Our story / Youth entrepreneurship

Two brothers.
One obsession:
fishing.

We’re David and Edward, and we’ve been fishing together since we were five.

What started as weekends on the water—chasing bass and dreaming about the next big catch—grew into designing, pouring and testing our own lures.

Riverforge Tackle is how we turn a childhood passion into something more. We’re learning how to design products, solve problems, build a brand and run a business of our own.

“Every bait starts with one question: would we want to fish with it ourselves?”

From idea to lake

Design. Pour.
Adjust. Repeat.

Our first batches were not perfect—and that is exactly where the story begins. Each pour teaches us what to change next.

We don’t just
pour them.
We fish them.

Every Riverforge design goes from the workbench to the lake. We test action, colour and durability—and share the catches, misses and changes that make the next batch better.
