I live all summer on the susquahanna fishing nearly every day for smallies. The first lure I always throw is a craw colored tube with 1/8 oz tube jig head. If that doesn't work I usually switch to a chartruese fat albert (basically a 3 - 4" mister twister) and just reel it nice and steady without jigging, white also works well. Another old faithfull that you're garaunteed to catch at least one fish on is the rebel craw. These three things are must haves in any smallie arsenal.
