Episode 157 Fishing2TheMax

Scales N Tales ·

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

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
