Caught mine pulling a lindy rig or spinner harness and crawlertrolling for walleye. Guessing it was a hair over 3lbs

Flyfishing with a full sink line and "Scotty's McFly" streamer. Fish was about 2.5 pounds.

Wow great smallie to start the year!

I catch my first smallies every year on a 2" paddle tail on a 1/4oz football head jig.

 

And, on the few I have left, I bought 300 after yum decided not to make the 3" yum dingers.

 

A 3" yum dinger rigged weightless, baby bass color, on a wide gap hook, it's a killer.

 

Wish Yum would bring the 3" yum dingers back, best Small mouth bait I've

ever used.

1/4 oz. Jig with zoom salty chunk trailer

Livingston EBS technology with sounds. Caught smallies, rock bass, white bass, walleye, and a pike on Lake St. Clair- Michigan this past Saturday. Versatile lure. 9 fow. 68 degree water. Overcast - 70 degrees.

Rapala DT crankbait

Saturday, May 9 (MN bass opener) -- Third cast of the year using a Zoom Speed Worm (Watermelon Red) without the paddletail -- 3lb 4oz, 17.5"

 

 

 

homemade 1/2oz tailspinner

Probably my first one was on a nightcralwer. I think it was around 1 to 2 pounds.

Dragged a 5 inch watermelon candy senko at Table Rock Lake in MO. Smallies love this color. Popped up a 4 lb on my first cast of the season.

3rd cast with a KVD 1.5 in sexy shad...never used a squarebill for smallies before and was delighted to see they're just as effective as they are for largemouth.

Zoom Ultravibe Speed Craw.

Don't know size (I seldom measure or weigh), but call it 15"- 16".  It was on a orange Yamamato Hula grub on a 5/16 oz. stand up jig head.

Wish Yum would bring the 3" yum dingers back, best Small mouth bait I've ever used.

 

I feel the same way about the 3" YUM Mighty Bug.  I love that bait and only have a couple left.

Yep, I bought all the 3" Yum Dingers I could find, I maybe have 50 left, so I know what you mean Steveo!

I could have sworn I read somewhere that they were bringing back the 3" Dinger....can't remember where I read that though.

 

About ~8 years ago I stocked up on 3" Senkos after landing my PB largemouth on one.  If that size Senko is discontinued I'll be heartbroken. 

5'' senko....BORING. lol

Get the 3'' yama senko,even though it`s more $$$ it`s worth it for better quality and color selection.
