You need to learn a few new techniques. The Ned rig is a Smallmouth killer, but I do it one better and I came up with what I call the Drop/Ned rig. I tie on a #1 EWG hook as a dropshot and put a Peanut butter and Jelly TRD finesse worm on it. Then I tie on a 3/16th oz chartreuse Ned head and put a Coppertruse finesse turd worm on it. This is a killer combo that many times I catch 2 fish at a time. Also this time of year throw a KVD 300 or Xrap jerkbait in hothead or clown colors. Use a twitch twitch pause retrieve and you will light em up.
