Sarge the walmart heads 1/8 oz with just plain old bear hair . I trimmed the hair back just a litte and used a 2' black uncle josh U-2 porkrind. We were in Quetico so catching smallmouth is not that tuff but catching quality smallies is pretty tuff sometimes. I used an old Lowrance green box depthfinder (what I learned on) and found humps in the lake up to 8' with 30-80 ft around it most of the big smallies were in 15-18' on the wind blown side of the hump the tricky part was keeping the canoe from blowing over the hump. We found a small inlet off the main lake the wind was blowing into the smallie were so thick you could not lay your rod across the gunnels with the bait hanging they actually jumped up to get the lure. We caught many northern as well up to 38" helluva lotta fun in a canoe. Again thanks be to God for allowing me to get home b4 the pain started. My buddy had a heart attack about 8 years ago but he would have paddled his arse off to get me back 1 1/2 days solid paddling nonstop!!! Highlight of the trip, seeing a Wolf 14' from where we were sitting one evening enjoying a little Jack Daniels and a fire. It was Gray& BIG and long legs. to show his contempt for Dale and I camping on his spot he left us a pile two nights in a row about 5' from our tent....
