Favorite lure of 2025?

Post by Gotfish? »

What has been your favorite lure of 2025, either the one most liked or even a new discovery? You guys had some good inputs last year at viewtopic.php?t=3172&hilit=favorite+2024 , what is it this year?

I have been liking swinging or wobble jigheads. For the weight, I use either a round style like https://www.amazon.com/Cuoyuqie-30pcs-C ... r=8-4&th=1 or a tapered style like https://www.amazon.com/Dovesun-30Pcs-Fi ... r=8-6&th=1 depending on whether I want more action or easier going thru the grass. I pair it with a light wire EWG offset hook. Any soft plastic can be used with it although I have been using curly tail grubs and TPE Ned baits so far for spotted bay bass. I expect it to work well this summer at Barrett too. I also use https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Rapid_F ... APIDH.html to keep the bait from sliding down the hook.

After a few years of refusing to jig a minnow, 2025 I decided to learn the process. I tried various minnow style baits, jig heads and retrieves.
I was very successful most of the year and got to admit, doubled even tripled my catch counts.
Seemed as though the fish were starting to see it too much at times and had to revert back to cranking/jerking and even drop shot at times.
Since fall, bass fishing has slowed down for me, thought I'd go get on some trout til spring but honestly haven't due to the banks lined up for them. Kinda ridiculous at some lakes.
2nd favorite has to be the popper this summer, it slayed, got some nice quality bass early morning and late evening on it. Love the blow up bites, cant beat it imo.
