I've never fished Smith Mountain, but I love the New River 100%. It can't be all that far from you. Either way in this cold water I like the bass pro shops suspending jerkbait in gold/black back and pumpkin. Both in the smaller 4 inch version. I'm sure hair jigs would work to but I've never messed with them much.
What type of line should be used as far as line backing on reels (Baitcaster vs. Spinning)?
I just want to get out of the habit of spending so much on replacing all of the line every time.
Also is there any preferences on the type of knot used between the main line and backing depending on line type?
Thanks for any inputs
