Go to as many (local) shops and bring the rod, test out everything and likely it'll find you.

PaulVE64's post in Water temp 67 was marked as the answerYou need to spend time throwing the lightest tube jig you can throw and dead stick thru rocks w/ current (1/8 oz to 1/4 oz )
On a second rod you want a 4" yum dinger texas rigged and weightless if possible.
Smallies also love hellgramites in the spring and summer.
And if you have shallow water any topwater, all day, everyday
Lastly- a 1/16 oz black maribou jig in the fall thru to late spring is my favorite at that season
