If you fish for Smallmouth especially in rivers this is a must use bait. Light line 6-8lb on a spinning outfit is the perfect set up for this bait. 1/8 oz jighead is my preferred weight. Give this a try...you want be disappointed.

I catch and release all up and down the rivers in Southwest Ohio, using a fly rod. I've tied flies professionally, but switched to Bitsy Tubes and Circle Hooks. Their White tubes float for top water, chartreus and green imitate minnows, brown and orange for crawfish after mid July. The Circle Hook takes in the mouth, not the gills or stomach. And after 10 years, Bitsy Tubes take the most fish, hands down.
