I went out to one of my local Michigan creeks to catch some smallmouth bass. I struggled to keep the pike from biting and breaking my line, but also managed to catch a few nice creek smallies on day two. \r<br>\r<br>Rod/reel: \r<br>-Lews Speed Spin CB300 on a Lews Carbon Blue Speed Stick medium power fast ion rod with 8lb Seaguar Invizx line.\r<br>\r<br>Baits used: Rapala X-rap XR8, KVD Dreamshot, and Powerbait Pro Twichtail Minnow.
