⬇️🚨 FISHING TIP MONDAY 🚨⬇️
When northern Smallmouth start making that late-summer transition into fall, it's time to slow down and finesse the presentation. 🔥
The Strike King Tumbleweed and Magnum Tumbleweed are perfect for targeting Smallmouth around rocky banks, points, current, and deeper structure. 💪
How to fish it: Rig the Tumbleweed on the Tumbleweed Jig Head, Weightless, or on a Drop Shot, and work it with a slow, subtle retrieve. Make long casts, let it get down, then slowly drag, hop, and shake it along the bottom. When Smallmouth are feeding on slightly larger forage, step up to the Magnum Tumbleweed for a bigger profile.
Pair it with the Lew’s Custom Lite Drop Shot Rod and Custom Pro Spinning Reel for the sensitivity and control needed to feel those light Smallmouth bites and keep your presentation moving naturally. 🎣🙌
