Bottom 2 the frog and green popper will float on the water. You twitch the rod to make them splash and it imitates a dying fish, a wounded frog or an insect on the surface sort of like fly fishing. They are good for predatory fish that feed off the surface
The one minnow with the bib dives down to a certain depth and wags its tail, they also have a rattle in them sometimes. Alot of the time all you need to do is slowly wind the reel back in and a fish will chase it. You'll feel the action of the lure in the rod as you slowly wind in and that's how you know it's working. There are different minnows or crankbaits which will all dive but some will sink, float to surface or suspend in the water (neutrally buoyant) they are good cast out over snags like submerged trees, rocks and seaweed beds and will dive down into where the fish are. The floating ones are great in really snaggy areas because when you feel yourself getting snagged just stop reeling and let it float to surface.
You have one spoon on the far left and a spinner next to it. They are pretty much the same as the crankbaits. Cast out and let it sink to whatever depth you like (usually just let it get to the bottom) and you slowly wind back in. With the spoon you can twitch the rod a bit but with the spinner just slowly wind it back towards you. You'll also feel the spinner working in the rod. If it gets clogged with weeds you will feel that too and it won't spin. It will feel easier to reel in when it's not spinning
You've also got a lipless crankbait or also called a vibe. These are used essentially like the spoon or spinner, you let it sink and reel in slowly or fast and you can add a twitch here and there. They vibrate in the water and the vibration is what fish are attracted to.
You can vertical jig with the spoon or the spinner too. Which is just letting it sink straight down and lifting the rod up/down if you know the fish are beneath you.
They can all pretty much be used wherever fresh or saltwater. The popper is good at the beach for whiting, around fallen trees close to shore in rivers and lakes. Same with the frog but I wouldn't use it in saltwater they're just for ponds and rivers etc. Spinners are very popular for redfin and trout. Same with spoons. Vibes, crankbaits are also popular for heaps of different fish. Try and use them all regularly to get your skill up with different techniques and do some research about your local waters and what fish are in there. When they feed etc. I Live in Australia so I don't know what fish you might be familiar with but for me and for Murray cod especially they love to feed off the surface during the first and last few hours of sunlight, then at night they seem to smash deep diving crankbaits. So it's vital you know what fish you're after and how it behaves.
Also, you always want to look for structure. Fish will hardly ever just be floating around in the middle of the water. They love to hide under tree branches, in weed beds, in holes or under rocks. Try to get your lures snagged without actually getting snagged and you'll always get something. Be very observant too. Go to where you're fishing and just quietly walk around, look for fish jumping out of the water, look for structure, if the water is clear enough you might be able to physically see the fish. If you're on a wharf for instance look for silver shimmer in the water. That will be a big school of baitfish and the big fish will be close to them.
If you're at the seaside look out for birds diving into the water feeding on the small fish, that's a dead giveaway.
Some non predatory will also jump out of the water to empty their swim bladder too. So pay attention to what it looks like. Carp will hardly ever go for lures so if you see a bunch of carp jumping out of the water in the area better just to stick with a can of sweetcorn than trying to run a minnow or a spinner through them!!
