Smallmouth bass are visual hunters that thrive in clear, rocky, and fast-moving water — and DeLong Lures are designed to match their feeding behavior perfectly. Each lure is hand-poured in the USA, infused with natural anise scent, and built for lifelike swimming motion that triggers aggressive strikes.

Our best lures for smallmouth are:

• Twister Tads – Compact, tadpole with curly tail. weighted double hook lure. easy to use.

• Twister Tails – Classic curly-tail worms with constant movement, perfect for both rivers and deep reservoirs.

• Twin Tails – Double-tail soft plastics that add extra vibration and flash when fish are feeding heavily.

DeLong’s soft plastics excel when smallmouth are pressured or feeding on crawfish and minnows near rocks or ledges. Whether you’re casting along river banks or working rocky structure in clear lakes, DeLong’s durable, scented designs help you catch more smallmouth season after season.
