Good luck!

Use marabou every Fall for smallmouth in the river.  Will go with white or black and sometimes with a tiny underspin under the white.  Black will represent a leech really well.  Also a really good multi species bait.  While fishing for bass you’ll likely catch some crappie too. 

That’s cool 

Another reason I like to lean towards live is because the group will ask good questions I won’t think of and I’ll get to hear those answers.  I typically don’t keep going back to the workshops to see what questions have been posted. 

Yeah will do!  I’m working on figuring it out. 

Yahtzee! 

Ohh mannn I love using a hair jig for smallies. Specially in Fall. 

Dang man, happy birthday you!

I should follow up my question with what are you using for your main line?  Braid, fluro, or mono?
