About Us
Our Mission
At FishUSA, our mission is to be the industry’s authority and most trusted source for premium freshwater fishing tackle by serving passionate anglers who demand the best gear–delivered with our unmatched combination of service, expertise, and value.
Our Story
Founded in 2000, FishUSA began its journey in a modest garage with the spirit of true entrepreneurial grit and passion for fishing. What started as a small-scale operation fueled by a love for angling and the outdoors has since blossomed into "America's Tackle Shop." Now, with nearly a quarter century of service under our belt, we reflect on our growth with pride and gratitude.
From those early days in the garage to becoming a leading online retailer of fishing tackle, our evolution has been nothing short of remarkable. Our headquarters in Fairview, PA, stand as a testament to our journey, housing our corporate office, a beloved Pro Shop, and a sprawling warehouse. Located within the famed "Steelhead Alley," a mere cast away from the shimmering waters of Lake Erie and Presque Isle Bay, we are at the epicenter of America's angling paradise.
Our story is one of perseverance, community, and the relentless pursuit of providing the best fishing gear and experience to anglers across the country. It's a narrative we cherish and one that continues to inspire every facet of our operations at FishUSA.
