Les Young Posted 20 hours ago Report Share Posted 20 hours ago What is most guys favorites for clear water & especially smallmouth? Would be using from bank to about 35 feet deep along bluffs & in open water with livescope when fish are offshore feeding on shad. I'd also be using them in clear water at night in summer if that makes a difference. What do you guys suggest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apdriver Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago Laminate. Arkansas shiner and your favorite belly color. I like just a Pearl powder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiderunner Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago I’m fairly new to swim baits. I started a few years ago with Keitech Fat Impact. I was sold immediately! I ended up getting the FGF3.8”ribbed name I can’t remember what it’s called. I love ‘em! Like AP said. Laminate. I try to “match the hatch” Arkansas shiner . Mostly natural colors with the white pearl belly . But I tint the white pearl with a pin head amount of the upper body color. Or the tiniest amount of black so I get a smoky tint. I also add salt because I noticed that on sunny days underwater, the baits are transparent and hard to see. I like to show a little bit bigger of a profile. Transparent won’t give you that.
