Carolina rig vs jig vs Texas rig…what’s been more productive for you
Blew the dust of the c rig and have been using it a lot more this spring. Been doing pretty good. Like the Spinnerbait bite the best. But whatever it takes. I get hung more on t rig for some reason .

I never use baitcasting reels
I use spinning rods a lot. I’m doing way more finesse fishing than I used to. Hey what ever you like there’s no wrong way to go after em. Plus spinning reels have came along way since the 70 s. That’s when I got my first one

Jig rattles for smallies
Don’t really use Rattles but I believe in scent. Gives me confidence. Really like Strike King coffee scent . But crawdads are noisy little guys so I don’t think it would hurt

if one particular bait is killing it..do you change up to keep it interesting?
Keep throwing it till they want something else .

Guys fishing smaller rivers - what sort of areas are you targeting this time of year when you know most have dropped their eggs - you fish current or strictly target the banks?
Ours here in Missouri have Adhd. Just keep moving and casting . Hit all the obvious spots. You will find them

Why did they stop making 5:1 power gear ratio baitcasting reels?
Rock old school with a round Abu. I still use em for Carolina rigs.

Bass Pro Shops
I live in Springfield Missouri by the Grand Daddy store and sometimes they have to order it from other stores. I know they’re really pushing their brand more and more every year. It’s a crap shoot every time you go there

So once the female lays her eggs in a smaller river, do they leave the nest and go hide?
I think they do here in Missouri I hit the River Sunday and they were bunched up. I had an amazing day. It lasted about 2 hours and then nothing. But our weather is colder than normal so I think they’re a little behind. They were gorging themselves for sure. All on a Rage Bug

Do you find crank baits to be any more effective than soft paddle tails for river/creek smallmouth?
Sometimes. The best Crankbait for small River Smallie is the Rebel crawdad. I have caught a lot of fish on that over the years.

Spinnerbaits for smallies
Yes. I use Shad colored or dark if they’re feeding on crawdads. Copper blade on the darker baits. I like 3/8 ounce on the River. Colorado thumper blade
