GSM Outdoors continues to grow its portfolio with the acquisition of K&E Tackle. K&E’s brands include Stopper Lures, Carlisle Floats, Bear Creek, Best Tackle, and Arnold Tackle.

“We are incredibly excited to acquire and steward the historic brands under the K&E Tackle umbrella,” said 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 multispecies 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.”

For over 70 years, the GSM family of brands has supplied hunters, shooters, knife enthusiasts, and anglers by manufacturing products that prove themselves in the field, on the range and the water.
