Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted December 14, 2014 Global Moderator Posted December 14, 2014 Depends a whole lot on the conditions. Spring time it would be a jerkbait, summer time it's usually a bone colored super spook jr or a Ned rig. 2 Quote
BasshunterJGH Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 Dropshots, tubes, jerkbaits, and crankbaits work year round for me. Like blue said, kinda depends on the conditions and time of year. 1 Quote

Super User ww2farmer Posted December 14, 2014 Super User Posted December 14, 2014 If my life depended on catching a smallmouth, no matter the time of year, depth, or conditions, I would drop shot a 3" gulp leech. 1 Quote

Super User HoosierHawgs Posted December 16, 2014 Super User Posted December 16, 2014 Mine is a plastic stick worm, a shakey head craw combo, and a drop shot plastic. I like walking baits a lot too. Knot (invite you to groan here) a fan of jerkbaits. Quote

adam32 Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Green pumpkin zoom finesse worm, or a jig n pig. Quote
CCfootballchamps69 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Go to bait for smallmouth is a dropshot setup throwing roboworms, senkos and snipers. Other than that I throw a hula grub or topwater. I have had so much success with those there is no need for any other bait. Quote
JohnMcD Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Drop shot is always the go to, that or a Spro 15 ft diver in chartruese blue back Quote
fishinMichigan52 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Sometimes all they will bite is a night crawler Quote
papajoe222 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Old school here. 3-4in. tube in green or brown. Many different rigging options, but an internal 3/16oz jig won't let you down 90% of the time. Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted February 12, 2015 Super User Posted February 12, 2015 Old school here. 3-4in. tube in green or brown. Many different rigging options, but an internal 3/16oz jig won't let you down 90% of the time. Same, but I add Junebug and Smoke/purple flake to the color list. Dunno why, but the smallies I chase seem to like purple too. Quote
ChrisWi Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Spinnerbait when it's warm and a tube if it's cold or they're not chasing Quote
