What hasn’t changed is our focus on telling real stories from the people who live it—builders, anglers, creators, and everyone pushing bass culture forward.

2024/12/30

From one of the best states in the Great Lakes region to a southern state on the East Coast—can you imagine how much everything changed for Alex? We dive into the transformation his fishing had to undergo and the culture shock he experienced in the bass scene of a new region. Bigger lakes, deeper lakes, more fishing pressure, and different baitfish all created a steep learning curve for a kid from New York.Alex's Socials:IG: alexsanvillefishingCheck out the new official SNT tackle shop sponsor, Lake

What do a 250 and a DRT Ghost have in common? Our crazy guest Kyle Reigle uses them both regularly to target giant river smallmouth—with pretty impressive results. We dive into how he uses these baits, along with others, in fast-moving river currents. We also discuss how the big swimbait scene is slowly growing in river systems and how it has both positively and negatively impacted the community, from bait builders to anglers just starting to get into swimbaits.Kyle's Socials: IG:

2024/09/09

Joined by one of the coolest bait builders out there right now, Max comes on the show to talk about the Top Frog. By taking the true swim of a frog and turning it into a swimbait platform, Max has, in my opinion, created one of the most unique baits on the market. The Top Frog is everything you could want from a frog imitator. Make sure to follow him to stay in the loop for upcoming drops.

Joined by Connor and Dale the Net Man for episode 156. For those who haven’t listened yet, Dale the Net Man is a random rubber chicken Connor keeps in his net. Connor is what I'd consider a swimbait junkie, someone who has put in the time on his lake and, in my opinion, will be breaking ten sooner rather than later.Connor's socials:IG: condogfishing Check out Leviathan Rods, and use code scales20 at check out for 20% off all your rod purchases! ⁠⁠https://www.leviathanrods.com⁠ ⁠ Check out the new

2024/07/08

I don't think this man even needs an introduction. He's been making baits for longer than I've been on this earth and can even claim his baits have landed a bass over 20 pounds and one over 19 and a half pounds. I don't think many other builders can say their baits have achieved anything like that.It was truly a great time talking with Mickey, hearing the stories behind all the different glides he's made and offers for sale, along with some of the ones he's made and
