The Flats Bastard from Toadfish redefines inshore finesse fishing for spin anglers. Engineered for ultra-light lures and stealthy presentations, this rod bridges the gap between spinning and fly gear, letting anglers target tailing reds, bonefish, and other prized flats species with precision. Paired with the Carbon Elite II reel and our new 8lb Braid, this combo delivers unmatched control, accuracy, and power - making spinning gear in skinny-water more effective than ever.

Toadfish has launched the Abalone Collection to support the restoration of critically endangered abalone and the kelp forests they help sustain. In partnership with the Santa Monica Bay Foundation, proceeds from every product in the collection fund hands-on restoration efforts. With abalone populations down over 99%, this initiative helps bring balance back to coastal ecosystems—one reef, one shell, and one product at a time.

Toadfish’s biggest launch of the year is here: the Carbon II and Carbon Elite II combos. Redesigned from the ground up, these rods and reels are lighter, stronger, and more responsive than ever before. Whether you’re chasing reds on a flat or hunting snook deep in the mangroves, every detail is engineered for serious anglers who rely on their gear. Here’s what makes this new generation worth the upgrade.

Toadfish has launched three new tools built for inshore anglers: the Inshore Essentials Tool Kit, the upgraded Elite Series Pliers, and the premium 7.5” Titanium Pliers. Each product is designed with long-lasting materials, smart features, and practical utility to handle real on-the-water demands. From organized storage to corrosion-resistant performance, this new lineup raises the standard for fishing accessories built to perform day after day.

More women than ever are making waves in the fishing world, and Toadfish is here for it. This guide highlights the best gear for an epic girls’ day on the water—from sun-protective apparel to travel-ready rods and SmartGrip™ drinkware. Every product is designed for comfort, performance, and style, all while supporting coastal conservation through oyster bed restoration. Gear up, get out there, and keep putting 'em back.

Spartina grass plays a crucial role in protecting South Carolina’s salt marshes—stabilizing shorelines, filtering water, and creating habitat for marine life. This blog highlights a recent restoration project in Charleston, where Toadfish, the Toadfish Conservation Coalition, SCDNR, and LIVE Watersports teamed up to bring degraded marshland back to life. With the right tools and the right partners, restoring the Lowcountry’s ecosystems is more possible—and more urgent—than ever.

Shell to Shore, a Georgia-based nonprofit, is transforming discarded oyster shells into powerful tools for coastal restoration. In partnership with Toadfish, the organization collects, cures, and repurposes shells to rebuild oyster reefs that filter water, prevent erosion, and support marine life. With over 250,000 pounds of shells recycled so far, their work is a shining example of how small, local actions can create lasting environmental impact.

Toadfish’s latest performance shirts—the Put 'Em Back Longsleeve and Inshore Arsenal Longsleeve—are designed for life on the water.
