Like most spiny rays, smallmouth bass are good eating. Add to that, not only will you end up with bigger fish in the long run, the State may just leave well enough alone if the numbers are kept in check.

I use a Floating jointed rapala and zara puppy 90% of the time on blue, great topwater lures for explosive action.
