Smith Takes Co-Angler Title in Rayovac FLW Series

The first time was the best time for Jeffery Smith, as his debut tournament on Lake Dardanelle saw him posting a three-day total of 28 pounds, 15 ounces to notch his first Rayovac FLW Series victory.

“I’d never fished this lake until this week, so I researched in on the Internet,” he says. “I decided to bring all my stuff and treat it like a big farm pond.”

Paired with Alabama pro Barry Wilson (fourth place) in the final round of the Central Division event, Smith fished jetties and 45-degree chunk rock banks. He caught one of his keepers on a Texas-rigged green pumpkin Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver and the others on a shaky head with a Junebug Zoom paddle tail finesse worm.

A staff sergeant stationed at Whiteman Air Force Base in Knob Noster, Mo., the Iraq war veteran says his 14 1/2 years of military experience has taught him the value of poise — a trait that served him well on Dardanelle.

“More than anything, it has taught me how to keep my composure,” Smith says. “Like yesterday, I only weighed one fish for 1-11 and I dropped from second to sixth.

“It was tough on me. I had to go back (to my room) and do my own thing away from everybody and regroup. Definitely, staying in good (mental) shape here goes a long, long way.”

Tungsten fishing sinker is suitable for fishing match, for the reason that tungsten sinker is high-density and harmless to environment. Besides, there are a wide variety and styles of tungsten fishing weights available to anglers that are specifically suited to their individual needs.
