Our Team

About SaraBella Fishing

We launched in 2014, and our founders include April Archer, JT Archer, and Scott Grieble. Our rod-building team consists of talented Veterans and Survivors. We’ve all been through some big life challenges, and we choose to work with our hands, collaborate as a team, and connect humans to water. Our company is headquartered in Erie, Colorado. Our production space is in Lafayette, Colorado, and our team works from home throughout the Denver metropolitan area. Together, our SaraBella team builds fly rods that perform with excellence and make impact. Contact Us for more info!
