Fishing Swimbaits for Smallmouth in Current

Alabama fishing guide and Bassmaster pro Jimmy Mason shares his tips for catching big smallmouth bass from current on large river reservoirs in the south with holly bodied swim baits like the YUM Money Minnow on Buckeye Lures J-Will jigheads. He uses a 15-pound Vicious Elite Fluorocarbon on a Dobyns 743 Champion Extreme Casting Rod and a Lew’s Tournament Pro bait caster.
