Outdoor Life just came out with their “15 Greatest Lures For Smallmouth Bass” and we at everything-smallmouth decided to take a look.

There’s no doubt that there will be no argument with some of these choices but some of these could easily be replaced by other top baits. I suppose there are differences of opinion depending on whether you are a lake or river angler. I suppose there is room for other opinions in the world of smallmouth bass fishing. Maybe you’d like to sound off below and let us know your thoughts!

According to Outdoor Life, the top 15 best baits for bronzebacks are:

1. Heddon Zara Spook
2. Cordell Big O
3. Double Willow Blade Spinnerbait
4. YUM Craw Papi
5. Bomber Fat Free Shad
6. Rapala X Rap Pop
7. Stick Worm (Senko style)
8. Bass Pro Tender Tube

10. 6 in Zoom Lizard
11. Strike King Bitsy Bug Jig
12. Luck E Strike Hair Jig
13. Mepps Inline Spinner

Now, what I want to know is where is the X rap or similar suspending jerkbait or the Sinking Salty Shad? How bout the Keitech Swimbait?
