Our story
Born from the water. Built for the obsessed.
Get Bent didn't come from a boardroom. It came from a boat.
From Local Hooker Rods to Get Bent
Bob Jenkins started Local Hooker Rods on Cape Cod. Get Bent was the tag line.
After the Wet Dream Fishing Team won the 2010 IGFA Offshore World Championship in Cabo using Local Hooker rods, business looked great… then a recession hit and many had to close their doors.
For many years people asked Bob what happened to Get Bent and why didn't he bring the brand back. Well, we're back.
Get Bent is a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) and will be donating time and money to veteran causes. Semper Fi — Always Faithful is the United States Marine Corps motto and Bob, as a Marine Sgt, lives by this.
Built for anglers
Every product is designed with the water in mind. We fish. We know what works.
No apologies
Get Bent is bold, irreverent, and unapologetic. This brand isn't for everyone — and that's the point.
Community first
Spun off from Local Hooker Rods, we're part of a bigger fishing community. We look out for our own.
