Thank you for tuning into the SeaBros Fishing Podcast!
On this episode we sit down with long time friend and custom fishing rod builder, Zack Richardson. We first met Zack during our past time in the tackle industry; making squid bars, offshore lures, manufacturing skirts, and building custom rods.
Zack is one of the most determined and professional young business owners in the fishing industry in our opinion. Since 2011, he has owned and operated Zack's Custom Rods based out of Westport, Massachusetts. He and his crew offer the full spectrum of offshore and inshore rods, designed and specialized for anything from giant bluefin tuna to striped bass.
For any young aspiring entrepreneurs listening, Zack was a full time college student studying entrepreneurship and marketing, while minoring in environmental science at Bryant University. Throughout Zack's career at Bryant, he was awarded the GOSS Prize, received recognition from American/RI Innovation, and has been published as one of the most successful students at the university.
In this conversation we discuss building a business from scratch and juggling school work and while running a company. Zack takes us through his entire process of building a rod, or set of rods, from start to finish. He talks about the captains and anglers that he worked with throughout many seasons of testing specific blanks and setups, before offering them to the public.
Zack is an awesome person and is very passionate about what he does. We hope you enjoy this as much as we did!
Stay Tight,
Bryan and Taylor

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
