1/16 oz pro slider head and an Irish whiskey colored slider worm.
Best there is in my opinion, for both smallies and rock bass in the river.

1/16 slider head with my 5 inch finesse worm or baby hawg t-rigged with a 1/16 ounce weight. If I am just trophy fishing it's one of my swimbaits.

Zoom Fluke Jr with the swim bait tail with a 2/0 hook sticking out of the back. Work it across the top and hold on.

All these answers and nobody says LIVE BAIT blow my mind!!!!!! Nothing beats a live stone roller or shiner or maybe I'm one of the few and should keep my mouth shut!!! [img]http://  [/img]
BTW the markings on that smallie are awesome.

I catch bait before I go Fill up my minnow bucket and tie it to my belt loop and just let it float along with me when I need to walk a stretch just grab the handle and go. If I need to bring my cast net for say a real long trip stuff it in the backpack with some cold drinks. Doesn't hinder you being mobile but to each their own. If I'm fishing crystal clear water though and you want to trick those 3 to 5 lb smallies you need live bait...
