Stroking for Smallmouths

[Col Forbin]

I have caught some smallmouth doing it, but mostly largemouth. I seem to catch more smallmouth dragging a jig on deeper ledges.

Ike had a great mini segment on stroking a jig last year but was catching Largemouth doing it. I have never seen anyone do it for smallies. I always bounce or drag em for them but I am far from a smallie expert.

I've never caught them during the summer stroking a jig and have never tried frankly but I fish Dale Hollow in the fall and that's a great way to catch them out of the grass there. We're usually fishing 20-25ft there so I don't see why it wouldn't work up where you are at those same depths.

Yes it works for Smallies.
