Spinnerbaiting Smallies

Featured Replies

   I finally found a smallmouth lake near my house, and with every fish I catch, I get just a little more hooked on the brownbass........I did pretty good on spinnerbaits last time I was up there, and have kinda got on a spinnerbait kick. I've been lookin at Booyah Glow Blades in chartreuse and white and A gold bladed double willow in smallie special and green smallie special. I don't have much experience with brown bass, so these are my inexperianced guesses. I'm open to suggestions. The water is about medium clarity, not more than 2 ft in the lower end of the lake.

My most productive color spinnerbait for the conditions you mentioned, is firetiger. When I'm fishing my canal in the Spring, my firetiger flat-out catches them. Out in the lake where the water is crystal clear I use white, or translucent.

Good luck, and have fun with those smallies. They're the best.

Check out the "Winni Specials" by Fleck. They also make a "Falling Star" model which is great on smallies. A good selection is available from Northern Bass Supply.

I agree with Falcon.  Especially if you find that the SMB are keying on perch the firetiger is hard to beat.  Also, single Colorado blades slow rolled near structure is dynamite.

1/2oz chart/white with double willow blades. They're awesome in dingy to muddy water. Any translucent colors work well in clear water but I'm partial to war eagle's mouse color.
