The smallmouth bass is a slender, streamlined fish that puts up a fight that rivals the strongest gamefish. Our smallmouth bass fishing tips start with the best location to find them. Smallmouth bass concentrate around rocks where there are insects, crawdads, and bait fish where they can feed. They normally swim in deeper water than largemouths. Most smallmouths are caught near the bottom. They can sometimes be caught on the surface but are not as vulnerable to surface presentations as largemouth. Smallmouth bass also concentrate in flowing water. Another one of our key smallmouth bass fishing tips is to keep moving. The small mouth won't come to you, so seek them out in the areas they tend to be. Fishing at night is another one of the smallmouth bass fishing tips that works because smallmouth frequently hang near the bottom during the day and come out at night to feed.

Our smallmouth bass fishing tips also cover the fishing equipment you need. It's best to fish for smallmouth with ultra light fishing gear, meaning an ultra light fishing rod and reel with a four pound test line. The lighter the line, the less likely smallmouths will see it, so you'll get the most bites. Also, smallmouths have good eyesight and won't hit a heavy line as quickly as they will an almost invisible light one.
Anglers use live baits to catch smallmouths, including live worms placed on a set of gang hooks. The most popular lures to use are jigs, tubes and crankbaits.
A small rod that works great for smallmouth bass is the NGC Sports Mini Rod. This is the rod that telescopes from the size of a large pen to a 42 inch high quality rod with a spinning reel that has 120 yards of 4 pound test line pre-installed. The Mini Rod is compact and fits into your pack or pocket but expands to a full length fishing rod that's ideal for small fish, like small mouth bass. It's the compact rod that goes anywhere so take it on your next small mouth bass fishing expedition.
