    Ep 13: Victoria's Bluefin Boom & The Shark Subject
    2026/07/29
    Joel and Lee kick things off with a reel idea, a snapped rod, and the stunning shift in bluefin activity along the Victorian coast — top-water tuna, smarter fish, and why more anglers are ditching the troll for something more dynamic. From there it's straight into Blue Marlin World Cup talk, before Lee's own story drags the conversation into the shark subject that's been blowing up on socials this week — sharks following boats, and Australia's ongoing love-hate relationship with them. No guest needed. Just two blokes, a broken rod, and a lot to talk about. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Ep 11: The Story Behind Malosi Lures
    2026/07/12
    In this episode, we talk with Jon from Molosi Lures about the brand's journey from handmade garage lures to global recognition, and how fishing helped rebuild a bond between brothers. He shares stories from early land-based missions across Australia, the trial-and-error path from the first broom-handle lure to designs that actually worked, and the effort behind every release—from testing to production. We discuss how social media and behind-the-scenes content fueled the brand's growth, the challenge of scaling without losing craftsmanship, and how Molosi's micros and staples opened the brand up to younger anglers, with community feedback and real catches building trust along the way. John also reflects on the pressure of first major drops and the lessons of turning a passion project into a business, and we close with a memorable fish story that captures both a big heartbreak and a big milestone in the brand's history.
