About Us
Mike Flinsky, Charter Captain & Small Business Owner
Rod Boss was originally started in 2015 by Mike Flinsky who is a licensed USCG captain and successful machine shop owner. Over the years of running a charter boat on Lake Michigan, Mike became tired of fixing issues associated with most of the popular rod holders and accessories on the market. Along with rod holder equipment failure, Mike wanted to design a rod holder that offered adjustability with just the use of one hand. Ultimately these factors led to the start of the Rod Boss product line. The overall objective of the Rod Boss is to optimize every fisherman’s time on and off water, while making fishing easier with our easy one-handed rod holder adjustments.
