Deck Talk Podcast – Episode Description

Special Guest: Gerry Brousseau

Topic: Custom Baits – Plastics That Catch

On this episode of Deck Talk Podcast, we’re joined by special guest Gerry Brousseau for a deep dive into the world of custom baits.

Gerry breaks down the different types of soft plastics used in bait making—what they’re made of, how they perform in the water, and why some plastics simply outfish others. From durability and action to scent retention and sink rates, we get into the real details that separate average baits from the ones fish actually prefer.

Whether you’re a weekend angler looking to upgrade your tackle box or a serious bait maker refining your craft, this episode delivers practical insight on choosing and using the right plastics for custom baits that get bites.

Tune in as we talk plastics, performance, and what actually makes a bait work.
