About Us.

Our Mission

AnglerEdge was created as a comprehensive resource for fishing enthusiasts of all levels who want to enhance their skills and make informed decisions about gear.

Growing up fishing the lakes and rivers of the Midwest, I developed a passion for angling at a young age, which has only grown over my 20+ years on the water. This extensive experience enables me to give you honest and reliable gear recommendations, as well as practical advice to improve your fishing game.

Beyond being an avid fisherman, I also have a deep appreciation for outdoor adventures and the camaraderie that comes with fishing. My background includes participating in local tournaments and spending countless hours perfecting techniques. I’m excited to share my knowledge, from selecting the right lures to mastering different fishing styles.

More About Our Process


Site Goal

At AnglerEdge, our mission is to provide top-notch fishing gear reviews and guides, tips for improving your angling skills, and advice to make every fishing adventure one you’re truly proud of. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a seasoned pro, we’ve got resources to help you reel in success.


How We Review

When I review fishing gear, I always prioritize products I’ve personally tested. However, I never make a product number one just because I’ve used it myself. I consider input from my fellow anglers, industry experts, and reliable user reviews to ensure you get the most accurate and trustworthy recommendations. My aim is to help you choose the best gear for your needs, from rods and reels to tackle and accessories.


Our Team

Currently, the main contributors to AnglerEdge are me and Alex. Occasionally, my wife lends a hand with editing and fine-tuning articles. I personally oversee all content to maintain the quality and integrity you can trust. In the future, I hope to bring on additional experienced anglers to expand our coverage of fishing gear and techniques.


Why Trust Us?

With over 20 years of fishing experience across a variety of waters, we’re committed to sharing our hard-earned knowledge. You can rely on us to give honest and informed recommendations, ensuring you’re equipped with the best gear for your next fishing adventure.


Why Was This Blog Started?

AnglerEdge began as a passion project driven by a love of fishing and a desire to share that passion with others. While making some income from the site is a plus, we’re dedicated to prioritizing the quality and integrity of the content over profit. Our focus will always be on delivering value to you.


How Can I Contact You?

We’d love to hear from you! For questions, feedback, or collaboration inquiries, head over to our contact page. While I’ll do my best to respond promptly, please note that I juggle running this site with a full-time job. If you need urgent, expert advice on fishing gear or techniques, consider consulting a local fishing expert or guide.


Contact Us

If you’d like to collaborate or report an issue with the site, feel free to get in touch. Just keep in mind that I have a full-time job, so it may take me a little while to respond.

For immediate, hands-on fishing advice, reaching out to your local fishing guide or tackle shop may be your best bet.
