Rod / Reel For Weightless Fluke Fishing
I throw flukes on a Carbon light 7ft 6 medium fast action spinning rod with a carbon light reel.I use 10 lb flouro and a swivel most of the time.I can make longer casts and pick up more line with the longer rod.Even started using this set up for light t-rigged plastics.

Best TopWater Baits for SMB
Rapala skitter pop and Heddons tiny torpedo are my two favorites.Plus the floating Rapala works good two.

Soft Plastic Swimbaits
I like the 3.25 Rage swimmer Texas rigged with 1/8 0unce tungsten bullet sinker.Gama 3/0 ewg hook.I fish it on a 7 ft Lews speed stik and 14 suffix copoly line.I will go up in sinker size if stronger current to keep it down.

Any Carbonlite 2.0 Fans ?
Yes I am,I have there 7 ft 6 inch spinning rod.Light, strong and sensitive.Its my go to river Smallmouth rod. Really like the Winn grips also.Looking to purchase a few more. Action is medium with a fast tip. Works great for Flukes, Craws and Twitch baits.

Which do you prefer for fall fishing, spinnerbaits or chatterbaits?
I have better luck with Spinnerbaits,So I throw them more.But I really like the Rage blade.Im going to work it in the mix more.

Largemouth vs. Smallmouth
River Smallies are hard to beat.They never give up.

Live Bait Setup?
If you can get your hands on a copy of lunkers love nightcrawlers.There not minnows but you can catch alot of Bass on crawlers with right presentation.Really big chubs fished in the fall on rivers really catch the Smallies.Try a lindy rig or a splitshot rig. `

Need a Smallmouth rod
I have been using a Bass Pro 7ft 6 Carbon coil medium ,fast.My favorite rod to use.I throw Rage Swimmers ,tubes,Finesse jigs with it.It was about 119 but well worth it.Really like the Winn grips too.There worth checking out.

Golden Roaches/Shiners for Smallmouth
Back when I lived up in Wisconsin we used the biggest chubs or shiners we could get.We fished them on the river right at the base of the lifts .The Smallies would stage there every fall.

Spinnerbait or Rage swimmers.
