I've personally caught more fish in the tailrace using a blue smelt hit stick than any other crank since they've came out.
Size 9?

#11 Chartreuse original floater.

Rapala makes a smelt color in floater #11 but doesn’t stock it in the US. Scheel carried it for awhile but no loner does. Haven’t had a chance to use it yet but I’m sure would work good.

Actually they do sell that color in the US. Scheels and other do carry it online in sizes 9 and 11

jaykay i think you should try throwing some Rapala Ripstops at heskett. I love the action on these. jerk-pause/reel-pause/snap-pause.

Snook like them anyway :cool:

Yup, I've monkeyed around with them a bit. They're nice and heavy, so they cast well into the south wind. They're neutrally buoyant though, so they don't float off of rocks when snagged. I do like the white/silver though.. I just have never had any success with them.
