Know the fish

Hook one in the wash and hold on

Hook a kingfish and you'll know it instantly, a freight-train run for the nearest reef or pylon and a fight that doesn't give an inch. That golden tail and the stripe down the flank mark a pelagic brawler that hunts the wash, the bommies and the current lines, equally at home for the spearo and the angler. Few fish reward good gear and good nerve like a kingie.

Our hand-painted Yellowtail Kingfish captures the chrome body and that signature yellow tail in proper detail. Built for the people who chase the pull, tees, keychains, charms and stickers.
