i'm no seasoned expert, but i would not adhere to the smaller bait is better bait theory.

my one and only experience:

three weeks ago i was fishing. while making bait, i hooked what i think was a large jacksmelt- about 12" or so. also made plenty of 6" spanish too.

my buddy pins on a spanish and i picked out the big daddy with 2oz weight. he paddles out away from the kelp and 5 minutes later i follow. 5 minutes later my clicker goes off and 25 minutes later i boat a nice 25lb yeller. my first yt ever and a personal best fish.

decide for yourself. as for me... i'm looking for some good large baits.
