Who We Are

A Lifetime of Experience Behind Every Product

We’re a small, independent team lead by Forge Tackle founder Enrico Parmeggiani, with over 45 years of combined experience in the carp fishing industry. Our backgrounds cover everything — from hands-on retail and customer support to product design, sourcing, and full-scale industrial production.

We’re not just behind desks — we’re on the bank, in the workshop, and in constant conversation with anglers. Carp fishing is our lifestyle, and our business was born out of genuine passion, not market trends.

Forge Tackle is the natural evolution of a lifetime in the sport. We created this brand to reflect what we, as anglers, actually want from our gear: performance, reliability, value, and simplicity — without gimmicks or inflated prices.

We’re proudly independent, and we answer only to our customers — not investors, not distributors, and not trends.

What We Do

Purpose-Driven Products, No Middlemen

At Forge Tackle, we design and produce our entire product range in-house. We don’t resell other brands, and we don’t use distributors. Instead, we go straight from manufacturer → ForgeTackleDirect.com → you, the end consumer.

This direct-to-consumer model allows us to:

• Cut unnecessary costs and markups
• Offer unbeatable value for money
• Stay agile and respond to real-world angler feedback
• Maintain full control over design, quality, and innovation

Smart Innovation, Not Over-Engineering

We believe in practical design. We don’t add extra features just to impress or follow hype. Instead, every Forge Tackle product is built to serve a clear purpose — with solid materials, tested concepts, and features that actually improve your fishing experience.

Our cost-saving strategy is simple:

• No flashy or expensive packaging
• A highly efficient warehouse operation in Bled, Slovenia
• A streamlined, functional web platform
• No inflated marketing costs

All of this allows us to deliver top-quality carp fishing gear at a fair price, with zero compromise on performance.

Where We Ship

Although we’re based in Slovenia, we are far from a regional brand. We ship daily across all of Europe, and regularly to the UK, USA, South Africa, and Japan.

Our mission is to support carp anglers globally who value well-designed, honest products — without the hype and inflated price tags.
