Really anything you would use for Smallmouths, but usually closer to the bottom. I do really good on small plastics and tiny cranks, but the biggest ones I catch are on finesse jigs meant for Smallies.

Flies- Red Faced wobblers, foxee red clousers (Size 6-10)

Conventional- green back/ orange belly Unckle Buck's craws at Pro Bass (they come pre rigged on a 1/16 oz jighead)

I have caught quite a few off mayfly jigs and a small rebel craw working the banks around chunk rocks.

all you need is a rebel craw small crank bait they will hit it and smallies wiss smash it and some small craws or try a french fry riged on a 1/16oz jig head they will hit it good also

They'll take a lot of stuff...but back when I really fished specifically for them, you absolutely couldn't beat a Beetle Spin. Might not find them anymore, but you should be able to find some clip on safety pin type spinners, small ones, and just clip on onto a marabou crappie jig. Actually, the marabou jig by itself is almost as good.
