Our History
The History of Fat Boy Fishing Gear
Fat Boy Fishing Gear was founded in 2024 by Kevin and his wife, Anna, combining their shared dedication to faith, family, and fishing. Kevin, a lifelong angler who grew up in the Charleston, South Carolina area, spent countless days fishing the Santee Cooper region, including Lakes Moultrie and Marion and the Cooper River. His passion for fishing and desire to provide dependable gear to fellow anglers inspired the creation of the business.
With Anna’s business expertise and Kevin’s deep knowledge of the fishing world, the couple set out to deliver high-quality, affordable products that anglers could trust. They started small, selling their handcrafted fishing rigs and gear through friends, quickly earning a reputation for quality and personal service.
Today, Fat Boy Fishing Gear continues to grow, maintaining its commitment to innovation, customer satisfaction, and making fishing more accessible for anglers of all levels.
