we put death metal fonts on fishing gear and somehow it wasn't a joke.
Spoiler: it involves Louisiana, stubbornness, and an unreasonable amount of time spent on fonts.
We looked at every fishing brand on the market and saw the same thing: pastel colors, corporate logos, gear that looks like it was designed for a dentist's waiting room. Nothing for people who actually fish hard, blast heavy music on the water, and don't need their clothes to apologize for who they are.
The gap wasn't subtle. It was enormous. And nobody was filling it.
So we filled it. Death Metal Fishing — outdoor performance gear with the aesthetic of a band you'd see at a warehouse show in New Orleans. UPF 50+ sun shirts with illegible logos. Windbreakers that look like album covers. Quality you'd expect from Carhartt, vibes you'd expect from a mosh pit.
We're not just a fishing brand. We're for anyone who hunts, camps, boats, or generally exists outdoors and is tired of looking like everyone else doing it. Louisiana roots, quality-first mentality, death metal fonts because why not.
We tested fabrics obsessively. Scrapped prototypes that looked too commercial, too soft, too much like something you'd find at a Bass Pro checkout. Every product gets tested on the water, in the marsh, in conditions that would make most "outdoor" brands file an insurance claim.
Is this for everyone? Absolutely not. And that's the whole point.
Four people who should probably be doing something more responsible.
Co-Founder · The Vision
Had the idea. Wouldn't shut up about it until it existed.
Co-Founder · The Backbone
Keeps things from catching fire. Sometimes literally.
CEO
Runs the business. Builds the empire.
Co-Founder · The Wildcard
Every team needs one. We're not entirely sure what he does.
we're not a metal brand. we're not a fishing brand. we're an "outdoor gear that doesn't look like it was designed by committee" brand. and it works.
