Mike Knight : On Top Lures
This episode I catch up with Mike Knight.
Mike is the man behind the brand that is OTL or otherwise known as On Top Lures. OTL is run out of his garage in Waipu, New Zealand by both he and his wife Rita. What originally started off as a hobby has quickly become a way of life.
During this podcast we cover a range of topics and get great insight to the man behind the brand, from the birth of the business to where it is now and everything in between.
Including a 20lb snapper on a stickbait, the uniqueness of a hand made product and how you never know which lure might just be “The One”.
Also encounters with yellowfin tuna land based in New Zealand, selling lures into Norway and Saudi Arabia, being invited to compete in an International top water tournament in Dubai, his use of recycled timber and so much more.
