    Re: Flitterbait from Smacktackle.com

    OK elwood, was it a big smallie or a drum? I'm ok with drum, but it is always nice to put a big smallie in the boat. The last two times out, my buddy and I targetted drum on the Ohio river. The sauger weren't biting good so we went to a bank with a lot of rocks and ended up catching 23 drum combined for both trips. All on the Flitterbait. The fish you hooked doesn't sound like a drum to me. The drum we caught were sometimes hard to detect when they hit. None of them swam very fast and they all stayed under the boat bull dogin for the bottom.

    This particular point that I was fishing is both a good FNF and Silver Buddy point. The fly had slowed down a bit and I had a choice between the buddy or flitterbait to tie on and I chose the Flitterbait. The fish was way to fast and made that special run that only a Smallie can do. She was defineately a GOOD Smallie. A big drum sort of fights like a cross between a Catfish and a Largemouth but a Big Smallie fights like no other fish I have ever caught.

    Picked up to flitters after my last CL trip, but haven't had a chance to wet them yet. They look great though! Just like those small shad the stripers are chasing up there. Can't wait to use them.

    I have caught all species of the Morone family with it plus a few other fish. It's a great little bait. I bet it would be great for walleye/sauger but haven't had the chance to try it yet.
