Although there are many setups that work on bedding smallmouth, it is safe to say that the Large Hellgrammite and the Mad Tom took top prize for aggravating the very vulnerable brown fish.
It seems the fish not only picked up these baits but crushed them with violent impact. Thanks to the fine folks at Fishing Complete Inc. for putting these baits in my boat. I have just placed a reorder. This week’s clients are really going to enjoy this.
