Who We Are

Omnia Fishing Founders

Why we did this

Did you know that only 15% of tackle purchases are made online? Big box still owns this industry. We've been working in fishing almost our entire careers and we knew something had to change.

There's a complex relationship between where you fish and what tackle you need throughout the year. The rest is just noise. Every lake page on our site will suggest techniques and products based on water clarity, species, structure, forage, community fishing reports, and time of year.

Omnia has built a tackle shopping experience where our warehouse is infinitely expandable, but the selection is always personalized to you based on the water you fish!

We're growing rapidly and we're focused on our improving our site experience, growing our product selection, and you, the customer. By shopping with Omnia and getting engaged by filing fishing reports, you're helping us take back the industry together!
