About us

"Stealth and quick casting are important in kayak fishing, and I wanted a stake that stayed ready, in a vertical position, so I could drop it instantly and silently and not spook the fish," says John Phillips, Tampa native and The Skinny Stick inventor.  "So I created The Skinny Stick and I've been using it with success for over 7 years, from the limestone and rocky Nature Coast to grass flats and mangrove backwaters in west central Florida.  Now I'm pleased to say it's available to other kayak users."
