A Rapella Shad Rap works great for Smallmouth at Dale Hollow Lake. Just troll the banks and cast 2-3 feet off the shore and reel that dude back to the boat. Repeat as needed with a medium action bait caster or spinning reel. A good ole Zebco 33 works great for beginners. I use a trolling motor early in the morning or late in the afternoon.
