Colter Backcountry was founded by thru-hikers who understand the transformative power of ultralight gear. After hiking the 3,100-mile Continental Divide Trail in 2021, we realized the need for premium ultralight fishing gear. Our gear is designed to be as minimal as possible, using the lightest and strongest materials available. Colter Backcountry is dedicated to those who love wilderness and solitude, offering gear for the true backcountry angler who prefers to go through the mountains, not around them.
