Which fish would these be best for? They were my father's, and I have no idea what to use for what, other than the red and white spoons that helped me catch a bucketmouth as a little kid. I'm hoping to catch lake trout, smallmouth and largemouth bass, walleye and northern pike.

A and B are both Rapalas and are good for any of the species you listed. C looks like a Shad Rap and will also work for those species it just runs deeper than the first 2. I’m not sure on D but those red and white spoons are awesome for pike
I have never caught anything on that red devil printed spoons. I personally prefer simple silver, maybe half a side colored.
Also these things whoop ass

Caught many a walleye on a and b at night while trolling in 9ft next to the weeds on many lakes
likely, all for bass. depending on where your Dad lived and other associated tackle, big trout, pike, and muskie. these are not for panfish, carp, or catfish (though you may catch a catfish or two on them). no need to ID them all to tell you that. a, b, c and others like them that look like fish are hard plastic swimbaits. D and others like it are spoons. k,o, and p are ploppers (poppers, whopper ploppers or some other dumb name). all good baits.
Q for kastmasters. Cheap to buy and make yourself. Punch out holographics stickers with a paper hole punch and stick it on the flat parts. Cheap and works for all scenarios. You can jig them, cast them, and troll them.
The Red Devils can catch a lot of trout. But not the best at anything. A and B can catch all of the listed fish. Fish them. Sprinkle in some others too. Rooster tails catch everything. Basic spoons do too.
