No safe
harbor.
No limits.
Built by anglers, for anglers. This is how Offshore Outcasts was born from the water up.
How it started
Offshore Outcasts was started by Zak Higgins alongside his business partner Richie Whitamore during the early stages of building a brand around fishing, commercial maritime culture, and eventually biodegradable fishing products.
The idea grew from a shared connection to offshore life, fishing communities, and the rugged mentality of people who work and live on the water. What started as designing apparel and branding inspired by commercial fishermen evolved into building a company focused on both culture and innovation in the fishing industry.
Offshore Outcasts exists to represent hardworking fishermen, deckhands, outdoorsmen, and people who feel more at home on the water than anywhere else — while creating products that respect the environment that lifestyle depends on.
Why we built this
The brand was created out of a passion for fishing, offshore life, and the people who live outside the "normal" path. Offshore Outcasts was built to represent the people who feel more at home on the water than anywhere else.
At the same time, the company began exploring biodegradable fishing lures to reduce plastic waste in waterways — while still making products anglers actually want to use. We don't believe you have to choose between performance and responsibility.
We're building for the next generation of anglers — one that fishes hard, respects the water, and doesn't apologize for either.
