Smallmouth Bass Deer Hair Surface Bugs

When I’m tying or purchasing deer hair surface bugs for smallmouth bass fishing I want to be sure my bugs will hook a high percentage of my strikes. To assure this, the bug should be trimmed closely on the stomach to be sure the hair doesn’t deflect the strike. I also like hooks that are not more than 3X long. Excessively long bugs miss strikes because smallmouths hit their prey in the head.
