RE: Smallmouth Bass Lures -- can you give me a few suggestions?
I've always had very good luck with anything in Crawdad or Lizard in spring,early summer.I suppose the shad or crawdad crank baits would be good in summer.Never fished smallies in summer months.
My favorite around pea gravel or rip rap is a 1/8 - 3/8 oz flared spider type jig tipped with pork.
I used this on 2 trips to Ark in gin clear water.
