About us

Welcome to the store folks! We are Roggies Rigs and we're helping people fish! USCG Captain and veteran owned and operated right here in sunny Florida!

Give us a holler and "Let's Make a Bait!"

Favorite fishing spot

In the beginning

We were doing a lot of thinking and casting on our favorite fishing spots. It seemed we never quite had the right lure for the situation we were in. Couldn't cast far enough, not the right amount of flash, wrong color combo, etc. So we started tinkering in the shop.

the art of lure making

Building a lure from scratch is really something! We found out fast that there's a ton to think about and careful attention must be made when gathering materials, assembly, and most importantly, the art of it all. This ensures that the bait performs well and as intended. Subtle changes can mean a lot!

Diving in deep

Soon we had our entire tackle box filled to the gills with lures we made ourselves. It's actually quite an addictive process! Since there were enough lures to go around, we gave some away to friends and family. This got us thinking that maybe we could scale this thing up? Do we dare dive into the great abyss and start a new business? Yup, we dared... and we hope you enjoy the ride!

Helping folks out

Our big break came when there was a need to develop a rig that could readily catch a hogfish on large party boat charters and BOOM... the Banana Jig was born. Why not have a little fun catching what some would call the tastiest fish in the gulf? Anyways, we were making these jigs like crazy and it became hard to keep them on the shelves with our very first vendor, the Hubbard's Marina store. We started selling out of our venting tools too and suddenly, our little custom lure shop was up and running full steam ahead!
