American Outdoor Brands Corporation announced that its accessories business has agreed to acquire all the assets of Fish Tales, LLC. This acquisition will further expand business of the company in the accessories market.
Fishing Accessories Market
American Outdoor Brands is making strategic acquisitions to expand its operations and venture into new markets.

The decision to acquire Fish Tales will supplement the earlier acquisition and help the company to further its foothold in the knife and tool market as well as foray into the fishing accessories market.
