Offshore Fishing’s Most Underrated Gear? - Pat Bennett

On this episode of The Science of Fishing, Mark Farag sits down with Pat Bennett, the inventor and founder of E-SeaRider — the original bean bag built specifically for boaters and offshore anglers. Pat shares how the idea was born out of real time on the water, and how E-SeaRider has grown into one of the most trusted names in comfort for those who spend long days offshore.

They get into the early days of the brand, the challenges of creating a product truly made for fishermen, and how E-SeaRider designs with anglers in mind — from durability and function to the thoughtful materials that help reduce waste and last season after season. Pat also talks about the culture around offshore fishing, business lessons learned along the way, and a few fishing stories that’ll hit home for anyone who’s ever run 40 miles before sunrise.

Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a full-time deckhand, this episode gives you a closer look at the gear that makes the grind more comfortable — and the people who build it with purpose.🎣
