Winter Bass Tournament HEATS UP! Merry Bassmas Bash Standings Update

On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, I’m joined by Hunter Smith of Fishing Pro Tech for the 2025 Jig &amp; Minnow Buyer’s Guide. Hunter breaks down everything you need to know about the most effective jig-and-minnow strolling baits, the gear that makes them shine, and the tackle setups that consistently put big bass in the boat.The jig-minnow technique isn’t new—but it has absolutely exploded in popularity. Whether you’re mid-strolling or bottom-strolling, Hunter explains why this presentation continues to dominate across the country and how it fits perfectly into modern bass fishing. Yes, it pairs beautifully with forward-facing sonar and modern electronics… but you DO NOT need electronics to be deadly with it. This is a technique that any angler can master, regardless of their rig or experience level.With so many companies scrambling to release new baits in this category, the noise can be overwhelming. Hunter cuts through the hype and highlights the core baits, jigheads, sizes, and profiles that consistently get bit in real-world conditions. We talk retrieve cadence, water clarity adjustments, ideal hook sizes, rod actions, and how subtle changes in body shape can completely change how a bait swims.If you’re tired of guessing what works and want a legit roadmap to jig-and-minnow success, this is the episode.
