A bit about Brook:
Meet Brook, your friendly neighborhood fishing addict with a story that’s hooked from start to finish. Picture this: a pint-sized angler sitting on the rocks with dad and casting lines down at the wharf with grandma. But it was in the wild days of his early 20s that the passion truly took hold. Rock hopping, surf casting, and that magical first boat—a 10ft tinnie for those dawn harbor fishing adventures. And there, my friends, he got seriously hooked.
Now, let’s talk about work. You know, that thing we do so we can afford to feed our fishing obsession? Brook’s no stranger to that philosophy.
Fast forward to a particularly fish-less day in 2015. Frustrated over the reef with not a nibble in sight, Brook delved into his tackle box and found a sliding lure. “Why not?” he thought. Rigged it up, cast it over, and BAM! Fish on. The kind of day that turns frustration into triumph.
Since that game-changing moment, Brook’s been on a mission—exploring more spots, following drift lines, and embracing the joy of lighter gear. Lure fishing became a dance, a constant rhythm that kept him on his toes without the anchor-dragging hassle.
Now, about that tacklebox. It went from a modest collection to a lure wonderland. But, alas, life threw in a curveball—the kids arrived. Suddenly, those $20-25 lures became precious treats. And so, the idea sparked: why not share this awesome, clean fishing method with everyone?
With a background in procurement, Brook set out to make it happen. Two and a half years of research, testing, tweaking, and voilà—two awesome sliding lures were born. Perfect for Snapper, Trevally, Kingfish, and a whole aquatic cast of characters.
Stay tuned, fellow anglers. There’s more on the horizon, and Brook’s got a tacklebox full of surprises coming your way. Happy fishing!
