Bakkan Fishing was built on a simple idea: great fishing experiences should never be limited by where life takes you. We design and build high-quality travel fishing rods and gear for anglers who refuse to compromise performance for portability. Whether you're hiking into remote water, flying across the country, or keeping a rod ready in your vehicle, our equipment is made to go wherever your adventures lead.

​

At our core, we’re anglers ourselves. Every product we offer is guided by real-world use, practical design, and an obsession with durability and feel. From carefully selected materials to thoughtfully engineered components, we focus on creating rods that fish the way they should — responsive, reliable, and enjoyable to use.

​

But Bakkan Fishing is about more than just gear. We believe fishing connects people — to nature, to family, and to moments that matter. That belief has inspired us to build a community around craftsmanship, learning, and giving back.

​

Through our Build a Rod. Make a Difference. initiative, Bakkan Fishing partners with organizations and communities to host rod-building events that raise funds and awareness for meaningful causes. These events bring people together to learn the craft of rod building while supporting efforts such as addiction recovery programs, cancer research, veteran support organizations, and other community needs. Participants not only walk away with a rod they built themselves, but also with the knowledge that their experience helped make a difference.

​

We’re passionate about helping people discover rod building, learn new skills, and experience the satisfaction of fishing with equipment they truly trust. By combining craftsmanship with charitable impact, we hope to use fishing as a force for good in the communities we serve.

​

Our mission is straightforward: build dependable travel gear, strengthen the fishing community, and use our craft to give back. Wherever your next trip is headed, Bakkan Fishing is designed to travel with you — and help make a difference along the way.
