Our Story

Our journey started in a basement in 2022, the classic American entrepreneurial way. We built the Duce Dropper because one small snag can ruin a day on the ice: losing fish to your transducer. After all the prep, money, and time spent getting a fish to the hole, it’s maddening to lose it just because the transducer cable gets in the way. Especially bluegill and their hole circling! 

 

Necessity is the mother of invention, so we solved it—once and for all.

​

The first prototype looked like a medieval wooden catapult, and after countless tweaks, field tests, and hard lessons, we landed on the current design. The Duce Dropper lets you lift the transducer out of the hole with a tap of your foot, so you can fight the fish with both hands. No more calling a friend to yank the transducer out, no more awkward bending and rod-lifting in the classic 'ducer dance', and far less downtime between hook-set and getting back to fishing. Push the lift arm down and you’re right back where you need to be—with more fish‑on time, not gear‑tangle time. That matters especially when a roaming school passes by: imagine landing two or three fish instead of just one because you didn’t have to reset.​ Goodbye frustrations!

 

We’re proud that the Duce Dropper is Veteran‑Owned and American‑made—the result of grit, iteration, and a real love for fishing.

Why It Matters To You

We designed the Duce Dropper to keep you fishing, not futzing. That’s our why.​

  • One toe tap removes your transducer from the hole.

  • One push puts it back exactly where you want it.

  • No more lost fish, tangled cords, or ice‑clogged holes.

  • More bait time in front of fish, less fumbling—especially when schools pass.

  • Acts as a locator caddy so you can easily move from hole to hole. See demo video here.

  • No electronics or batteries.

  • Lightweight, collapsible, and durable.

  • Completely adjustable counterweight to accommodate 99% of transducer weights using water or any fill you choose—pebbles, sand, even a celebratory liquid at the end of a great day of fishing!

  • Lifts the transducer 26–28 inches to clear the hole cleanly.​ See demo video here.
