Little help with a crank bait lot

Spark L Tail sounds like the name I would have came up with just taking a guess! 

Thanks for all the help! A lions share are Bombers, I'd say I've got about 30~. 

There's a lot of variety in the Bombers. The 6A is kind of what folks think of as a "Model A", but there are some other good ones. Also a lot of DC'd colors, thanks again to PRADCO.

Man o man. Memory lane. I caught a bunch of fish on Quarter Backs and Little Scoopers back in the day before I could handle a bait caster. Bagey's Honey Bee's came out and screwed those good times up for me. I became a Honey Bee guy.

Bomber 2A's and 6's were a staple. I caught very few fish on 3A or 7A. Now we also caught a bunch on the 5A. At some point, they made a negative improvement on the 5A when they moved the line tie from the nose to the bill. That little shallow running 5A was deadly in the passes at Venice.

Caught lots of bass on them, but that's all before I was nudged into re-trying the Ned. So take all the above with a grain of salt.

2A's have always been pretty popular with the small lake/pond crowd. Lot of guys fishing derbies in IA/northern MO did very well with those.

I've got a soft spot for the 7A. Have caught lots more bass on that one than on the 6A. Runs a little deeper, fishes differently. Always have an eye out for one color in particular.

If you fish Truman, Stockton, Pomme, KS lakes, a 7A in fire tiger, pearl, or TN shad will catch a bunch of fish. Especially when they are on windy points and flats in the summer.

My stuff was mostly shallow off color water with some flow. Usually around rip rap or wood. Finger Tiger especially but also the Brown Craw and the olive Craw. Caught good numbers on pearl and TN Shad at times. 

I wore the paint off of some of them.

This is more or less all of them. I believe a majority are a 6A? Any colors tripping anybody's trigger? Also the one in the 3rd picture is different than the others. It has a little more of humpback and isn't quite the same size as the others, kind of falls in-between. The others have rattles that sound more or less like soft thumps, this one does not have a rattle. Any ideas? 

Thanks once again for all the replies, has been fun finding out what the heck I purchased!

The big line in the top pic are all 6A. The pumpkinseed and red coachdog usually draw some interest, as do the flash colors.

You've got a couple of 5As off to the right. Bottom pic are 7A. The long TN Shad and natural red look like 8As.

Your little guy with the green back is a good color. It's a 6A. Can't remember the color number off hand, but it's something like orange bream. Really amounts to a craw color.

Unless you're hiding it, you don't have The Precious. It's a super hard find in the sizes that get fished.

Wouldn't know what to hide if I had it! That's all that came with the lot. Can't thank you enough for the help!

I'd have PM'd you about it, trust me. 

You've got a bunch of screwtails there. Some guys swear those are better. I've fished both. Both seem to work.

That wally diver is an excellent bait. Most guys don't throw them, don't have a clue how, or when.

I've got a couple dozen of those. I'm assuming it needs to be thrown with my wiggle wart setup? I don't have a clue where or when to fish them. I know the walleye at beaver have moved to the river.

I wouldn't waste those on walleye. ?
