Episode 39 - HorseShoe Tackle Owner & Painter AJ Mende

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.
