Bird of Prey Fishing Tackle officially started in January of 2014, however we have been making custom hand tied jigs and hand poured lead weights since 2009. The adventure began long ago with a love and passion for all types of fishing that has been deeply rooted in the Arnold family tradition. Bill Arnold was just a boy when he started fishing and he fell in love with the sport from the get go. He quickly mastered most styles of fishing along the panhandle of Florida from freshwater to offshore. Since he was a boy, Bill has always fished the local piers for cobia, king mackerel, and tarpon. He worked for several summers when he was a teenager as a local deck hand on a charter boat fishing for snapper and grouper. Later on he would eventually end up making a career with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for over 30 years raising large mouth bass and striped bass to stock in many local rivers and lakes. His dedication and passion for fishing is second to none.
