With the 1st day of Spring less than a month away many of the Joe Bass Team Trail anglers are getting geared up for the 2025 season. Some of the most enjoyable aspects of bass fishing are talking fishing, boat shows, tackle shows, buying new tackle and then actually fishing. Am I right?
Rapala, Crush City, VMC, Sufix and Storm all Joe Bass sponsors have introduced NEW items in 2025. I think may of them will suprise you.
First off Rapala has introduced the PXR Mavrik 110. Stickbait fishing in the Ozarks is a winter technique we all do. Rapala’s Mavrik is a stickbait that is going to be a player in this seasons tournaments.
Crush City has introduced their own take on some soft plastic tackle staples Mooch Minnow, Janitor, Hedgehog, Pigstick and Freeloader. Past favorites The Mayor, Bronco Bug, Cleanup Craw, Ned Blt feature NEW Colors and some new sizes.
How many of you are aware that VMC has introduced Spinnerbaits to their line up? Their NEW RSS Redline Series Spinnerbaits are made with only the best VMC components. After handling one of these baits it’s impossible to imagine any better spinnerbait on the market.
Jigs? Who doesn’t like jigs? I have ran 100’s of tournaments over the years and the jig is always mentioned in the check line. VMC NEW additions in the jig market are the UT Utility Jig, HDSJ Heavy Duty Swim Jig, FJ Finesse Jig, and FJW Weedless Football Jig. These jigs will win tournaments all feature VMC hooks.
Sufix NEW Revolve is specifically designed for finesse applications. It is a ultra thin finesse braid. Sufix NEW Revolve is ideal for FFS techniques.
Storm the maker of the famous Wiggle Wart has introduced the Speed Trap. This crankbait comes in many Ozarks favorite colors and patterns. Wanna crank shallow? Check out the Speed Trap.
These are just a few of the NEW baits by RAPALA. Check out their website for more.
