Hey fellow angler and Insider,
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what makes this sport so different.
Because for many of us, at some point it stopped being “just a hobby" and become something bigger...
The thing that clears your head after a stressful week.
The excuse to wake up before sunrise with your kids or best friends.
The feeling of freedom when the water is calm and the tide is moving just right.
And deep down… you know it’s something you want MORE of in your life.
That’s why I wanted to personally write this message to you.
Because if you’re reading this right now, chances are Salt Strong has already changed your fishing life in some way.
Maybe you’ve caught fish you never thought possible.
Maybe you’ve gained confidence on the water you never had before.
Maybe the Club helped reconnect you to a lifestyle you forgot you needed.
But even with all of that…
You probably still feel like you’re not fishing enough.
Not spending enough time on the water.
Not using the Club as much as you should.
Not fully living the fishing-filled life you know you truly want.
And trust me… I get it.
Life gets busy fast.
Work, responsibilities, schedules, and obligations have a way of pulling people away from the things that make them feel most alive.
Then before you know it, months go by without the kind of fishing memories you promised yourself you’d make more time for.
That’s why today is so important... and really what becoming a Salt Strong LIFER is all about.
It's not just a sweet membership upgrade (although it is a sweet deal).
It's a commitment to what's important.
A decision to stop treating fishing like “something you do”…
And fully embrace it as part of the life you want to live forever.
Because the anglers who get the most out of this lifestyle are the ones who intentionally prioritize it.
They commit to continuing to grow.
To learning more.
To staying connected to the water.
And to creating unforgettable memories with the people they love.
Since we believe becoming a Salt Strong Lifer is the absolute best decision and investment any angler can make... Luke and I water to do something truly special for those joining this special group...
Something to celebrate your new fishing future.
Something worthy of the occasion.
That’s why we custom designed the Limited-Edition Golden LIFER Slot Machine Rod.
Because becoming a LIFER deserves more than just another confirmation email.
It deserves something you’ll hold in your hands for years… and remember exactly what this decision meant to you.
Not something you can buy in a store.
Not something we’ll ever sell publicly.
But something that brings pride and continues to inspire you to live this lifestyle.
And my promise to you is simple:
As a Salt Strong Insider, you’ll always have access to the best fishing technology, tackle, training, and trends to help you fish with confidence the rest of your life.
And more importantly…
You’ll always have a place surrounded by anglers who love this lifestyle just as much as you do.
Because years from now, I don’t think any of us are going to remember another night spent scrolling our phones on the couch...
So maybe…
Today becomes the day that changes everything.
The day you finally go "ALL IN".
We'd be honored to see you Inside the Club, for life!
Tight lines,
Joe Simonds
Salt Strong Co-Founder

If fishing gets you fired up, you're passionate about being the best all-around-fisherman you can be, and want to be a part of the movement for this life...
This isn’t for everyone.
But it might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
Because becoming a Salt Strong LIFER isn’t just about getting access for life…
It’s about deciding what role fishing is going to play in your future.
Maybe you’ve already been an Insider for years.
You’ve seen firsthand how much the Club has improved your fishing, your confidence, and your time on the water.
And now you’re ready to fully commit to the lifestyle you already know you love.
Or maybe you’re newer to Salt Strong…
But something clicked.
You’ve become obsessed with learning.
Watching the trends.
Studying the patterns.
Consuming every tip, course, and experiment you can get your hands on.
You’re realizing this is more than a casual hobby to you.
It’s becoming part of who you are.
Or maybe this hits even deeper…
You love fishing, but you know you haven’t prioritized it the way you truly want to.
Life gets busy.
Work takes over.
Time slips by faster every year.
And deep down, you know you want more time on the water… not less.
More memories with your family.
More sunrise launches.
More unforgettable catches.
More moments where you feel fully alive.
That’s what becoming a LIFER represents.
A decision to stop pushing this part of your life aside “until someday.”
And instead…
Commit to becoming the angler, and the person, you know you want to be.
Because the truth is:
Fishing is one of the few things in life that only gets better with time.
The memories get richer.
The experiences get deeper.
The people you share it with become more meaningful.
And the anglers who get the most out of this lifestyle are the ones who decide to fully embrace it.
Not halfway.
For life.
Today can be a life-changing day for you. One where you say YES to prioritizing fishing for you and your family.


"First trip around the sun with Salt Strong!!!"
"How do you feel about the person that taught you how to fish?
For many, it's a father, Grandfather, or other family member, but for me it was Salt Strong....all of it. The community, coaches, education, tackle and app so now you can understand why I'm a Lifer so quickly. When I joined, I upgraded my sub 3 times in the first month devouring all of the courses with no "ragrets". The Mini and Mastery courses had and have such a big impact on shortening the learning curve.
First, this community answered every newbie question I could ask or overthink "what color", lol. Mario Relvini, Rob S, John Page, George Layton and so many others have taken the time to help educate, encourage and in Rob's case....mess with me and I'm eternally grateful.
I know if I have a question or struggling on the water, this community will not only have suggestions, but I can always count on positive reinforcement here. I have no other social media because of the negativity I see elsewhere.
COACHES!!! I have a music degree and took lessons from age 6 to 24 and through that, it's learn the concept, practice the concept, perform, evaluate, and repeat. I'm trying to "bring the cage to the field" and these coaches have truly helped me. Scott Ray was a friend and mentor even before he was a coach. He has endless fishing knowledge and such a natural coach. Fishing with him is difficult because we never shut up and lose focus, lol, but I'll never forget my trip to TX and his to FL this year. Pat Ogletree has such a great demeanor and sense of humor and has introduced me to some of my favorite tactics like my topwater obsession, but I think his best tip to me was telling me to use the HH 4/0 hook on the Mulligan because I posted that my landing ratio wasn't as good as I wanted.
Never looked back.
Like Scott, I used to talk to Matt Robinson a lot before he was on Staff and I followed his fishing reports. We have had the chance to talk a lot more at meetings and have fished together. Such a great talent on the water and just a good dude. Tony Acevedo "he only catches monsters" offers such great local intel that with him and Pat we are very blessed in this area. Finally, Luke Simonds managing the team but also taking time to always answer my rod/reel pairing ideas and other tackle questions. Now if I could only get access to his catch log. lol
Lastly, the Space Coast Chapter!!!! I always say it, Dell Murray is the reason I've gone to every meeting since my first. He and others shared the "reel" secrets and now that I have some of my own, I'm sure to help pay it forward. Joining the leadership team and working side-by-side to plan our activities are never without a laugh.
