Jerry Esten

Jerry Esten has had a very diverse background since he started fishing California in 1950. He has manufactured his own jigs, been a tackle rep and then became the owner of his own tackle shop. Jerry has written for South Coast Sportfising in the 1960’s. He produced the first kayak fishing derby and ran it for the next 8 years. Jerry recalled, “I’ve always loved local fishing and throwing a jig. I was over zealous in my efforts to prove my line of jigs worked great. During this time, I had the pleasure to meet and work with many of the finest skippers and tackle industry pioneers.”
