Since 2004
Founded by Bill Pino in Tyaskin, Maryland, Squid Nation started with a single experimental squid spreader bar that caught a 186-pound big eye tuna. Within weeks, over 100 orders came in. Two decades later, our dredges and lures are trusted by charter captains from the Mid-Atlantic to Costa Rica.
