Me and a buddy of mine are catching a few good ones on Smith Lake at night - just looking for a few new lure ideas. We've been using a night time spinnerbait, jigs, and a few plastics. Anyone have any better things/colors to try?

Black Zara Spook or 130 Plopper. Hang on. Don't hook yourself, either.

Buzzbait, fished either very slow or fast depending on what the want. I don't like treble hooks in the air coming towards be when you miss or a fish slings a bait. I used to use a black jitterbug. Sometimes a musky jitterbug if you are on a big bass lake. I always had great luck fishing a blue worm with a firetail around lighted boat docks. I love night fishing. If you have lights on the water a white shallow diving crankbait can work wonders. I fished big jigs and trailers around rip rap. Mostly blk/blk.

All good suggestions. Super spook in black worked slow and steady with a pause about every 10 ft or when you walk it up to cover. Big bladed buzz bait. Jitterbug, devils horse and the largest sized one spinner (tail only) Bang-o-lure in black with the pinkish orange belly. I've never thrown the whopper plopper but after pm'ing with Clem I'm about to give it a try.
For years the best truly big fish nighttime bait down here was a musky sized jitterbug in all black. Throw it and just reel it straight back slow and steady. Plop, plop, plop,plop. You might go all night without a bite but when you do get one it will be something you remember.

Shakey head. If I was dead set on throwing topwater on Smith it would be a Lucky Craft Gunfish 115. Day in day out the gunfish seems to be the best topwater bait on Smith

abolt300 is right about the J'bug. Don't reel too fast or add any other action.
At first you'll want to chew tinfoil but eventually you'll get into a good rhythm with it. Should be able to hear the plopplopplop and probably feel the rodtip twitch. They're fun to fish with.
