What lures do you intend to use more in 2025?

 I would throw a lighter jig then maybe a 3/8 and hop it instead of drag it..  I bet rocks like that are smallmouth heaven..

Correct.

 

I fish some rock piles like this and bounce a football-head bladed jig across them. I've also fished these with a Jika Rig.

 

No reason you couldn't do the same with a jig!

I’m gonna flip cover more.  And fish a glide bait, looking for that big one.  I said I’d do that last year, but didn’t.

 

And fish jigs.  I rarely do, so may force myself to throw nothing but a jig one day and see if I can build some confidence in that.

You and me, buddy.

I used to struggle with jigs. Late last year I got good enough at pitching that they started working well for me.   So now the only common bait type that I still struggle with are topwater.  

I’ve caught fish a few fish with poppers and a Choppo, so I’ll definitely use those.  I also have some buzzbaits and spooks, that have gotten swiped at but haven’t caught anything yet.  I’d like to change that this year.
