Summer Lures
#1
Senko
Color: Green Pumpkin · Size: 5 inch
Cast near rocky points and submerged structure, let it fall on semi-slack line with minimal twitches to trigger reaction bites.
Natural falling action and lifelike profile excel in summer when smallmouth are positioned around structure in moderate light.
#2
Rapala Original Floater
Color: Silver · Size: 3.5 inch
Cast parallel to shoreline structure and execute sharp twitch-twitch-pause cadence to mimic fleeing baitfish near the surface.
Early morning light and 30% cloud cover create ideal conditions for subsurface jerkbait presentations that trigger aggressive strikes on smallmouth.
#3
Chatterbait
Color: Green Pumpkin Craw · Size: 3/8 oz
Cast toward secondary points and rocky transitions, maintain steady retrieve with occasional sharp jerks to increase vibration and flash.
The bladed jig's aggressive vibration cuts through moderate summer light and murky water effectively, drawing strikes from active smallmouth near deeper structure.
