RE: SMALL MOUTH
There isno "best bait" for smallmouth. They eat alot of things. Depends on conditions. Two baits that have always been consistant for me when smallmouth fishing are Rebel Crawdads and Zoom Flukes. By the way WVU SUCKS.

RE: SMALL MOUTH
Rebel Crawdads and like muck said tubes! I dont agree with him on just olive color, although it is one of the best colors to use but i have also found that you need to have brown, tan, light green, and PURPLE! the purple ones are hit and miss sometimes they wont touch em sometimes thats all they want?? All depends on the water i guess? ohh yeah and WHITE!

. The big females are starting to go deep, will have to change up to soft crabs later in the summer.

Erie is full of them. I do change up colors all the time, the ones you mentioned are all great colors. I try and match the water

Muck if Erie is full of them may i suggest the ''Yo-Zuri Aile Goby''! I went smallmouth fishing with a buddy a few weeks ago and he outcaught fish probably 5 to 1 with one of these things! Too bad he only had one lure left[:@]! haha hope this helps!
