Fishing grip maker signs international distribution agreement

One of the world’s leading suppliers of rod and tackle crafting components has announced an exclusive distribution agreement with FishSkins, maker of fishing rod grips.

From today, Florida-based Foundation Outdoor Group will be offering rod builders across the globe the opportunity to purchase the groundbreaking grips through Mudhole.com and the brand’s Advantage business-to-business purchasing programme.

In addition, the two companies are planning to collaborate in the development of additional lines of FishSkins’ grips for the fishing and rod building communities.

“We’re very excited to add FishSkins to our family of distributed brands. The quality, durability and unique designs of its polymer grips are unmatched in our industry and will be extremely popular with our rod building customer segment,” said Hunter McKamey, Foundation Outdoor Group Vice President.

“It’s always a pleasure to partner with companies that are so focused on delivering quality products. We are looking forward to a long and growing relationship with John and the entire FishSkins team.”

FishSkins offers a growing selection of custom polymer fishing rod grips, designed for comfort, feel and style. Its product line provides the angler with unmatched grip in all weather conditions with industry-leading durability. Unlike traditional cork, EVA and polymer fishing rod grips, FishSkins offers vibrant designs simulating target fish like largemouth bass, mahi mahi, redfish, and wahoo.

“Partnering with Foundation Outdoor Group for international distribution is the perfect way for us to bring FishSkins to the rod building community at large,” said FishSkins President, John Mazzanoble. “Through MudHole.com, Foundation Outdoor Group is the world’s leading distributor of rod building and fishing products. Leveraging its reach and expertise, we are confident that FishSkins will exceed our sales and growth expectations.”
