Along the beautiful length of the scenic Eau Claire River in
Eau Claire County, Wisconsin, many large bronzebacks can be found.
Along with choosing the right location, it is important to use
the right lure to catch fish worthy of bragging about. The sandy,
partially stained water yields itself well to a brown-colored
lure. Carolina-rigged softbaits can be especially deadly in the
early summer. One excellent choice would be the
Bass Pro Shops Tender Tubes (AKA Bass Pro Shops Tournament
Series Salty Tender Tubes). These two 18.5” (roughly 4 pounds
each) smallmouth were caught using the 3-1/2” size tubes
of this make. Give it a try and good luck!
