Pretty much any preditory fish that might be in the water near you. The in-line spinner a bunch of things will hit. The jig is much the same way. The lures people generally use to go after bass, but if you throw a deeper diving one near where a channel catfish is hanging out, they do sometimes strike things which they think are shad.
The real question now is when to use each of these, and the answer is it depends. Sometimes fish are in shallower water. Other times, they are deeper, and you want to use something that either dives deeper, when you lure it in, or maybe something like a crawdad or worm that sinks to the bottom.
On hot days, fish are known to be feeding deeper where the water is cooler. Probably. Unless they aren’t.

The rooster tail and swirltail jig will catch almost anything from panfish/crappie, trout, and bass.

The rooster tail will catch you pretty well any predator type fish that swims in freshwater. I’ve caught perch, walleye, pike, trout, etc. The lipless crank beside it will catch walleye and pike pretty good in my experience with them. The jig and curly tail grub is a good one too.

The grub and rooster tail are pretty universal. Now also look up how to work them on the retrieve

Just about anything will hit a rooster tail.
The rest will catch bass, crappie, pike.
Hungry ones.
