Like every good story, the history of Innovative Reel Technologies® started with an American dream and a deep passion for success.

So while his business, Solar Innovations®, began to expand and take off, fishing always remained in his mind.

In 2005, a local fishing reel company closed their doors for the last time in Hegins, PA, and like many other American companies, began outsourcing more parts and production overseas. Employees were disheartened about losing their jobs in an industry they were so passionate about, so when Greg heard this, the reels began to spin—what if there could be a completely American-made fishing reel in the market? After countless hours of brainstorming, collaborating with the past experiences of our new team members, and leveraging ® knowledge and experience gained By 2006, IRT received its first patent for the Spin from building Solar Innovations®, Power Grip™ and by 2007, IRT® was officially the idea of IRT® was born. launched.
