I’m really starting to like these dice baits for river smallmouth. LINE I highly recommend spinning tackle with braid to leader. I like the high visibility braid so you can see the bite on slack line. BAIT Really high quality materials. The natural craw color stands out just right in stained river water. It doesn’t weigh much and the skirt catches air so you will need a long med light rod for casting distance. HOOK love the screw lock as it helps me not lose the bait. These dice baits are pricey. I really like the 1/28 oz weight b/c it doesn’t sink like a rock. I was walking the banks and targeting large rocks near shallow water and eddy’s. Cast it out let it sink, a few twitches and rod raises and repeat. This smallmouth darted out of the rocks and swiped at it. This happened 3 times and on the 3rd he finally got it. The hook was super sharp and he hooked himself. Definitely was not expecting this. I’m gonna be adding this bait and hook combo into my permanent rotation for my river arsenal.

Slow dragging the tube rigged stupid tube style in deeper holes. Keeping bottom contact is key.

The Geecrack Bellows Shad on a Gika Rig is a sleeper bait when bass are tight lipped and stuck to cover. I feel like this bait puts out vibrations that the fish just cannot resist. The bait stinks pretty good too. The Gika rig is excellent around all kinds of cover. I am yet to get hung up! Flip around and find out. You can thank me later!
