Customer Warning
Counterfeit sellers have illegally copied the design of our original Ambidextrous “Ambie” model and misused copyrighted images and videos to mislead customers. These knockoffs are typically made with substandard materials, poor workmanship, and no quality control or field testing. Buying counterfeit products can lead to product failure, lack of warranty, safety risks, and a disappointing fishing experience. Only genuine Pine 9® Holsters are backed by our quality guarantee, warranty coverage, and customer support.
Marketplace Advisory
As of September 5, 2025, genuine Pine 9® Holsters are not authorized for sale on Amazon, Walmart, Temu, TikTok, AliExpress, Alibaba, eBay, or Etsy. Any listings resembling our Ambidextrous model “Ambie” model on these platforms are unauthorized and likely counterfeit. To confirm authenticity, please refer to our Identification Guide below or shop only through our official Vendors & Resellers Page.
Legal & Counterfeiter Notice
All Pine 9® products and media are protected by U.S. Copyrights, Trademarks, and, where applicable, Patents. Pine 9® and JettyHawk™ are registered trademarks of Pine 9® Solutions LLC. Counterfeiting Pine 9® products is an infringement of U.S. federal trademark, copyright, and patent law. Violators may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.
Here’s how to spot the difference between a genuine Pine 9® Holster and a counterfeit:
1. Check For Our Branding
Every authentic Pine 9® Holster comes with our Pine 9® name and branding clearly displayed on packaging and product inserts.
Our Ambidextrous model clearly displays our Pine 9® Trademark on a raised rectangle seated on the front tube.
The logo is a permanent feature of our molds.
Counterfeits often crop or blur our logos from stolen images to disguise fakes.
Our Hand Crafted model clearly displays our Pine 9® Trademark on a raised and riveted Coyote Brown Carbon Fiber riveted rectangle shaped Kydex, and is always positioned at the top left of each holster.
Counterfeits often remove logos from stolen images, or they use our lifestyle photography models and cover our hand crafted model with their counterfeit version.
All JettyHawk™ Model clearly displays our Pine 9® Trademark on a raised rectangle, and is always positioned at the top left of each holster.
The logo is a permanent feature of our molds.
Counterfeits often crop or blur our logos from stolen images to disguise fakes.
2. Product Listing Title Name
We always include “Pine 9® Fishing Rod Holster” in listings and communications outside of our website.
Counterfeits often use the term “Slide-in Fishing Rod Hip Holster.” We never use that phrase.
3. Check The Seller or Manufacturer Name
If the listed name doesn’t say “Pine 9® Holsters,” it’s not us. Only buy from our official website (pine9holsters.com) or resellers listed on our Trusted Vendors page.
The only safe places to purchase genuine Pine 9® Holsters are:
- Our official website: pine9holsters.com
- Authorized resellers listed on our Vendors & Resellers Page.
4. Price Too Good to Be True
If you see Ambie-style holsters sold for under $20, it’s almost certainly a fake.
Genuine Pine 9® products reflect U.S. labor, materials, and patented design.
Again, genuine Pine 9® Holsters are not authorized for sale on Amazon, Walmart, Temu, TikTok, AliExpress, Alibaba, Ebay, or Etsy. Any listings on those sites are counterfeit or unauthorized.
5. Made in America, Material & Build Quality
Authentic Ambie models are made right in New England, USA, using field tested materials by real anglers.
Counterfeits are usually made overseas with thin, brittle plastic. They may crack, bend, or fail first day or within weeks of use. Products may not even arrive on your doorstep.
6. Match Images Against Our Authentic Images
Compare listings with our official copyrighted gallery. If the images don’t match, it’s not authentic.
7. Warranty & Customer Support
Every authentic Pine 9® Holster includes warranty coverage and responsive customer support.
Counterfeits often may not have warranty, return policy, and no way to get help when they break.
Why It Matters
Counterfeits don’t just hurt our small U.S. business — they hurt you, the angler. A failed holster could mean dropping your rod in the water, missing a catch, safety and material concerns, or damaging expensive gear.
