Going to be targeting striped bass, and didn’t want to mess with bait. Swapped out the hooks on the Cleos to barbless, and crimped down barbs on the other two. 
I'll always upvote barbless hooks. Tight lines man!

Nice ones! I've used all but the Rapala for bass fishing with good success. My all time favorite is one similar to the silver Cleo, but it's got a tiny red feather attached to the top end, so they are both spinning around the length axis. Very successful for both bass and pike.
