" he said they were hitting jig and pigs. # 11
rind and a 1/4 ounce jig. I never would have thought that would be a
good bait for Smallies. "

I don't have a lot of experience with smallmouth, caught my first one three
years ago on Boom, but that has been a good bait for me and I had read over the
years that a jig and pig is one of the best baits for smallmouth.
