GSM Outdoors continues growth strategy with K&E acquisition

GSM Outdoors has grown again after its acquisition of K&E Tackle.

K&E’s brands include Stopper Lures, Carlisle Floats, Bear Creek, Best Tackle and Arnold Tackle among other popular and historically-trusted brands. 

“We are incredibly excited to acquire and steward the historic brands under the K&E Tackle umbrella,” says Crispin Powley, GSM Senior VP of Fishing. “We recognize the importance of these brands and products and their history of helping anglers be successful. Their emphasis on cold water, northern, midwestern, and multi-species fishing is a void in our current portfolio, and a demographic that we believe is extremely important to the industry.

“We look forward to continuing the traditions of value and success that the K&E brands have cultivated with anglers over decades.”
