More than just Awesome Shirts and Hats!

Who is Hook & Drag?

We are a hunting and fishing apparel brand that focuses on premium quality lifestyle gear with technical useability.  We offer Fishing and Hunting Shirts, Hats, Sweatshirts, Hoodies, Jackets and accessories.  Many of our fishing shirts focus on high performance, low maintenance and are UV rated for sun protection.  We offer high quality Hunting lifestyle wear that will be effective in the field and look good out and about.  

A little about us personally - I have been an outdoorsman all my life.  My father took me fishing when I was four and hunting when I was eight.  I have been obsessed ever since. 

Along with being a U.S. Army Veteran and a Family man having raised five kids with my amazing wife - I have been a construction guy, restaurateur, software engineer/designer and Real Estate Investor.  I am also an artist and Graphic designer.  Bottom line is - I like to make stuff! 

Besides my Parents, my Wife, our five Kids and eight Grandchildren (so far) - and handful of lifelong friends - Fishing and Hunting make my life awesome!  

The more important part of the operation is my wife!  If you've met her or have been to any of our events - you probably already consider her a friend.  She is the very definition of customer service.  She will make you smile with her first sentence and maybe even laugh - but she is determined to make a friend out of you whether you buy something or not!  Along with her amazing personality, her extensive background in hospitality, event planning and retail management really helps make this thing work!

How did we get here? - One of my past ventures was a Screen Printing and embroidery business that I started right after I got out of the Regular Army.  I created designs and apparel for all kinds of industries and took work wherever I could get it - but my interest was truly in hunting and fishing designs for my friends and me.  Over the years I created custom designs and shirts for tournaments or events we would attend as well as team style shirts for hunting or fishing trips.  Yep, I was that guy.  I extended this to my friends who were selling local fishing tackle, Charter Captains or owned hunting guide services.  You can find my work mostly around Lake Erie, or the Tampa Bay area of Florida, but I have designed for companies and celebrities all over the USA and abroad.      

I have a unique style of design for my outdoor art and logos (fine art and graphic design) so if you know me or my work, you can recognize it right off.  At some point, I decided pull things together, define my style and create a brand. 

While we live more in the lifestyle space, I wanted our gear to have a heavy focus on the technical aspect as well as aesthetics.  I wanted to produce high quality useable gear with designs that scream "I love this stuff!"  ....and so here we are.        

In case you are wondering, Hook & Drag is more than just a bunch of cool logos and tuff gear - it's the rally point for an exciting way of life!

Outdoor Gear for Outdoor People - Our apparel and designs are an “In Your Face” Badge of honor representing who we are and what we do!  HUNT and FISH! 

Each brand has a story that represents outdoor enthusiasts like us who want to show the world their passion and take it to the next level. We like next level stuff!

Our friends include some of the coolest outdoor professionals that have some great experiences to share. They live the dream every day through exciting outdoor tv shows, informative blogs, amazing videos and some downright awesome pictures!

Most of our friends are everyday working stiffs like you and me. Men and Women who like to break away from the daily grind to be a part of something raw - and then can't get enough of it!

But we don't just visit the great outdoors to take in the scenery....

We are looking to take down or reel in the biggest fish and/or game in their class - and we want TUFF stuff to do it with!
