Our Story: From Passion to Purpose

At Angler's Edge, our roots run deep, entangled with the very lines we cast. We're not just a gear retailer; we are a collective of lifelong anglers whose obsession with the perfect cast and the thrill of the catch blossomed into a mission: to equip every North American angler with the confidence and tools for unforgettable experiences.

Founded by childhood friends, David "Dusty" Rhodes and Sarah "Sunny" Miller, Angler's Edge began not in a boardroom, but on the banks of the mighty Columbia River. Their shared passion for fly fishing, bass tournaments, and conservation ignited a common goal: to provide fellow enthusiasts with gear they could trust, tested by anglers, for anglers.

From those humble beginnings, where every product was personally vetted on the water, we've grown into a trusted name in fishing equipment. Our evolution is marked by countless hours on lakes, rivers, and coastal waters, ensuring that only the best makes it into your tackle box. This dedication to authentic experience is the bedrock of Angler's Edge.
