Team 2KJ

Handcrafted tackle doesn't happen without the right people around it. Meet the 2K Jigs team, learn about our Elite Pro Staff, and find out how to become part of the Customer Club that gets first access to new products and member-only deals.

Dan Hatchew

President & CEO

Dan Hatchew started tying jigs out of his Michigan garage in 2013 and never stopped. Today he is the founder and sole builder behind 2K Jigs, hand-tying every bait with copper wire and Living Rubber skirting made on site. His jigs have accounted for more Great Lakes tournament earnings than any other handcrafted bait in the region.

David Stevens

Chief Operating Officer

David Stevens is the Chief Operating Officer of 2K Jigs and the reason the operation runs as smoothly as it does. A lifelong angler and close friend of Dan Hatchew, David handles the business side so Dan can stay on the bench tying jigs. Between the two of them, every part of 2K Jigs gets the same attention to detail.

Derek Masters

2K Jigs Club President

Derek Masters is the President of the 2K Jigs Customer Club, a community built around the anglers who have been fishing our baits from the beginning. Club members get access to exclusive discounts, member-only promotions, and early access to new products before they hit the general public. If you're a loyal 2K customer and want to be part of something bigger, Derek is the man running the door.
