Underrated Fishing Lures
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Andrew and Jesse dive into some of the most underrated fishing lures ever made and explain why these old-school fish catchers still deserve a spot in your tackle box. From the legendary Jitterbug to pork trailers that look like they belong in a history museum, they share the stories, techniques, and lessons behind these forgotten classics.
The conversation also takes an unexpected turn into the world of deer flies, those tiny airborne villains that seem determined to ruin every perfect fishing day.
If you enjoy fishing tips, tackle talk, and the occasional rant about bugs, this episode is for you.
