Smithwick Devil's Horse

I fish smaller rivers for smallmouth bass and NEVER fail to have a couple of Devil's Horse with me. They cast well (allowing me to reach them beneath overhanging branches), float in a perfect profile and the prop noise makes big smallmouth nuts. I'll use them forever.

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.
