About this episode

Captain Ron Seidle discusses his journey in building a fishing gear business on Pine Island.

What started as a next chapter turned into something much bigger. In this episode, we sit down with Captain Ron to talk about building his business right here on Pine Island 🏝️ —from designing and testing his own rods and reels to working closely with manufacturers to bring his vision to life. The result? The Pine Island Special 🎣 —quality, affordable gear that’s opening the door for more people (especially younger anglers) to get out on the water and enjoy the sport. If you’ve been on the island, chances are you’ve seen his bright orange tent set up near The 🦅 Eagle’s Nest Restaurant or at local weekend events. Stop by, say hello—he truly loves talking fishing 🐟 and hearing your stories. ✨ “I don’t let there be a problem. If someone’s not satisfied, we work it out… because this is supposed to be fun.” — Captain Ron Seidle, Captain Ron’s Rod and Reel Combos 🎧 Listen now on your favorite podcast app or at: pineislandexperience.com 📧 We’d love to hear your thoughts: pineislandexperience@gmail.com
