will smallmouths hit on a salamander soft plastic.  thankyou

Yes The best techniques I use are the Mojo rig or carolina rig

I agree, I have boated many smallmouth on 6" black lizards and watermelon chart. ;D And I also agree on the C rig and a Mojo rig, I also use a lizard on a jig and that works great , try fishing a black or junebug lizard at night!!!!! :

The current NC state record was caught on a live Salmander. It would stand to reason that the smallies would hit an artificial as well.

Thankyou for the replies. i'm going to use your suggested rigs.  Thankyou

i've heard smallmouth are fun to catch gotta try it! ;D

I've caught lots of smallmouth on C-rigged plastic lizards. My guides at Bull Shoals prefer the 4" version on a split shot rig, but what do they know? I fish the Yamaota 6" laminated lizards with 1/4 oz weight.
