About Sixgill
Sixgill Fishing is an American rod and reel brand founded in 2015 and based in Southlake, Texas. The company was started by anglers who wanted quality gear that lasts without big-box-store pricing, and it sells direct to consumers rather than through the usual manufacturer-to-importer-to-distributor-to-retailer chain. Gear is built by manufacturing partners and then designed, tested, inspected, packed, and shipped by the company itself, which is how it keeps prices down. It remains a small, owner-operated team that handles product development, testing, content, customer service, and fulfillment in house.
The catalog covers a wide range of species and techniques from a single brand. Bass casting and spinning rods anchor the lineup (Cypress, Myakka, Scythe, Nexus, Tartarus, and Saga), alongside ultralight rods (Aether) and a set of species-specific models: surf (The Cape), ice (SP), catfish (Erebus), panfish (Arachni), and musky (M1). Bass series lean on carbon blanks with reworked tapers, while the species-specific rods use materials matched to the job, such as a glass-and-carbon composite blank on the catfish Erebus. Sixgill also sells reels, terminal tackle, and apparel under the same direct-to-consumer model.
