my "go-to" lure, since the various sizes can imitate a variety of baits.
Spring is 4", 6" and 7 1/2 " (9" in the canal)
Summer is 6", 7 1/2" and 9"
Fall is almost exclusively 9" (maybe 7 1/2" when the bait is smaller)

Beyond that, you'd have to exoeriment with what colors work best for you. The basic theory is black/dark colors on dark nights, white/bright colors on moonlit nights.

You just have to get out there and cast away.
