The journey began in February 2009. Our goal was to design a comfortable fishing shirt with mesh panels on the side and incorporate a vented mask with 'gills' for ventilation. Sun can be brutal so we set out to make being on the water as enjoyable as reeling a big catch.

Love the water. Focus on fishing.

GILLZ Gear is 100% homegrown for every professional angler to outdoor enthusiast. We represent a passion for staying on the water from sun up to sun down; and we prefer the experience free of fighting the sun or the bugs. It all originated with drowning some chicken scratch on the back of a napkin. We continue to grow with a simple endeavor for making gear that fits well and breathes like a fish.
