This week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast. Downrigger Dale and The Captain had a chance to talk to Montana fishing legend Dick Zimmer, aka, The Mackman of Zimmer Tackle. Dick has been fishing Montana’s waters for 70 years! His lures and other tackle for Lake Trout, Whitefish, Kokanee Salmon and many other species of fish are known by Montana Fishermen as some of the most effective ever made. In fact, most everything that Dick makes sells as fast as he can make them. So HOW DOES HE DO IT? Listen now to find out!
On this week’s Montana Outdoor Podcast Dick Zimmer also tells his fascinating story of how he became a tackle Manufacturer. SPOILER ALERT: He was working for a dental instrument manufacturer when an idea hit him. He took some left-over dental instrument materials and…well you just need to hear Dick tell the story! He also gave his lures some very strange names like; Rattle D Zastors, Leadagators and more. How did they get those names? Give this podcast a listen and find out!
