What started out as a tradition over 70 years ago has turned into a thriving hobby and business.  Way back in the 1950’s our Great, Great - Uncle Earl started traveling up the Georgian Bay in Ontario, Canada.  He was the one who took the time to establish a camp and place for his family to go and spend time.  Traveling from Ohio up to Ontario, the family would make the trip at least once a summer, sometimes more, to spend the summer fishing for Pike, Walleye and Bass.  That is where the tradition was born.  That is where the gift of making worm harnesses began.

Now, 4 generations later, we have brought the hobby of making worm harnesses into a business!  Sharing our love for spending time outdoors, hunting, fishing, camping, with you all.  My wife, Jordan, and I love taking trips with our dog seeing our beautiful planet!  Traveling to camp, hike, fish, hunt, and sight see.  As an avid outdoorsman, I love spending my time perfecting my craft, reading up on the latest in the industry, and making worm harnesses.

Schelk Outdoor Supply is a small American company started in our basement.  We spend our time making everything from the worm harnesses, merchandise, and tools for my fellow outdoorsman.  I take my time and put my heart and soul into each and every worm harness made.  Sourcing from small companies when I can, and handcrafting each one.  

I love fishing for walleye and other fish in our local lakes, especially Lake Erie and the Great Lakes Region.  My goal is to bring my family’s tradition, to each and every fisherman out there to experience the joy and excitement of reeling in your lifetime fish! 

So thank you for taking the time to visit our site and read our story!  We hope that you find as much joy and pride in our products as we do!
