Our annual contest, “Name That Lure” published in the January/February 2025 issue (and online) of Island Fisherman magazine is over and the results are in!

How tackle is named can be as historic (or funny) as naming a boat, and we love to see who the top tackle junkies out there every year. To do that, we pick a list of tackle and come up with a multiple choice list of names for each lure. People can play as many times as they like, but only one entry per person that achieves 100% gets entered into our annual draw.

This year, 2,912 people took the quiz, but only 167 unique entries (6%) qualified for the draw, by getting 100%. From there, we randomly picked the winners —here they are:

Top Prize – Amundson Trend X5 Mooching Reel

Matt Brown

Second Prize – Amundson Centerpin Reel

Hayden Thorburn

Third Prize – Amundson Fly Reel

Rene Coatta

Bonus Prizes – (3) 1-year Subscriptions

Mike Woodley

Ernie Cottingham

Perry Nimco

We have emailed the winners directly for shipping information. If you appear on this list, but can’t find the email, please reply to this email. Thank you all for playing and we wish you good luck for next year!

Best fishes,
