We've got another fellow from SoCal joining the show today, spilling the story of his journey into big baits, with a little help from some familiar faces. Andon will be writting an article in the first issue of next year, chatting about the Cast and Crank ToyDrive.

Episode 125 ClickBait Customs Nov 27, 2023

Show notes

Maybe one of the most well known painters in the swimbait scene. I finally get to sit down with Dan from ClickBait Customs, I know many many people have wanted to hear this episode and I think it's a very good one. Maybe not fully bait building oriented, but more so about the way ClickBait came to be as well as what's it's like moving around every few months. Dan was a really fun guy to talk with during and after the show, a truly talented guy with not only painting but the craftsmanship side of things as well!

Show notes

Long long time friend of the show joins us for this episode and we talk about a lot. Mostly about what the swimbait world was like when we got into swimbaits and just how much has changed since then. We get to hear stories from Colin about fishing around the Great Smokey Mountains and we compare his river systems to mine here in southern middle Michigan. A fun episode of 2 friends just talking and reminiscing about the days past.
