I am a big fan of the 300 series Crane Bait. It is one of the best twitch baits out there. I have caught many large muskies up to 52" with the 303 Black Bar Perch pattern. I like a twitch bait that turns 90 degrees after the twitch and presents a full body profile to the fish. It is also an excellent throw back lure. I also use the Brown Bar pattern. I usually have one rod rigged with a Crane Bait 303 ready to go.

I like the 207 best as a small twitch bait, but they all work well especially early season

I've added 207's, 208's and 305's to my box. I think they're all great baits.
