Pop R Smallie
Wrote this six days ago (Thursday),fishing a lake for the 1st time :
"Smallies outfoxed me today .3 escaped off the Rapala ,two blew up on a Black Baby Torpedo , landed only one 12.5 " that took a Gold /Black back Rapala." Today same lake :Caught two 12" Smallies ,one blew up on a Pop R had him on for a second . Effective Lures ,two outings: Pop R, Bomber Crank, * Floating Rapala ,hooked the most (4) , Black. Baby Torpedo raised two fish .Floating a crawler was frustrating ,only very tiny Gills , was hoping for a variety of Panfish including Rock Bass which I believe I saw .2 outings fishing same spots: 3 Fish landed (Rapala, Bomber Crankbait ,Pop R ) three lost fish on Rapala, 3 fish raised on topwater baits .

Keith , I like the PopR and the Baby Torpedo .I've had success raising Smallies to both those baits .My best Smallie came on a Jitterbug though!

Ken I hear ya about the Smallmouth /Fall connection ! I enjoy top water baits not only for catching but as a search bait .The Smallies reveal themselves by not being able to resist reacting to a topwater bait .Gives me confidence to stay on a spot . I'm working with a two rod ,topwater bait , crankbait approach . Topwater baits: Pop R and Baby Torpedo. Cranks :Floating Rapala ,F09, Bomber 4F .

Cool. Rock bass below water makes it debut above water..on rocks.

That's great Keith ! Those kinds of baits are sometimes retired to my basement wall museum .I'm afraid of losing the baits and thus the memories they produced !

Nice smallmouth. I love the pop-r ! I one got that's been hit so many times that part of the paint is gone and I had re-tie the skirt.
