    1. Spook
    2. Ripstop 9
    3. Super fluke in Arkansas shiner
    4. My favorite bait of the year: A knockoff Yo-Zuri Tobimaru jr. It's a jerkbait, but if you reel it slow it's like a glide bait, and if you reel it fast it glides, shoots off to the right, glides, shoots off to the left. Somehow it gives the same amount of waggles before it shoots to the right and then to the left. It's crazy.

    Debo I’ve been wanting to thank you for a great day that I had about two months ago. You put out a video using a popper and you kept talking about how good that lure has been for you this year. I was listening while driving to do some bank ‘feeshing’ and you reminded me that I had been killing it early season with the popper, but hadn’t used it in a while when it dried up mid summer. But you kept talking about how it was still working for you so I told myself, I’m gonna tie on a popper and I ended up slaying them all day! It definitely has been my best Lure this year!

    My top three lures for 2024
    1) OSP Dolive Beaver
    2) Teckel Kicknocker
    3) Bass Puzzle Grass Piece
    These 3 Lures combined for over 1000 fish for the year of 2024. My biggest fish caught this past year was an 18 pound striper in the Colorado river on a Raid Japan G-dash bluegill pattern swimbait.

And one that didn't work for me was the was the squarebill. Not for lack of trying or throwing it, just not much success this past year.

    So I am not sure, but I think the chatter spike and the free loader as chatterbait trailers were meant to fish in colder water situations. I have some freeloaders that I bought just for the chatterbait. I actually did not get to use them last year for that purpose. Also wanted to say one that is a staple for me and comes out every time I go fishing is the strike king caffeine shad. I have caught a fish on that thing almost every place I go fishing. From ponds to lakes to rivers. The only thing I do not like about it is that I can at most catch 3 on average bass per bait when rigged on a 3/0 or 4/0 ewg hook.

    Re: poppers- I used a popper almost daily at the places I fish(rivers and lakes) in TN. I could not BUY a bite last year for some reason!?! Switch to spook style, and boom fish on! I was killing it with the pop-frog and popper the summer of 23 too. I think it was because I bought 10 new poppers (bfs and up), new hooks & new enthusiasm. The fish were teaching me to stop spending my money…. 😅

    I absolutely loved the freeloader-for smallies and largies in lake Champlain. But I can say they worked best (for me) on chatterbaits when I trimmed my skirts and fished weeds and grass. It hunted better and simply just worked. (Prior to figuring that out I almost gave up on em, but they did well). Also, I used them for drop shot as well and it worked great--usually got hit quickly , but again, smallie territory up her in NY. Keep the great videos coming and the split ring tip on the hellraizer is going to be useful as I felt I was fishing it wrong…damn thing got hit and I didn’t land 3/4 of the fish that hit it (except pike, which showed it wasn’t the most durable bait lol)

    Thanks Debo, great insights as always. Curious about what you think about the new Stunna 100s, specifically thePlus 1. Bought 3 from Berkley. They look great out of the box, and they twitch great, but there's something wonky about the weight transfer. When suspended at rest, they sit VERTICALLY in the water, nose down. Not at an angle, mind you, but nose down: not natural at all. If you pick up the bait and tilt it so the weight rolls back, it sits correctly. However, on the first twitch, the nose goes straight down again. I contacted Berkley, and they're solution was to send me 3 more baits, al of which functioned the same. I've been experimenting with different hooks and split rings and have a workaround, but you'd think they'd come out of the box ready. Interested in your (and other's) experiences. Thanks

    12:14 Hellraizer wasn’t meant for freshwater bass. I found it shines with stripers and saltwater schooling fish with the straight/ eratic retrieve and vibration, and the oversized treble, when they’re busting on baitfish this is a dynamite bait for those schooling saltwater fish. Bonita, albacore, stripers, sea bass, peacocks.. I was hoping this would be a good lure but I didn’t catch a single freshwater bass on it, but recommended it to a friend who fishes saltwater letting him know what kind of situation to throw it in, and he loved it and had sucess on it

    Frogs, swamp lord and the small scum launch frog have become my favorites as well. They come with soft bodies right out of the package. … the rapala maverick jerkbait, bronco bug, and mayor were a surprise for me, so far they all work exactly as advertised. … for me this year top baits were lipless, swim jig, drop shot, and free rig. And baits that were meh for me were the choppo, underspins, and stick bait. I don’t think I caught a single fish on these baits this past year.

    Also I didn’t like the freeloader and i caught 100s of fish on jighesd minnow, not one on a freeloader, but i did find use for it on a Smeltinator underspin, it has a subtle action and gives off quite a bit of vibration with the underspin and the micro vibes from the body of the bait. I wish they made a 3.5”. I’ve yet to try the mooch minnow, I have them.. I think they’re going to also be good on a underspin and also a Ned. I think the BLTs paired will either a 1stGEN jawdropper, if you haven’t used that head yet you have to , it accounted for multiple 4-5 pound smallmouth and a ton of quality size bass. Vertical jigging it over laydowns seemed to be a super effective way to fish it, if there was a laydown that extended to the bottom of the lake/ river.. I’d drop that down and just jig it and like a ice jig it does figure 8s, sits up on the bottom like a Ned, and sits horizontal when suspending it if you’re using a BLT or a Baby Z Too. And it’s great for “whinding” -much like the Duo Realis BR head, half the price. They’re 🔥

    Two surprising new staples for me this year: (1) Missile Baits "Bomb Shot" for post-spawn largies in late spring (absolutely killed on a drop shot for months on end), and (2) the Lucky Craft 1.5 Squarebill (winding through schools of shad for aggressive bait chasers in the fall)... Neither of these are new baits, just ones I decided to really dial in this year (similar to your popper and fluke streaks, I think). You've definitely inspired me to pick up some of those "forgotten" techniques this spring. Aso acquired my first true BFS combo, which I'm itchin' to try out!

      The only small mouths I caught this year was with a jig and I fished it slow and popped it very slightly.
      The smallmouth around me are smart and scare very easily. Gotta throw light baits that don’t disturb top water. Or u have to wait for an east wind.
      I haven’t had any success on smallmouth with anything besides a white jig and one with a wacky warm with seedless ewg hook.
      Btw im going to be start harvesting my five to help the growth of the bass in the area. Do you eat lmb smb ?

I can just dangle it in the face of the fish standing behind the structure chilling during summer. :P But allso redeyebaits jerkbait and blade bait have done it for me, pop them a email and maybe then can send you some, I know (becuse they told me) that they are working on new releases. :)
