Depends

I have a favorite lure on every rod in the boat when fishing smallmouth! I like crankbaits/stickbaits/lipless, bass jigs, spinnerbaits/buzzbaits, topwater baits like poppers and torpedos and soft plastics (tubes, grubs, worms, lizards, creatures/craws, etc) on texas, carolina, drop shot rigs, to name a few

. My go to smallmouth baits are a Strike King Mini King spinnerbait, crawfish colored crankbaits, and tubes or drop shot worms in natural colors
