Fish Monkey Named Official Glove of Tropic Star Lodge

For retailers, the partnership offers a compelling new sales narrative backed by authentic, on-the-water use. Products proven daily by professional crews in a world-class fishery provide a powerful point of differentiation at retail, reinforcing Fish Monkey’s premium positioning and driving consumer confidence at the point of sale.

For more than 60 years, Tropic Star Lodge has set the standard for offshore angling, drawing serious fishermen from around the globe to this remote Pacific outpost. Known for its prolific fishery and record-setting catches, the lodge provides access to blue marlin, black marlin, sailfish, tuna and dorado—often just minutes from the dock.

The partnership aligns two brands built on performance, innovation and a shared passion for fishing. As part of the agreement, Tropic Star Lodge crews will use Fish Monkey gloves exclusively while leadering and releasing hundreds of billfish each season—providing real-world validation in one of the most demanding fisheries on the planet.

“Tropic Star has always been about delivering world-class fishing with world-class service,” said Bill Boyce, host and ambassador at Tropic Star Lodge. “Our crews put their gear to the test every day, and Fish Monkey gloves give us the protection, grip and durability we need when it matters most.”

Fish Monkey has established itself as a category leader by designing purpose-built gloves that deliver superior sun protection, enhanced grip and long-lasting durability for anglers fishing in extreme conditions. At Tropic Star Lodge, where anglers routinely battle some of the most powerful gamefish in the ocean, that level of performance is essential. “Fishing at Tropic Star Lodge is the ultimate proving ground for both angler and equipment,” said Tim Mossberg, founder and president of Fish Monkey. “We’re proud to partner with a destination that shares our commitment to performance and to providing anglers with the best possible experience on the water.”

Together, Fish Monkey and Tropic Star Lodge represent a shared dedication to innovation, performance and the pursuit of unforgettable days on the water.
