Nate’s Nets creates custom wooden fishing nets for dedicated fisherman. Each net is built with dedication to detail & the angler’s unique fishing preferences, leading to a personalized, functional piece of art. Our one-of-a-kind creations mesh traditional craftsmanship with technology & functionality, ensuring a unique and memorable fishing experience.
We are the only net crafter in the region. Each net undergoes rigorous quality assurance checks, built through working directly with the angler to learn their story & deliver a net that embodies their journey.
Prize money will be used to scale our operations for B2B sales – supplying products to outfitters, fishing stores, and lodges. A portion of prize money will be invested into our production process to increase volume & efficiency. We will also expand our local footprint through marketing and outreach.
