Got a trip to the New River planned and want to see what lures y'all wouldn't leave home without.... Going to be up there the 1st of June so hopefully the bite will be good but it should be a fun time regardless.
If you want to catch the most fish on a small mouth river or stream just fish a Ned rig with a partial zinker z attached and never look back.
you can thank me later. you wont be catching a dozen a day on that thing, more like a dozen an hour.
if some of you really have some primo smallie waters that you want to test my big mouth on, get with me after turkey season.
Popping baits (Pop'r, Splash It) and small jerk baits.

I'm familiar with everything mentioned except the Ned Rig...when I googled it looked like a senko to me. Is that what it is?
If you don't mind getting in the rivers and fishing from a kayak I can put you in pretty decent smallmouth water. A Charlie's Slider fished with small soft plastics works great for smallies also. Never fished a Ned rig but I'll look into it.

Whay size jig heads/sinkers do y'all prefer when fishing soft plastics in the new River?
#2 silver blue fox spinner, original black/silver floating rapala, emerald shiner jig (custom made), 2.75 - 3.5in tube jigs. That's all you'd need.
I'm telling y'all, if y'all ever get tired of fishing with a little catching thrown in, go to live bait and enjoy catching instead of fishing. Smallmouths are the easiest fish I've ever tried to catch with live bait.
