I'm new to creek fishing and although I catch an occasional smallmouth here and there, I don't target them often but I want that to change. I was planning to hit the creek with roostertails, pearl mini flukes, and crappie magnets. What else may be a good idea to catch a nice smallmouth?
There's a bandit lure that's yellow with some random orange short stripes on it that me and a friend have used on the duck river with great success for smallies. He turned me onto them and he says that's all he ever uses on the duck. I'm not sure if they were 100, 200, or 300 series. I think we were using 200, but they should have that color in every series. On priest all of the smallies I've caught have been on a 1/16oz - 1/8 pinkish red and white jig head with a black and chartreuse tube body fished around Rocky banks.
