I use the 1.5 all the time for creek smallies. absolute blast. I think the RCWK wake easier than other baits. ie other baits i've tried (manns, R2S, bandit) tend to dive more than the LC.

You may want a larger size for how you fish. In case you didn't know this already BPS has them on sale for $10 right now. my 1st choice is ghost minnow.

RC wake 3.5 for delta largemouth. I'm going to try them on Clear Lake next.

I LOVE the 1.5 in ghost minnow for clear water smallies! It's almost the only small topwater I throw these days it works so well. I like to tie on a nice bucktail teaser onto the rear treble. Btw, for some reason I have the darnest problem losing the eyes on my lucky crafts... everything from this wake bait to a few different pointers to my rc .5's. I am almost to the point of just removing the stock eyes with a knife and fixing them on myself as I do my swim jigs..

I custom paint some of my baits so I always have extra eyes lying around. I put em on with a lil epoxy I use to seal my paint jobs. I have also lost eyes on my lucky crafts. I also reseal my American Shad colors with a quick did in clear super gloss polyurethane. Sounds weird but it dries clear enough and protects the finish.
