Who are we ?

Hello, my name is Graham Stevens, here’s a little bit about myself and the business GS Tackle.

My father got me into fishing at a young age, he’s an avid Fly fisherman and I was until the day I caught a 7lb grass carp on the fly rod - it ran me around the lake and that was that.

I’ve been carp fishing for over 20 years however i did have a decade out of the sport when the kids were young.
When I returned to the sport in 2021 I was shocked by the new technology readily available.

After seeing a lot of anglers using bait boats, I was successfully fighting the urges to get one until my mate Mike gave me a go of his Boatman Actor PLUS : well lets just say I was impressed as I returned to my bivvy and ordered one there and then.

I then jumped both feet into the tech market and bought a Deeper Pro, and struggled with several mounts all had something I didn’t like about them.

Being a bit of a nerd (engineer by trade) I decided to try my hand at building a winch cam, as i found the pricing of the available options hard to stomach. I decided to build a custom winch system with front mounted FPV camera which worked a treat, but of course looked very basic.

I then decided to buy a 3d printer and learn 3d design, after perfecting the winch cam i moved onto my main frustration which was the Deeper mounting bracket.
I built many different version trialling them all until i settled on the design that i decided to start selling.
Thanks to all my customers, I’ve managed to sell enough mounts to enable me to put the money back into the business and further the designs to cover more bait boats with brackets and accessories.
