Fall is some of the best time of the year for Smallmouth Bass ON Rainy Lake. Use your electronics to locate mid lake humps, look for ones with bigger the boulders the better. Vertical Jig the Rippin Raps over the top of the hump. I like to use fireline and tie it directly to the mono but you can use a small barrel swivel to connect them, or use only mono. Check the last couple feet of your line often for nicks and abrasions . Good Luck!

One of the funnest times of the year to fish, is fishing for Smallmouth Bass on Rainy Lake in the spring. Just find a rocky shoreline that shallow water extends out on a shallow flat mixed with rocks, gravel, and sand. Cast the DT-4 onto the shoreline as close as you can to shore, and just start working the shoreline. Very your retrieve speed and direction as you reel your bait in. I like using the DT-4's because they are very durable, cast like a rocket, they float, and they have very sharp hooks. Make sure you check your line often as the first 5'-10' get very nicked up easily doing this kind of fishing.
