What size rapalas for spring bowns

I have a lot of thindersticks and jr thundersticks, but if I was to switch to original floating rapalas, then what size is appropriate for spring browns?  Also are the thundersticks and jr thundersticks too big?

[reel drag]

7's & 9's on the Rapalas. No they are not too big.

If it were me I'd go with jointed 7 or jointed 9 over a straight stick

F11s work too.  Agree with the jointed comment above.  Also have had great luck on the Dave's Kabooms. which are getting a little harder to find.

I have had good luck with the straight 9 & 11 and sometimes the 13  off a rigger back 75-200 ' off a rigger set 8-10 off bottom in water 12-30' deep. I fish this way with all sticks. 3 or 4 years back during loc when we had all that ice water west and guys did poor we got some nice kings this way.   Good way to go  spring when water is ice clear out deeper. browns coho , lakers  and also a king once in a while . only problem is the hooks are so damn small so you need a soft rod and hand to land them .

We use F and J 9,11,13's, but we also get them on F18's while fishing walleyes at night. Usually it is the bigger fish we get on these big sticks. The Jr Tsticks are my go to, along with the Bay rats!!!
