Welcome to CastBack

At CastBack, our mission is to connect passionate anglers with the finest used fly fishing gear and equipment through a simple and secure online marketplace. We are dedicated to providing access to high-quality secondhand fly fishing products from other community members. Our goal is to enhance every angler’s journey, from novice to expert, ensuring they have the right tools and resources (at the right prices) for success on the water.

Why choose us?

We stand proudly as a 100% veteran-owned and operated small business based in the USA. Our mission is deeply rooted in the core values of service, dedication, and community—principles that have guided us during our time in the military and on the stream. We harness our passion for fly fishing to create not just a business, but a community dedicated to enriching lives and fostering connections.

Much like the camaraderie of the military, the fly fishing community thrives on mutual support and inspiration. It’s about helping each other untangle our lines and keep on fishing, no matter the challenges. To honor this spirit, a portion of every sale directly supports a strategic fly fishing-veteran charity, enabling veterans to find healing and solidarity through the sport we love.

We invite you to join us in this mission by supporting our website — together, we can create lasting ripples of positive change.

Meet the Founders

Dave and Justin’s friendship began over 20 years ago and spanned high school sports, military service, and now family life. Throughout the years, Dave and Justin bonded over a shared love for the great outdoors - fishing, foraging, hunting, and so on. In 2014, Dave introduced Justin to fly fishing, a sport he had found while living in Germany with his now wife. The rest is history.
