The guys explore the relationship between confidence and catching fish, discussing how experience, preparation, persistence, and trusting your decisions can help build the confidence needed to become a more successful surfcaster.

A self-proclaimed "Glide Bait Evangelist," Jimmy Fee of On The Water Media joins the guys this week to spread the gospel of the glide bait—in glide we trust. Can the guys be swayed to the dark side? Are glide baits just a passing fad, or are they here to stay as a staple in the well-equipped surf bag? The crew attempts to define the glide bait before diving into how to fish them, where they fit into a night's rotation, and why they might deserve a permanent place in the surf angler's arsenal. It's the beginning of what's sure to be an ongoing discussion about one of the hottest—and most debated—tools in the surf game.

On this week's episode of The Surfcast Podcast, Jerry and Toby break down one of the most overlooked aspects of surf plug action: roll. How much should a surf plug roll, and is more roll always better? The guys discuss how plug roll affects swimming action, why some plugs are designed to roll more than others, and whether roll is a desirable trait for every surf plug or only specific types of lures. If you're into striped bass surfcasting, plug selection, and dialing in the action of your lures, this is a topic worth exploring. What do you think? Is roll a good thing, or can a plug have too much? Let us know your thoughts and experiences! Read our blog: https://surfcastpodcast.com/category/in-the-wash/ Please visit our sponsors!

In this week's episode, the guys revisit the popular 4-Plug topic, this time tackling breachways and outflows. The rules are simple: each angler can choose only four plugs, and specific lures must be identified where applicable by brand, size, and weight. Conditions and time of day cannot factor into the selections, color is not required, there is an infinite supply of lures (magically replaced if lost), and bait doesn't count. So, what did the guys choose, and how would their selections differ from yours? Did they overlook a blatantly obvious choice? Give it a listen, then let us know what four plugs you'd take!
