What Lure Caught Your First Smallie Of The Year?

Featured Replies

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

Hi Hank, I have used the senko's, yes they work great, but no way do they hold up as well as the yum dingers

do.

I can catch way more Bass on one Yum dinger before it falls apart, the senko sometimes is falls apart on the first fish.

But they do work, I'll give them that much.

Are you sure that's a smallmouth? :)

 

Anyway Hula Poppers are great, love those classics.

Oops sorry about that ^

Livingston Howeller Dream Master Classic- chartreuse shad. Slammed them along with white bass, rock bass, walleye and pike. A 5 species day. This was after two concurrent bass tournaments went to weigh in. Fish were on for 3.5 hours after they left. Lake St Clair Michigan.

I always make sure I have a couple Rebel wee Craws with me, especially when stream fishing for Smallies. They seem to love them and Marabou jigs.

1/8oz rabbit hair jig in black that I tied up

Jackall Aska! caught them off my girlfriend's grandmother's dock on Lake Wissota.

Askas are hard to beat!

Plum Drop-Shot worm from a "Chompers", a very angry 3.5 lb smallmouth 

Caught a bunch in February through the ice, but that's probably not the spirit of this thread...Rapala HJ 10 on 6lb Seaguar fluorocarbon, there was still a little ice on the north end of the pond where the sun didn't hit yet.
