Willie SMS

Willie Deep SMS

Willie Deep SMS

One of Water Wood’s newest creations is the Willie, a shad-shaped crankbait that builds upon elements of some discontinued wooden staples.  It’s built to produce a wide wobble and meant to be fished in warming water.   


When the bass change gears during the pre-spawn, and start aggressively feeding up, it produces an aggressive hydrostatic signature that calls them out. Think of it like a 5/8 or ¾ ounce spinnerbait will a big number 7 willow leaf or a large colorado blade. You can slow roll it over stumps and emerging grass.   


Here in South Carolina, on lakes like Santee Cooper it excels over stumps and on lakes like Murray and Hartwell on red clay banks and points. It’s also a killer bait in Florida or everywhere that has emerging grass.   


The originals that it’s inspired upon only came in a shallow diving version, but I’ve added a deeper diver, too, to add more range. With its construction of Marupá Pedra wood, it casts like a sinking model, but mine still floats, so you can crawl in through heavy cover effectively.


 Willie SMS Specifications  

  • Built out of Marupá Pedra wood from the Amazon Rainforest.
  • Depth range 3ft / 12 lbs / Fluorocarbon.
  • Weight 0.45 oz.
  • Length 2.8".
  • Lip made of CB G10.
  • 304 Stainless Steel wire.
  • Premium Treble Hooks and Split Rings.

Satin Matte Finish (SMS) baits:

We make many Water Wood crankbaits in both a high-gloss finish and a Satin Matte (SMS). Both have their applications, but we’re repeatedly asked about how we developed the SMS concept, and when it’s at its best. Those of you old enough to remember when cranking was its heyday on Carolina lakes like High Rock, Gaston and Buggs Island may recall that some of the old-time crankers would leave their plugs on the dashboards of their tow vehicles. You may have assumed that the goal was to fade the paint, and that might have been one benefit of the process, but the real goal was to take away the shine.


With a matte finish, like those old-school crankbaits, lures have a more natural, more discreet appearance in the water. A bluegill, bass or blue marlin above the surface may “light up” with color, and has a protective coat of mucus, but under the water they tend to be less gaudy. When fish are ultra-wary, that’s when the matte finishes come into play.


Don’t worry, the process by which we paint the matte finishes makes them remarkably strong and extra-durable. You can bang them into just about anything and they’ll maintain their appearance.
