Time to confess something to you…
Luke and I messed up quite a bit trying to grow the Salt Strong Performance Fishing apparel line…
In fact, we had no freaking clue what we were doing in the beginning as we had never run an apparel or e-commerce business before.
Let me explain.

Here are just a few of the many mistakes that we have made in our first year:
- We didn’t have an official and legit Salt Strong “Shop” page for months
- We had the Salt Strong Shop page buried on our site. It wasn’t front and center until this past November (kind of hard for you to buy our gear when we make it tough to find)
- It was incredibly hard to order anything unless you were on your computer (not very mobile friendly)
- We took pictures of our gear with an equivalent of an iPhone in the beginning as we didn’t have the means to use fancy cameras or hire a professional photographer
- We didn’t even have a place where a customer could leave a review until last month! In other words, we went a full 11 months without giving you the option to publically tell us and everyone else if you think our gear is as STRONG as we say it is.
However, the one thing we did right…
We listened to our dad’s advice.
Our father taught Luke and I this lesson below at a young age, and he continually made a point to repeat to us for many years so that we would never forget it.
Here it is:
“Boys, no matter what job your are doing, no matter what product you are selling, and no matter what product you are manufacturing, the only thing you have to remember is to do it better and to work harder than everyone around you. And you must be consistent no matter how long it takes. Over time, it will pay off, you will be recognized for going above and beyond, and you will succeed…”
Well, Luke and I like to think we have followed this credo pretty well since we graduated college.
And we certainly had our dad’s voice in the back our heads when we started Salt Strong.
Meaning, we promised to only put our name behind the highest quality fishing performance fishing gear we could find.
Let me explain.
Before we ever ordered anything in bulk, we bought samples from vendors, we bought samples from our competitors, and we tested and wore every type of fabric and fishing shirt you can imagine.
Ultimately we went with the best of everything we could find from:
- The strongest, highest quality performance fishing shirts
- The strongest, highest quality hats
- The strongest, highest quality cotton shirts
It certainly wasn’t the cheapest option (like the fact we pay more to have “Permanent” designs on our shirts that can’t peel, crack, fade, or be taken off the shirt in any form or fashion), but we knew that we were producing products that were better than everyone around us (that was built to last for years and years around saltwater).
The great news is that we quickly heard from countless customers telling us that they had tried tons of different performance fishing shirts from most of the big brands out there, and that the Salt Strong shirt was their favorite.
But there was still one problem…
We had no place for them to leave a review.
So after 11 months of overlooking this important feature, we were “quick” to make reviews available on our website right before Christmas.
We turned it on and then we waited…
And waited…
And waited…
Until finally, the first review came in…
And then another…
And then another…
Salt Strong Reviews
Above, you will see three brand new reviews that just came in yesterday (this was for our Strong Angler Performance Fishing Shirts).

Needless to say, they reflect the time, energy, and money that Luke and I invested into making sure we only offered top quality gear.
And as you read through the reviews on the Salt Strong Shop page, you will also notice many mentions of fast delivery, good customer service, etc.
Well, that is because we are probably one of the few saltwater fishing apparel companies that does 100% of the customer service, fulfillment, shipping, and inventory in house.
Note: Most of our competitors outsource the entire customer service and fulfillment experience
But even with all of the great reviews in the last couple of weeks since turning it on, we have still had some customers asking us how they can leave a review.
So here goes below.
We have attempted to make it as seamless as possible now.
How To Leave A Salt Strong Review
The great news is that there are no extra steps to jump through to leave a review.
You simply click “Write a review”, click the amount of stars that you want to give us, and then write a description on your experience and your thoughts on the quality of the product.
Note: We will be working on the ability to leave video reviews next so you can show people how it fits, looks, etc.
What to do next?
If you made it this far, there is only one thing left for you to do…
- If you have already purchased Salt Strong gear in the past, please let us know how you like it by clicking on the Shop page and leaving a review for the product or products you purchased.
