FOUNDER'S VISION
Our journey began with the vision of our founder, Ed Gaw. Armed with a master’s in Marine Biology and an undergraduate degree in Zoology, Ed saw an opportunity to revolutionize longlining technologies. He founded Hi-Liner Fishing Gear & Tackle, setting the stage for our commitment to innovation and quality.

PIONEERING EXCELLENCE
From the outset, our mission has been to provide cutting-edge solutions to the fishing community. Through partnerships with industry leaders like Momoi, we introduced products that not only met but exceeded the evolving needs of anglers worldwide. This dedication to excellence led to the birth of our recreational division, Diamond Fishing Products.

NAVIGATING CHANGE
As the industry evolved and regulations tightened, we remained steadfast in our support for commercial fishermen. Our unique position at the intersection of commercial and recreational fishing allowed us to adapt and thrive, continuing to innovate and provide superior products.

GLOBAL REACH, LOCAL PARTNERSHIPS
With a strategic relocation to NE Florida and a growing team of industry experts, Rec-com Outdoors expanded its reach while maintaining strong partnerships with family-owned manufacturers. This approach ensures flexibility and responsiveness to the diverse needs of fisheries around the globe.

JOURNEY OF EXPANSION
Strategic acquisitions have been integral to our growth and success. By adding companies like Hooker Baits, Jordan International, Zacatak Lures, and Bridle Buddy to our portfolio, we've strengthened our supply chain and broadened our product offerings, all while staying true to our commitment to quality and innovation.

FOSTERING INNOVATION
At Rec-Com Outdoors, we recognize the resilience and ingenuity of our industry's innovators. As a trusted ally to innovators, we pledge unwavering support, robust distribution channels and exclusive access to top-tier recreational and commercial accounts, ensuring that our industry continues to thrive.
