I've always had reasonable success with brown-colored baits for smallmouth bass, so I tied the tail spinners pictured below. Each weighs 1/4 of an ounce and has a #1 bronze hook. Their red eyes are made with fabric paint. A bulky brownish chenille yarn covers the hook shanks. 'Root Beer'-colored flash is added to the jig bodies, just ahead of their golden #2 Colorado blades.
The swivel, split ring, and blade assembly clips onto the back of each jig. It is easily removed and replaced by a feathered or fur-covered treble or single hook.
These are very fun to tie.
