For Smallies that arein fairly shallow water, say less than 10' deep, I like
in-line spinners and minnow plugs. For deeper fish I like tube and twister
tail jigs. If the fish are holding tight to cover, I'm pitching a wacky
rigged senko as close to the cover as I can.
One thing about smallmouth is that they seem to enjoy bright colors, even
in clear water. My all-time favorite smallmouth color is some combo of
black/chartruce. My favorite color for twistertail jigs is chartruce with
silver glitter. A spinnerbait with a black & chart. skirt and a chart. blade
can be great, but a white skirt with a white blade can be good also.
