PhillipRohal123 Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 I've heard bright colored negotiators are amazing for them. What other baits work? I have a albino white s waver 200 I'd imagine it'd work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadenw16 Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Try tricks too, or 6 inch Triple Trouts. I also hear that Islide 135s in the pink color aren't half bad. PhillipRohal123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigpoppabass Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Forgot to mention rpjs get some giant follows for me but for some reason that big sm almost always sits underneath a smaller one for some reason I have never figured out.

SKSlide Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 6 inch Huddlestons, Deps 175's, Deps 145 , 8 inch Triple Trout....Caught good smallies on all of these! I would also like to try the I-Slide 185... IsaacM619 and PhillipRohal123 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topwater Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Have seen plenty of pictures of 4 - 6 # smallies with a 230 Gan-Craft hanging out of their mouth. My personal favorite is white or bubblegum Rising Son. PhillipRohal123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennebecstripers Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 I've had good luck with 7" slammer (purple nitro) and my perch triple trout. (6") Buddy of mine (Swimbaitman) also loves catching them on his Johnny Rat. swimbaitman and PhillipRohal123 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topwater Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 + 1 on the slammer. It's been a late summer/fall bait for me, but deff. gets smoked. kennebecstripers and PhillipRohal123 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsaacM619 Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Lost a giant smallie this year (est. 7+ pounder) on a Baitsmith Mag. PhillipRohal123 and SKSlide 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCMD Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Can't go wrong with a 6-7" glide bait. I've smashed big smallies in the prespawn with glide baits. Had one day last year with 20+ on an ABT Suicide Glide in rainbow trout. Caught the water temp just right on a weekday, had the whole lake to myself and just killed them. Also had a lot of luck on lakes with white perch and/or golden shiners throwing an Evergreen Esflat (crazy underrated bait) in the Oikawa color. Great white perch imitator and had just enough gold in it to be a shiner in a pinch. G2 Shellcracker also can kill the smallies. I've caught a bunch of big bronze backs on the G2 cracker on Quabbin in Mass. Find some rocky points with some grass mixed in and hang on. Other baits I've caught big smallies on: S-Waver 168, Triple Trout 7", Savage Gear Shine Glide, Jackall Mikey.

luckycraft Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Realprey alewife is a smallmouth killer! I-slide 185, Deps 175, and Deps 250 and jsj siren glide for the donkeys! I've been blown away by how smallies will attack a big glidebait. PhillipRohal123 and SKSlide 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
