Hand-Forged Tackle
for Rugged Waters

The Man Behind the Tackle

Meet the Prospector

Joe grew up in Utah and fell in love with fishing. After moving to Wyoming's Big Horn Basin — a place where you can fish for lakers at Buffalo Bill Reservoir in the morning, smallies in Yellowtail Reservoir in the afternoon, and then channel catfish, sturgeon, and sauger in the Big Horn River at night, Joe has spent the last two decades learning what actually works in this country, and none of it came from a catalog.

Frustrated with mass-produced tackle that fell apart after a season, Joe started making his own. Hand-poured jigs, 3D-printed accessories, and custom soft plastics — each one designed for the water he fishes every week.

Today he shares every trip on YouTube and sells his handmade gear to anglers who want something real. No corporate spin. No influencer packaging. Just tackle that catches fish.
