In Memory of Mark A. Shull Sr. — September 22, 1950 – February 21, 2026
Reel Grip lost one of its founders this February. Mark Shull, of Mogadore, Ohio, passed away unexpectedly on February 21, 2026, at the age of 75. A lifelong bass angler and rubber industry veteran, Mark turned his passion into innovation when he developed the Reel Grip in 2005 — an idea that grew into a company, a product line, and a piece of Northeast Ohio manufacturing history.
Mark's energy, his stories, and his pride in his family were unmistakable to anyone who knew him. He was full of life, and the Reel Grip was a reflection of his creativity, determination, and deep love for fishing.
He is survived by his wife Barb, their four children, and seven grandchildren. Our hearts go out to the Shull family.
