Spring on Smith Lake

A lot of us are down here getting ready to fish the second Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Southern Open on Smith Lake.

How-To

Patterns that ruled the Guntersville Classic

Gear

Classic gear debut: Smithwick Elite 8 Rogue

The Smithwick Suspending Elite 8 Rogue is a 4 1/2-inch hard suspending jerkbait that’s designed to dive quickly to 8 feet and stay there when fished on 10-pound-test monoilament or fluorocarbon.
