Episode 199 Cast and Crank Podcast

2025/09/01

I'd like to imagine you guys know Nick pretty well, given that he’s released over 350 podcast episodes—a crazy amount and a testament to how long he’s been producing and releasing shows. We touch on what it's like hosting a show and how, sometimes, it's a thankless job—especially when you're also working a regular 9-to-5 and raising a family, as in Nick's case. It's fun hearing Nick talk about the early days of Cast and Crank and how he found his style within the community of

I’d be willing to bet you’ve seen at least one of the handful of videos Billy has posted—a wild mix of hand-to-hand combat fishing and skipping on crack. He’s out there winching fish from some of the thickest cover I’ve ever seen, all while using baits he designed specifically for those conditions.In this episode, Billy breaks down some of the improvements he’s made to his older baits and dives into the story behind his two newest creations: the Cloak and the Clide.

Last time Caleb from York Casting Co. joined us, he had just started his bait-making journey. Fast forward six months, and the amount of growth we’ve seen from York Casting Co. is amazing. Dropping baits every Friday since the beginning of June is truly a crazy man’s move—but they’ve kept up with both the growth and the demand for their baits.Caleb talks about how to utilize their baits—and any big bait—during these hot summer months when most people are out video-game fishing, and how, in recent

It feels like it’s been a while since I’ve had the chance to really nerd out on media talk with a guest—so who better to join me than Caleb Tacia? He’s the guy behind the camera and edits for Jon B, and there’s a good chance he’s been the brain behind some of the big Instagram reels you’ve seen floating around. Caleb didn’t follow the “traditional” filmmaker path—he skipped college and put in real-world hours, making the most of whatever gear he had and grinding to hone his craft. His editing style

Maybe one of the best trophy anglers coming out of the state of Pennsylvania, Mike Colfer joins us for an episode breaking down how he finds success. From exploring new lakes to explaining how he uses his sonar and, of course, how he gets those fish to commit, Mike shares it all. We also touch on his background in the trout scene and what eventually pulled him into the swimbait world after coming from the trophy trout game.—Show Sponsor Links—Lake Baccarac Lodge - Don’t miss your shot at the bass of

2025/07/14

For the second time ever, SNT was joined by a guest from Down Under. Tanna comes on the podcast to talk all things Australia fishing. I think as U.S. anglers, we only see limited content from Australia and assume it’s all about Murray cod—at least I did. Tanna shares insights about the barramundi scene and how it’s the local fish for him. He tells some crazy stories about chasing big barra, and of course, we talk about his recent trip to America and what it was like to be immersed in the U.S

A fellow Northern Midwesterner jumps on the podcast—Isaac, a young hammer from the great state of Wisconsin. He’s located in a pretty unique spot, with the ability to fish Wisconsin or Minnesota waters fairly easily. Being a true river rat, we obviously had to talk about what it’s like fishing the ‘Sippi in the wintertime, and how crazy that fishery can be all year round.Isaac's socials:IG: mw_swimbaits—Show Sponsor Links—Lake Baccarac Lodge - Don’t miss your shot at the bass of a lifetime!

2025/06/30

In my opinion, anywhere you look in the swimbait scene, your eye will pass over some form of artwork—and I’d bet that a handful, if not the majority, of that art was created by Kyle. With over 10 years of creating swimbait artwork and showing no signs of slowing down, GoonieWolfe has been bringing people’s ideas and visions to life. Whether it’s representing their brand, designing merch, painting murals, or even helping design baits, he’s involved in every facet of the art realm. He’s someone I’ve

Making his fifth appearance on SNT—which is definitely a record—Dr. Wieker returns for his yearly check-in. We talk about his last few months in Arizona, how he got on some wild bites, and how he’s already kicked off musky season with a crazy run since the opener. He shares his thoughts on moving to a new city and his plans for breaking down the local fishery. We also dive into his signature musky rod with Leviathan Rods, the Musky Merc. He walks us through how it felt during the first drop and

Way back in 2023, for episode 44, Curran jumped on the pod. Now, 145 episodes later, he joins us once again. A lot has changed for him since that first appearance—new boat, new setups, and plenty of fish stories in between. We talk about boat ownership and what it’s been like transitioning from his older boat to the new one. We also dive into his recent soft bait fishing and his early experience testing the new Head Case Harness Citizens before they were released to the public.Currans socials:IG:

If you couldn’t already tell by the guests joining me for episode 188, this one is anything but serious. Marshall joins us after his recent trip to Japan, and Nole returns for the first time since December 2024. We catch up on what they’ve been up to lately and what they’re looking forward to as they head to Minnesota in the next few days. I’m especially excited to see Nole get his first Northern experience and find out not only how a Northern bass is built, but how food-motivated they really

What happens when you get two Northern Michigan guys together—one who takes smallmouth fishing seriously, and the other who’s combined his knowledge of smallmouth forage and engineering to create the first line-through bait based on the delicious goby? JP is an awesome guy who saw a hole in the market and wanted to cater to his fellow northern anglers, creating the Godzilla Goby. In a short amount of time, this bait has been stacking up big bags for guys all across the Great Lakes region. This

Fresh off a double-digit high, Everett joins us for episode 186. We break down his introduction to swimbait fishing and talk about how the bass culture in Alabama still hasn’t fully embraced the swimbait game. While others may be falling behind the curve, Everett has picked up the slack and run with it—getting dialed in with the full size Shat and the Defiant Baby Bird Crawler. We also touch on his watercraft and how quickly he’s become comfortable and confident running it.Everetts social's:IG:

The man behind Swimbaits All Day (SBA), Seb, joins me for an episode to talk about his introduction to swimbaits and, of course, the story behind starting his clothing company. Sebastian explains the hardships of launching the brand and what it’s been like to grow from zero followers to where they are now. He made a few bait sacrifices to kick-start the company’s funding, and I think the return he’s seen is obviously worth it. By the time you're listening to this, SBA will have officially been

Jeff joins us from New York to talk about some serious trophy hunting. Arguably one of the most dedicated guys doing it in the state, we discuss his previous years of success and what he'd like to accomplish in 2025. Since recording, he has caught a handful of big fish, and it sounds like it has been the result of a few of the things he breaks down for us in this episode.Jeffs social's:IG: swimbaitjeff—Show Sponsor Links—Lake Baccarac Lodge - Don’t miss your shot at the bass of a lifetime

Kevin Rogers from the NPFL joined us to talk all things swimbaits. He’s got a wall of baits that would put most of us to shame. We dove into how he incorporates big baits into his tournament game—and how they’ve started to overly dictate his approach. I asked him about his process for practicing ahead of events and how throwing big baits helps him locate fish on any lake in the country. He also shared some insight on the outlawing of forward-facing sonar (FFS) in the NPFL and how that move seems to
