The best place to use them is in the water  :smt002

I use suspending stick baits for trout by letting the line out a few hundred feet, trolling for a few hundred feet and then retrieving the bait in an erratic fashion with pauses up to 2 seconds.   I imagine that method might work for striper or any other predator that likes to pursue.

The one in the middle is a good color for the bays as it mimics a smelt. try it along shorelines/flats for halipers.  :smt004

I use those in the ocean surf for monster stripers around this time of year.... Bay is good too but I find rattle traps and swim baits work better for me in the bay.

From the looks of the bill I'm guessing anywhere the fish will be up shallow.unless your adding weight or a down rigger or if you see them busting bait on the surface,if your in the east bay you could try trolling Pinole shores the stripers should be coming through there
My biggest worry is that my wife(when I'm dead)will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it
