Crankbait question

This question is for my fellow bassfisher persons north of the mason dixon line. I live in NW Indiana and up here, any bass over 4 pounds will draw a second look. If you land an 8 pounder, you've really nailed a hog. That being said, here is my question. I am an avid user of crankbaits. I do very well with them. However, I am thinking about buying a couple Rapalla DT16 cranks for working the deep water. Up untill now I have never pitched a crankbait that large. The DT16 is a very healthy sized bait. I am unsure whether or not that size crank is overkill for my region. Is it too big for this area? Do any other northern bass fisherman use a large crankbait such as this for probbing deeper water?
