I liked the show early on, before it became commercialized.

Larry Dahlberg (Hunt for Big Fish) has done a number of shows where he showed the viewers how to make lures that he created.

You would die from old age if you waited for Sebille or Hogey to do the same...

Too many fishing shows that are commercials interrupted by a little fishing instead of the other way around.

Heck, I'll even watch "River Monsters" and get more fishing than the average OTW episode.

But why would Sebile and Hogy show you how they make their products?

The show is only a half hour. Take the offshore shows for example. If they spend time on how they wind leaders, tie knots, how rigs are made there will be 2 minutes left to show you the actually hit, fight, landing of a wahoo caught in new england waters which is pretty sick.
