You fish a small jig..spoon....several things are used but a jig is the most common. You use braided line..and about a 15 foot fluorocarbon leader....with a 9 foot rod. You fish the jig under a float and usually you want a windy day for this..but it does not have to be. Most folks who do this use a garlic or shad scent..on the jig. Do not ever take your eye off of that float...not even one second...the Small Mouth tear it up. There are days when you will catch 50 or more big Smallies doing this. It works for me at Dale Hollow...Center Hill..I don't know why it will not work other places.
