Episode Forty Three : Bonze Lures - Evolution of Mini Chiefie

Reel Tails with Sweens - Podcast By Dwayne Sweeney

Episode Forty Three :

This episode I sit down with Bonze and we discuss the evolution of my boat Mini Chiefie.

We share in detail the changes we have made and the learnings we have taken along the way.

The podcast has been a great platform for us to share information to help keen fishos build their confidence when targeting marlin.

As you will hear the journey has been extremely enjoyable for us both and we hope that you can take some learnings that we have had and apply them to your fishing.
