WHAT ISLANDER IS ABOUT
There’s a journey in fishing. It starts when you are young when it’s about catching as many fish as possible. Then on to bigger fish. Then the biggest. But there comes a point when your journey takes a turn. Family comes along. Quality time on the water replaces size and quantity. Watching your children—and grandchildren—go through the same journey you did is now your ultimate prize.
At Islander, we ourselves are at various stages of that trip, but what we all agree on is that we want our equipment to be along for the whole ride. That’s why precision matters. That’s why quality matters. It’s why we build in house on Vancouver Island. We want our journeys and yours to turn into legacies passed on through memories and the reels themselves.
So next time your rod dips, the single action starts spinning and the reel sings, know that we at Islander are happy to have helped you take your next step.
