Heritage & History

Clam Outdoors was founded in 1991 in Minnesota, where ice fishing is a serious winter sport practiced by hundreds of thousands of anglers. The company developed the portable flip-over ice shelter — a design that allows a single angler to carry the entire shelter and fold it open over a hole in seconds — and helped transform ice fishing from a cold endurance test into a comfortable, productive outdoor activity.

The brand grew alongside the boom in ice fishing technology, expanding from shelters into rods, tip-ups, and the full range of gear the modern ice angler needs. Clam became part of the Rapala VMC Corporation family, gaining distribution scale while keeping its manufacturing in Minnesota.

Made in Medina, Minnesota

Clam Outdoors manufactures ice fishing shelters and accessories at the Medina, Minnesota facility. The flip-over shelter production involves cutting and sewing insulated fabric panels, welding aluminum frame components, and assembling the complete shelter system for the quality inspection that ensures it folds and deploys flawlessly in below-zero conditions.

Minnesota winters regularly produce conditions that would shut down manufacturing in other states, which means the workers at Clam's Medina facility are making gear they actually use and understand. For ice anglers who spend winter weekends drilling holes in frozen lakes, Clam shelters built in Minnesota represent gear designed and made by people who know exactly what the conditions require.
