We have always said that we wanted our show to be about fishing and tacos. Not just bass fishing. Not just one style of tackle or tacos for that matter. This company makes some amazing, incredibly well made and well thought out parts for a style of fishing that we are not familiar with, but wanna be! We heard about Stinky Pants Fishing through a mutual friend named Chase. I think it's safe to say that we were into having Jason from Stinky Pants on the show as soon as we heard the name! We love a company that makes serious products but doesn't take itself too seriously.

Come with us on Episode 43 as we talk with Jason, and briefly Lil Stank, about the company, what they make, how they make it, how the company started and what the future holds.

If you've ever listened to our show, you know how random and rabbit-holey we get at times. And honestly, we like it that way. We enjoy letting fluid conversations follow whatever natural path they're on.

We had this idea once to just record little mini episodes called "Bite Size" and drop em at random. Basically semi focused, short, rabbit hole episodes. Well we have two of em for you here. So instead of one idea or concept, you're getting two. What a deal!

WARNING - the audio in this episode isn't as crispy and smooth like always! Jordan is in Madison doing training stuff for work and so he had to record straight into his laptop! PLEASE PUSH THROUGH! THE GUEST IS WORTH IT!

Trey Harpel (pronounced Har-Pehl) runs a full time business taking apart fishing reels, cleaning em, lubing, greasing, upgrading and re-building them. He does this on brand new reels and old ones alike. To give you a little insight on just how legit this dude is, consider this; he does HUNDREDS of reels a month. Yes, you read that correctly. People will send him 40 at a time, 70 at a time, and he goes to work. His knowledge and insight is mind blowing. This is a guy you NEED to be following on YouTube and or Social Media.

He fishes derbies, paints and sells lures, makes awesome honest videos on YouTube, and runs a super successful reel cleaning and customizing business. Not to mention that he loves Tacos. Yes, Trey is our kinda human! So stoked to have him with us for Episode 41.

PS - Trey shares a reel of his with us that was painted in the Lamborghini factory in Italy! No jokes!

It's pretty rad how life seems to go in cool patterns or circles sometimes. Jordan, Nate, and Lola have been buying tackle from Horseshoe for years and years. We were very first turned onto his stuff when Jordan saw a photo of a crazy craw pattern that AJ created called "Chernobyl Craw!" A few weeks back we saw Horseshoe liked a post of ours on social media so we reached out and asked him to be on the podcast and he said yes! So here we be.

Our goal at Tackle and Tacos is pretty simple as it relates to what guests we have on; invite people that we like and respect and think we can have a cool conversation with. That could be a podcast host, a pro fisherman, a restaurant owner, a salsa creator, or a custom tackle painter like AJ.

Jump in with us as talk about fishing, life, tacos at length - turns out that AJ is basically a chef - No jokes! Of course we go deep into painting lures and where AJ gets his inspiration. He also talks to us about how he developed what we think is the BEST craw pattern, in the various versions he has, anywhere in fishing, plus a whole lot more.

The Rapper / Philosopher Whodini once said "Friends! How many of us have them?" It became pretty clear pretty quick that Chad is now a friend of the show. Energy, intelligence, positivity, and the high level ability to articulate what he's thinking make Chad a fan favorite for anyone who calls themselves a Bass Fisherman.

Way back on episode 9 with Brandon Palaniuk we asked him who he would choose if BASS decided to turn all derbies into partner events. Real quickly BP responded "Chad Pipkens" and it's pretty darn clear now why he said that.

Ride with us on episode 38 as we discuss stuff like; fishing, tacos, boat stuff, injuries, Chad breaks us off with an awesome / funny / meaningful show and tell, and obviously, we talk hair stuff. Ain't nobody rockin' that good good in the hair game like C.Pip!

Episode 37 is a really rad one that we've been trying to line up for quite awhile. We finally got to sit down with the Sleepy Assassin, or as Jordan likes to call him, the Nuh-Night Ninja, Austin Felix. This dude's story is a crazy map that basically screams YOU WERE MEANT TO FISH! Come with us as we follow along his story's trail.

Things we discuss on this one, like most of our episodes, kinda bounce all over the place! Fishing of course, tacos obviously, and then the good stuff; Harry Potter (we actually really like Harry Potter, so this was super fun to us,) getting in a wreck with a bus filled with Amish people, a new rig, show and tell, and Austin's awesome, really inspiring journey of how he got to where he is in Pro Fishing.

The first time I ever listened to Hellabass, the podcast, I was instantly into it. It's honest, raw, not over produced, to the point, funny, has great guests and really touches on just about everything you'd want a bass fishing podcast to cover. Rich (Hellabass) has episodes about lures and tackle, fantasy fishing, tournaments, pro angler guests, industry insiders, and honestly maybe the best thing about his show: he doesn't shy away from sharing his opinion even if it's not a popular one.

I reached out to Rich and he graciously agreed to be on our podcast. Dude was traveling for work, in a hotel, and still gave us 2 hours of awesome convo and fun moments. We learn about his visors, he teaches us about the Taco Bell app, he shares his opinion on what makes or breaks podcasts and much much more!

There literally may not be any two other people on this planet who know more about bass fishing, the history of it, and specifically the pursuit of big ones, than Ken and Terry. Not joking, not an overstatement. We are thrilled to have these two men on our podcast.

We reached out to them back in May or early June of this year. They happily agreed to be on our podcast way back then, but trying to line up schedules was literally a 5 month process. Let me say though, it was FULLY worth it. Terry and Ken are two of the most intelligent, sincere, funny dudes out there. Their dynamic is one of stats and science, knowledge and experience, and also a little arguing like an old married couple.

Come with us on this one as we talk Tacos of course, bass history, we got into a rad impromptu show and tell time, discuss what makes or breaks podcasts, Jordan had to leave the studio (garage) about 5 times for water and cough drops as he was coming down with Covid, and a brief dialogue about how George Perry (largemouth world record holder) is full of crap. This is two and a half hours of fun / engaging dialogue that we really think you'll love.

Look, let's be honest. We don't know why Jay agreed to do our podcast but man we are so thankful he did! This episode is the epitome of sitting around talking fishing with someone you look up to. Just so happens in this case of listening to fishing stories, that they're all true and the dude telling em is a certified bass fishing legend! Jay shares tales and insights that make you wanna just sit back and absorb as much knowledge as you can!

Jay discusses tacos, past Bass ELITE derbies, the Bassmaster Classic, the future of the sport, front facing sonar, and maybe most importantly, we get in depth with the charity he runs called CAST for Kids. CAST for Kids takes children with special needs out fishing and gets rods and reels into their perfect little hands. If you can listen to Jay discuss this program without wanting to get involved yourself, you may need to check your pulse.
