During our time on the West Coast earlier this year, we saw Salty Crew gear everywhere. And the brand is increasingly making its way east, too. There’s a good reason: Salty Crew combines serious technical performance with a distinctive style that doesn’t look like every other piece of fishing gear in your closet.
At ICAST 2026, we caught up with Matt Florentino, who walked us through three Salty Crew pieces that caught our attention.
Whether you’re chasing yellowtail off California, smallmouths in the Midwest, or stripers along the New England coast, these are worth a look.
