About Us
Our Story
Tacti-Grip Fishing was born out of a long weekend on the ice, two sore shoulders, and a big idea. Brothers-in-law Matt and Jeff had just wrapped up a few days of chasing fish through the ice when they noticed how fatigued their arms and shoulders felt from endless jigging. Sitting around and talking it over, one thought stood out:
“What if we could change the angle of the wrist to be more ergonomic?”
That question sparked months of research, trial, and countless prototypes. Eventually, they landed on a design they both loved — a grip that not only felt better but could be moved from rod to rod in seconds, faster than changing a lure.
From Grip to Complete Systems
The Tacti-Grip wasn’t just about comfort; it became a fully functional upgrade for the ice angler. We added:
- Heated Handle Option – A hollowed interior for a heating element to keep your hand at a balmy 90°F.
- Built-In Storage – Use a divider to store bait or lures right in the grip, perfect for hole hopping.
- Integrated Line Cutter – No more fumbling for clippers; just snip and get back to fishing.
- Optional Lanyard – Because we’ve seen too many rods vanish down the hole (thanks, Dad).
2019 – The Ice Shuttle Era Begins
By 2019, our passion for solving fishing problems had grown beyond just the grip. We launched our first Tacti-Grip Ice Shuttle, designed to make transporting fishing electronics and gear easier, safer, and more efficient.
We saw too many anglers struggling with awkward loads, tangled wires, and gear scattered across the ice. So we built a compact, modular system that kept everything in one place — battery, electronics, transducer, rod holders, and more — ready to grab and go.
Over time, the shuttle evolved into a fully customizable platform. Today, anglers can add accessories for storage, lighting, electronics, cup holders, tackle mounts, and more, making the Ice Shuttle a true “base camp on the ice.”
Why We Do It
We’ve taken our own experiences — the little frustrations, the lost gear, the cold hands — and turned them into products that solve problems for anglers everywhere. Our mission is simple: build gear that helps you fish longer, more comfortably, and with fewer headaches.
Every Tacti-Grip and Ice Shuttle is built with care, tested on the ice, and backed by a limited lifetime warranty against workmanship and defects.
