Smithwick Devil's Horse

50 years ago I was introduced to the F 206 Floating Top Water lure made by Smithhwick. It was a fat bait with spinners on each end. The back was a light green, the belly was white with silver glitter. The underside throat was red, and the eyes were painted looking down. This lure for me was the all time without a doubt best Bass catching bait that I ever fished with. I fished lakes and marshes in Texas and Louisiana for years and it was the Top Bait, no doubt. Smithwick quit making them. They went to a dark green skinny bait, similar, but less effective.

I have caught more bass using one of these than any other lure! It's an agitator! It enrages bass to where they want to take it out and eat it at the same time! They don't know what's in store for them when they strike! It has so many techniques available to lure them in! And I bought 5! I have back ups just in case and backups to back them up! Too many legendary fisherman have used them and sworn by them!
