Westernbass Magazine, Winter 2025
Hi All, Welcome to the start of a new fishing season! I’m sorry to see the exit of the longtime MLF (Formerly FLW) Western Division; but very happy to see the new opportunities that have opened for western tournament anglers such as Angler’s Press Pro Teams and Future Pro Tour Top 75 as well as others such as the BAM Super 60 and the expanding Kayak events of the events. I’m also proud to spearhead Fisherman’s Warehouse support of fish conservation as the Conservation Sponsor of the BAM Tournament Trail Live Release Boat. You can read more about that in the feature article in this issue. We have some new exciting things coming down the pike. The first issue of the year is always a great place to feature some of the new gear that typically debuts at ICAST in the late summer and has begun to store shelves by winter. We hope you enjoy some of the new products highlighted in this issue, that we saw at the annual sportfishing tradeshow and are looking forward to trying out on the water. I would like to close by wishing all of you Merry Christmas, a great Happy New Year and a personal best for the upcoming season. Tight Lines,And of course, tight lines! Wayne

How the Spunk Shad works with Forward Facing Sonar
If you haven't noticed, fishing is changing and fishing with forward-facing sonar has become increasingly common and effective for many situations. Many different lures work great with this technology, but a minnow-style bait has become one of the primary weapons for fishing this way, especially for suspended fish. It's opened up a new world for fishing and baits like the Missile Baits Spunk Shad are perfect for fishing this way.
