The smallmouth bass is widely known as a popular sport fish. Large spin fishing tournaments for smallmouth bass are held regularly in the USA, where anglers compete to catch the largest or heaviest specimen. The techniques and baits used when fishing for smallmouth bass are similar to those used successfully here in Germany for pike and perch. Anglers use a variety of baits such as spoons, spinners, wobblers, rubber fish, topwater baits and other spinning lures to attract the attention of smallmouth bass and entice them to bite. The fascination of smallmouth bass fishing lies in the challenge of outsmarting these powerful and agile fish and the joy of landing a successful catch.
