You need the baitcasters George for one of two things. First of all it is going to be COLD if you look at the forecast so the turnover may start but either way. You need them for the 1/2 and 3/4 oz Football Head Jigs to fish the points deep if the turnover has not started and if it has, then switch to shallow crankbaits and parallel the banks in shallow water for the Smallies will move shallow, I am talking 1-2 feet deep shallow to try and get some oxygen from the waves hitting the bank. Either way the baitcaster with 10lb flourocarbon is the best ticket for both. You could even get away with 14lb Flourocarbon on the 3/4 oz Football Head Jig fished in the 20-30 feet deep range. I know you like Spinning your fish in but break out the Johnny Morris Baitcasters and try and let Johnny catch a couple for you.
