About Rob Fort Series
The Rob Fort Series of fishing and kayaking accessories has been developed since 2007 and was formally known as RFX and Salt 's' Life brand, however a name change was inevitable to reflect the primary creator who is well known and recognized within the sport of kayak fishing. Most products developed have had extensive testing in the field and are designed to enhance the users ability. Rob is constantly pushing the boundaries when fishing from kayaks and is acknowledged for introducing and developing soft bait, inchiku, micro jig and mechanical jigging techniques from kayaks. This has lead to associated equipment specifically developed for these respective techniques.
All components are sourced locally and made by hand with quality and longevity the main feature of the accessories.
