Drifting Soft Plastic Jerkbaits for River Smallmouth with Josh Chrenko 

Fun watching, Jeff! For as expert you are at Smallies, its neat to see you are so willing to be taught as well... Just one more reason to love watching The Little Stuff! :-)

Great tips, great attitudes, great video! Slowing down for details on the tips was a an excellent touch.

So hard to believe that you are not well versed in summer sight fluke fishing at this time. We have been fluking here in western Pa. for at least the past 15 years right after the fluke came out that replaced the banjo minnow. Seems like it would be a staple for most smallie fisherman at his point. You are at a great advantage by fishing with so many different individuals in your travels that show you how others catch fish and to post on here. Love the channel!

Great video! They were chewing’!

Nice thanks for sharing! Tuesday morning the Whitehall / Muskegon area got blasted with straight line winds & a massive thunderstorm. Luckily it wasn't during the Electric Forest music festival (campers). It's been several days without power and hopefully I get it back tonight. Big trees are down everywhere. Certain days, I can catch 25 - 50 dinks around those rock pilings. It's a fun river! Another old school way to fish a fluke (Case SSS) is to hook the fluke on it's side 1.5" - 2" down (almost the center of the side). When you twitch the fluke, it's head points up river. You can do micro twitches and keep that fluke in a spot longer and anytime you can dead stick it. Great video. I love the questions, and getting other people's perspectives. There's a million ways to catch a bass.

My favorite way to fish a fluke! Jeff was a bit off his game on this, must have been because he was out of his natural habitat a kayak and in a jet boat! lol great video as always.

Awesome video again 👍

Now… add a second fluke to that rig and catch two smallies at once. When they’re hunting in wolf packs at this time of year the double fluke rig slays. High maintenance, but getting two at once is a treat!!

Wicked rig!!!

I use a lot of paddle tail swim baits in heavy current with a heighted hook for smallmouth. throw it up stream and bounce/jig it at an angle when the current picks it up! River 2 sea D walkers & 6th sense devine swim baits with a berkley 3/0 swimbait hook, Gotta get the hooks with the spring to put your swimbait on or youll go through them like crazy, Then all you do is rig it up through the back of the swimbait from bottom to top & you can even tuck the hook point in so its weedless. I use a lot of flukes too but it seems the weighed paddle tails catch more fish because they get close to the bottom.

Awesome weightless rig! I use same rig. The tip I got came from Tactical Bassin. Use a big corkscrew centering pin, and bury into the nose of the fluke so the eye is in the plastic. Then take that 2/0 finesse hook and put it through plastic and the eye of the pin. But this way is better I think. Why over complicate it? 🙌 Awesome video. Achigan is cool af! # smalliegames

Hey Mr Little. Also wanted to toot my own horn a tad. Caught myself my PB Smallie this weekend on the NEW. In the Smallie chaser series tournament.. 21 incher, just about 1-2 10ths under 6 lbs... top water was crushing it early on

Good stuff 👍🏽

Those hockey stick bets are cool. I think I seen Chad Hoover interview the guy that makes them. Cool video Jeff. Looks like y’all had a blast. Safe travels

Jeff, love your stuff and thank you so much. I am a huge fan. I got a torqeedo for my PWR 129 and I trailer it. I was wondering if you remove it every time you drive to the water?

42 trout fishermen, 29 of which are flyfishing only just had a heart attack because that WetBoi Chrenko didnt moisten his hands before he handled that precious trout

my favorite way to catch them

Awesome Jeff! Where those fluke baits weighted? If not was it the brand that made it sink? I use scented jerk shad’s and they float. On another note I went all white on the Delaware in Gin clear water and smashed them! Thanks Jeff!

What rod/reel/line combo was Josh using? 12-0 I’d switched long time ago! Lol

Try the donkey rig with those hooks, love catching two at once..

Dang what brand/model boat is that? Nice rig!

Is there a specific reason for rigging the fluke upside down (flat side down) when nose hooking it?
