new luggage brand has been created for independent retailers. Cult Tackle, a young and innovative company originally formed to focus on bait boats, has expanded into the luggage market.
A spokesperson for Cult Tackle told
T&G: “The success of our bait boat business has led to increased demand from European dealers for additional product – something that we were more than happy to oblige with. “We have come up with a concise range of 16 products – carryalls, rod sleeves, bait boat bags, cool bags and waterproof coverings – all in a
distinctive DPM pattern.” T&G understands that the products
are only available to independent dealers.
“This is a niche brand – and offers dealers a very healthy margin – and no fear that the big box multiples will be slashing the margins on it. “We take pride in our brand – it is for the discerning specialist angler – and should be sold that way too!”
