FnF best color

[Jig Man]

I have been on a smallmouth pattern for about 3 weeks and have been getting them on tubes, drop shot and jig/beavers.  I have caught many different species on FnF but never a smallmouth.

I am going to try FnF in a few days and want the best advantage so, for you FnF guys what is your best smallmouth color so I can make some up before I go?

Well, first of all, FnF is a technique "of last resort." It's very slow and boring, doesn't produce many fish and the ones you catch tend to be small. I sure don't recommend it this time of year, almost anything would work better. However, to answer your question: Whatever color you are comfortable with! Bugs tend to be black or brown, baitfish whitish or silver. In my opinion suspending fish are more likely to find the baitfish imitation more interesting with this presentation. I would go with white.

We all have opinions.  Right now I am looking for an FnF guy who has a bag of goodies and a special smallmouth color.  Like I stated I am catching them on tubes, jigs, and drop shot.  I want to catch them on FnF.   I really don't care about a slow bite 'cause when I fish for big largemouth I only expect a bite every couple of hours.
