Dear Italo, hope you are well! When bass season opens, I am going to the Maitland River to target smallmouth bass. What's your suggestion for a good topwater lure? Is size and colour also important? Any tips? Thank you!!

Hi Peter, I suggest you fish a #7 Jointed Rapala on the surface and just below the surface. The Heddon Tiny Torpedo is one of the most effective topwater lures to use for smallmouth bass. Hope you catch them…God bless you.
