RE: smallmouth
in line spinners for me tend to work better on streams and small rivers. my top 5 are(not in any order):1/16th silver jig head with a 4" white twister tail, chrome/black Storm Thunderstick, YUM garret mega tubes in cray colors texas rigged with a 1/8 oz bullet sinker and 2/0 Gamakatsu EWG or a Diachi 2/0 Fat gap bleeding bait hook, Rebel Crawdad crankbait(my go to for small rivers), High Roller topwater lure, and a Zara Puppy or Spook.
