About Ridgeline

Ridgeline’s founder’s number one priority is family, and so is ours. We use fishing as a way to make memories and teach life lessons. We don’t only build premium rods for dad, we think mom and the kids should be proud of their gear as well. We offer youth sized rods so your little anglers can be just like dad as well as rods for mom that are designed by, and used by his wife Taylor.

Many of the same values that guide Tyler as a Soldier are the same values that guide Ridgeline as a business. We believe in integrity, duty, selfless service and perseverance. When working with anyone at Ridgeline you can be assured that they share these values.

Ridgeline gives back. Service to others is in Ridgeline’s DNA. Our goal is to support and sponsor scholarship funds for children of Gold Star Families and provide fishing as an outlet for service members and veterans suffering from addictions and mental health battles.

Our Rods

At Ridgeline, we are extremely proud to build our rods on U.S. made carbon fiber and composite blanks. We pair that with a Fuji exposed-blank reel seat to help increase sensitivity and we weight the butt to move the balance point to the center of the reel seat. Pair all of that with our attention to detail and desire to build the best rod in the world and you get a more sensitive rod that feels feather light and that you can use all day without fatigue. We’re proud of our rods and know that they will serve you well.

Owner & Rod Builder

Tyler is a husband, father to three children, and is currently serving on active duty in the U.S. Army at Fort Liberty, NC. Tyler started bass fishing when he was 8 years old with his dad and uncle on small New York ponds. After graduating from West Point, the Army moved his family to Fort Drum, NY in 2019 where he and his wife Taylor spent countless hours chasing smallmouth on the St. Lawrence River. 5 years, 1 PCS, and 3 kids later, they use fishing as a way to spend time together as a family and teach their kids life lessons and values that are important to them. Tyler’s goal for Ridgeline is to inspire families to spend more time on the water together, make sure they have the best gear possible while they’re out there, and build world class fishing rods.

Warranty

We believe in our product and our mission to produce the highest quality rods that we can. We offer a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. If your rod breaks or is damaged due to poor craftsmanship or an error in our end, we will replace the rod free of charge. You pay to send the rod back to us and we’ll take it from there. We’ll identify what went wrong, correct it moving forward, and send you a new version of the rod that broke.

Our warranty does not protect against negligence so no high-sticking or boat flipping. Take care of your gear and we guarantee our rods will take care of you.

We understand things happen. Step on your rod? Slam it in the tailgate? We got you covered. Be honest with us about what happened, send us some photos of the damage, and we’ll send you a discount code for 50% off a rod in the same line.
