Need Advice For A Smallmouth/river Set Up.

[jitterbug127]

I've been fishing lakes and ponds all summer, and just got back into river fishing since my boat is pretty mobile, and btw large mouth are hard to find. I am looking for a good set up for small mouth. I have a Fenwick I use for finesse stuff, but thinking about something for weighted stuff. I am considering 7ft med fast rod. I'd like a 2 piece

I fish smallmouth in rivers 75% of the time. For me personally, I only like to fish with Extra Fast action tips for this type of fishing. I use 2 primary spinning rods - Fenwick Elite Tech Smallmouth rod in 6'-9" Medium XF, or if the current is stronger or lures are heavier a Daiwa Tatula 7'-2" Med-Heavy XF. I also have a baitcaster for jerk baits and topwater - St. Croix AvidX 6'-8" Medium XF.

St croix medium light fast. 6'6 or 7'. Some of my favorite baits for that rod are unweighted flukes, 1/4 oz tubes and gunfish 95. It has a almost moderate bend. Keeps those jumpy river fish pinned up good.
