The Veteran Landing Net
Story & Inspiration
Created in tribute to those who have served our country, The Veteran grew from Rustic Angler Forge’s early collaboration with Project Healing Waters. It stands as both a practical fishing tool and a quiet symbol of gratitude — honoring the freedom to fish in peace and the resilience of those who protected it.
