Meet Andy Bliss, a seasoned angler whose love for fishing ignited at a tender age, courtesy of his grandfather's guiding hand. Introduced to the waters of Lake Ontario in 1987, Andy's destiny was sealed with his first exhilarating encounter with a king salmon. As a high school student, he embarked on a journey as a mate on a charter boat during the summers, setting the stage for his future endeavors.

Choosing to pursue his passion further, Andy enrolled in college in the heart of Lake Ontario's salmon haven, Oswego County. In May of '99, he found himself aboard the Cold Steel, collaborating with Capt. Tom Burke to forge a highly successful lake business. In 2002, Andy established Chasin' Tail Adventures, expanding his reach to the rivers.

When it comes to Gibbs Fishing products, Andy holds a special affinity for the Rhys Davis Large Teaser Bait Head. Reflecting on attending a seminar in the '90s on the proper use of Rhys Davis heads, he attests that it remains the most effective and user-friendly bait head on the market. With its irresistible roll and captivating colors, paired seamlessly with the O'ki Kingfisher II, Andy crafts a winning King combo that consistently yields impressive results on the water.
