Outdoor Specialty Products is a small, early-stage company that makes and sells a single fishing accessory, the Reel Guard — a rubberized protective cover that attaches to fishing reels to prevent scratches and general wear. The primary market is fly fishing enthusiasts. The company sells the Reel Guard directly to consumers online through its own website and eBay, at a fixed price that includes shipping, and has shipped to customers in over 25 U.S. states. The business is a one-person operation run by its founder, Kirk Blosch, from his home, with no employees. Manufacturing, printing, and packaging are contracted out to third parties, and the company owns its injection mold for the Reel Guard. The company holds a U.S. patent on the Reel Guard. Outdoor Specialty Products has been funded almost entirely through related-party loans from its founder and another principal stockholder. The company is developing two additional products — a slow-sinking fishing sinker and a modular fly rod — though both are in early stages and dependent on securing additional capital.
