Sfritr Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 OK, Sfritr and Francho, I'm not finding any 4" Roboworms anywhere. Where do you get yours? Tackle Warehouse, Bass Pro, Cabelas I was just at BPS today and they had more stocked that I have ever seen in the past Quote
basscrusher Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Let me preface by saying I do most of my smallie fishing in a secluded tributary creek where a 14" smallie is big and bottom-bumping lures get broken off about every 5th cast in a massive maze of rocks. That said: for numbers: 3" senko in watermelon or black for size: 4" Yum Dinger in green pumpkin/red biggest I ever hooked: Zoom tube in the Natural Shell color Quote
big t 4488 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 4.8 jackall flick worm with a drop shot technique kills them in keuka lake at about 30-50 feet bluff point Quote

VTechHokie Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 3" Gitzit tubes, they are hard to find now but a big bag of them will last quite some time Quote
WdyCrankbait Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Rage Tail Baby Craw 8-) Yes, but have they worked for you? LOL!!! I gotta go smallmouth fishing with you! Quote
Addicted to Smallies Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 I hate to be "that guy" but I have to say it... Senko's have been my best producer. Probably worth mentioning that I fish rivers, not lakes. I suppose it may be a confidence thing for me now, but I found the 4" and 5" Senko's (usually the BPS brand, actually) in watermelon or pumpkin to be good producers for me when other things aren't working. They seem to be perfectly weighted to get down and bounce along in the riffles, but work equally well in the deeper pools. Texas rigged, sometimes with a TINY hook weight on the front of the hook. Also fish them wacky sometimes, but they get hung up a bit more, and I haven't found the hook-up ratio to be any better for me. Quote
Addicted to Smallies Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Oh, I almost forgot... the Baby Brush Hog is also deadly. Probably tied with the Senko in my book for producing when everything else in my tackle box seems to be falling flat. Quote
tcain38 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 I like a grub in the spring and a Yum Wooly Bug in the late spring though summer. Quote
-nick- Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Nice thread. Going to be going down the river on my kayak tomorrow targeting smallies and I was thinking I was about to have to hit up dicks sporting goods after work to pick up some new lures for smallmouths, turns out I have most the things you guys catch them on. Might have to make a trip anyways, no such thing as over prepared. ;D Quote
Ern Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Yum Dinger, Bitsy Tubes, and Super Fluke JR. Quote
Dave T. Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 When it comes to smallies and plastics, I've found that if it is "small", "wiggly", and "green pumpkin" in color, it will catch plenty of smallies anywhere. Quote
Pa Angler Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 I catch a lot on a Zoom Horny Toad and a 1/8oz Roadrunner with a 3" Grub. Tight Lines Pa Angler Quote
Andy C Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Zoom superflukes and yum crawbugs, rage tail craws. Smallies aren't exactly picking a lot of times. Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted March 12, 2011 Super User Posted March 12, 2011 4" single tail grub, hands down. Quote
