OUR STORY

Built for Blue Water

OWNER: Brad Ciociola

Short Rigger was born from a simple idea: offshore anglers deserve a brand that truly represents the sport.

Founder Brad Ciociola has spent more than a decade in the marine industry as the owner of Carolina Boat Company in North Carolina. When he's not at the dealership, you'll likely find him offshore with his family chasing billfish and competing on the North Carolina tournament circuit.

Built by fishermen, for fishermen, Short Rigger celebrates the offshore lifestyle—the boats, the fish, the camaraderie, and the pursuit that keeps us coming back to the blue water.

Our Commitment

Fishing isn't something we do. It's who we are. Short Rigger is for those who appreciate early mornings, salty sunrises and primal battles in blue water.

Short Rigger was born in North Carolina. We made our bones fishing the Graveyard of the Atlantic from Morehead City to Manteo.

We celebrate the tides that bind us; be it in the cockpit of a battlewagon in the gulfstream, the dock after a long day or a summertime tournament party. We all fly the same flag.
