Lol as I buy it I've never heard of them being great for smallmouth of course tacticalbassin has caught some smallies on it

For a real tough bite, it’s pretty hard to beat a 2-3” tube in some sort of natural colour on a light jighead. Been a fan of original Berkley power tubes for a while now, but recently got a bunch of Maxscent tubes for just such an occasion. 

Ned (MF style) and/or a tiny black marabou/synthetic/hair jig have both proven to be as close to 100% year-round for me as I can get.

Absolutely have to catch them:

 

4" Senko in GP

White rooster tail spinner

3" grub

5/16 Finesse jig

Smallie beaver

Brian I'm gonna be honest with you, that smells like pure gasoline.

My favorite lure to catch a bass are topwaters so I would say I feel very comfortable catching bass on topwaters.

After sundown is best on the surface.

I imagine you occasionally wake up in a cold sweat with glide baits on your mind, nightmares of big fat prespawn girls laughing just below your S Waver....

I used to.

But I sold them all.

So now,  I'm free at last, 

Free at last.

Free.  At.   Last.

A split shot rig with a Zoom 4 in lizard in Chartreuse/Black Flake. I call it my limit getter.

Mine would have to be a curly tail grub always catches fish for me

October through March: Carolina rig on a 4' leader with a 4" Keitech Swing Impact in Electric Shad.

 

April through September: 5" Senko in #297 weightless & wacky with little or no breeze, on a dropshot if the breeze is too strong to fish weightless.

Four inch powerbait pit boss.

 

Never lets me down ever.

So far it's something different every year, except for that whole 100% thing. T-rigged worm has done me well, except when it doesn't.

The Rick Astley of lures.

 

I don't think I have one lure that will 100% produce no matter what, but it's a rare day I can't trigger a bite on a lipless or a senko.

6” Zoom lizard T-rig

Charteuse and black Norman Fatboy.  If they don't bite that, you need to wake up, because you're having a nightmare.  

Anchovy paste. Can be picked up at the grocery store in the Italian section with canned different tomatoes and sauces CENTO brand. 

Rage craw t rigged with a sixteenth ounce bullet weight on a 3/0 hook. Always gets atleast on. 
also a spinnerbait always gets atleast one. 

The question is seasonal

 

for example, I am 100 percent positive I will catch them on hair as soon as the ice melts 

 

probably a higher percentage than that

if that is possible…….

A frog.  Even when it isn't right, I have a hard time not throwing it.

Used to be a white power-grub on a lead-head. 

 

This past year the go-to has been a pumpkin green NED rig. 

 

Hard to argue with success....

Because throwing frogs is fun no matter what.
