Can't go wrong with worms, Texas rig, or on a jig.

My brother's been killing them on ripple shads, I haven't tried them yet. When all else fails, there's always a live fathead, or leeches.

I caught several last night using a rebel crawdad lure. This was wade fishing in a creek with 4 lb ultra light tackle.

Don't forget tubes. Good luck, give report when you get back.

The best smallmouth lure I've found so far (for here in Arkansas) is the Ned Rig. I rig mine quasi-weedless by putting the plastic on the jig head sort of like a texas rig and burying the hook point back in the plastic.

Wooly bugger on a fly rod - even if that's not the setup you asked for.

A 3" pumpkin colored worm with a chartreuse tail rigged to run weedless and jigged across cover slays the smallys around here. Anything that looks like a crawdad works as well.

Rebel wee craws, Rapala Original minnow, white spinnerbait, 5/8oz black jitterbug, any sort of squarebill crank in a craw pattern, when all else fails big lively minnnows have worked well for me, maybe tone the line down a bit, 8lb is a nice compromise for me.

Drop down to 6-8 lb line.
Them fuckers are spooky in clear water up here. |

I only use two lures:
Hula popper 1/8oz Rooster Tail People tell me I'm stuck in 1950. Fuck 'em, I still catch fish.

1/4 oz jig head and a 3 inch curly tail grub, on your spinning rod. You don't need anything else

Heading north in a couple weeks and targeting small mouths, don't have many small mouths locally and I want to be equipped properly. Spinning and casting setups - 12# mono / fluorocarbon respectively. Senko or other stick bait type worm wacky rigged on a finesse hook. You're welcome. Oh yeah hang on tight.

I bought some blade dancer's years ago that work awesomely. I know some people hate them, but not me. Sadly they are no longer made.

Any thing plastic that looks like a crawdad will work...Senkos, plastic craws, tubes..obviously in care colors like pumkinseed, etc. Also Rebel Craws... |

Ned rig or shakey head jig are my go to smallie tactics.

+1 on the NED rig
I use the TRD worm or the Hulastickz on the shroomz jig head. (All ZMan products) Use as light a jig head as you can get away with. Hula Stickz |
