About Kicker

Established in 1998 after years of meticulous research, Kicker Fishing Brand has been dedicated to producing high-quality fishing lures known for their consistent performance and erratic, side-to-side kicking action that attracts a variety of gamefish. In 2015, the brand underwent a revitalization and continues to evolve under the leadership of Randy Spizer and Skyler Khachadoorian, staying true to its roots of quality and innovation.

Kicker started with surface irons but has since expanded into plastics and terminal tackle, always pushing the boundaries of lure design. By creating new bites before anglers even knew they existed, Kicker continues to shape the future of fishing with products that redefine how and where fish are caught.
