Born from Passion for Pristine Waters
Discover the passion, expertise, and environmental commitment that makes Jungle Hook Bristol's most trusted name in specialized fishing tackle and rainforest expeditions.
Jungle Hook emerged from a profound love for the untouched wilderness and the thrill of ethical angling. Our founder, Elias Thorne, led his first Amazonian expedition over two decades ago, not just for the challenge of the catch, but for the profound lessons the ecosystem taught. What started as personal journeys into remote rainforests revealed a critical gap: high-performance fishing gear that truly respected the delicate balance of nature. From these early experiences, a vision crystallized – to offer world-class tackle and expeditions without compromise, rooted in deep conservation principles.

From a humble workshop in Bristol in 2008, crafting bespoke rods for a discerning local community, Jungle Hook has grown. Every step of our journey, from designing innovative sustainable lures to meticulously planning intricate international expeditions, has been guided by the principle of leaving no trace. We're not just selling gear; we're inviting you to join a movement dedicated to experiencing the wild responsibly, one cast at a time. Our Bristol roots keep us grounded, while our global adventures expand our horizons and expertise, ever refining our commitment to serious anglers and environmental stewardship.
