What is Catch Co?


At Catch Co, our purpose is to rescue humanity from the indoors by connecting them with America’s top outdoor sport: fishing.

Most importantly, we aim to be the industry’s most data-driven and customer-centric company.


We are building 3 unique businesses to deliver on that mission:

  • Karl’s Bait and Tackle - Launched in 2018, Karl’s is a unique and exciting ecommerce experience that brings the local tackle shop to the Internet.
  • Catch Co. fishing products - Catch Co also designs and develops some of fishing’s most popular and innovative brands and products, sold online and in retail throughout the world.

  • To support these businesses, we have built a best-in-class foundation of creativity, technology, data, and a fun and supportive culture. We have also built durable partnerships with some of the industry’s most impactful content creators, influencers, product designers, and more. 


    As we execute against our mission, our team members remain curious, action-oriented, and collaborative. If that sounds like you, we would love to meet you.
