Raven is pretty spot on. Both smallies and stripers feed similarly, especially smaller school sized fish. I would have to say from my experience that smallies are very protective of the nests, pre-spawn. I know it is often frowned upon, but drop any lure near a bed in the spring and it will be picked up asap, as will any sunfish, perch, trout, or small bass that tries to steal the eggs.
I often use similar lures for schoolies and both lmb and smb, particularly small jigs or grubs, slug-gos, etc.
Nice fish Circlehook. Pretty dark bass. Fishing jigs in a weedy pond or dirty water?
