The Angling Trust
The
Angling Trust has announced a new partnership that will see UK based Spinlock
become the Official Life Jacket Supplier to Team England’s Lure fishing squad
for the forthcoming year. This covers two World Championships with England
hosting the 11th FIPS-ed Carnivorous Artificial Bait Boat Angling World
Championships between 10th – 15th October 2018 at Rutland Water, with the squad
then heading to South Africa to compete in the World Championship in February
2019.
The origins of Spinlock lie in yachting and sailing and have
been a widely recognised for their experience in major events such as the
Americas Cup and the Volvo Ocean Race, however several of their products are
also suited for other water-based sports including angling. This new
partnership presents an opportunity to promote their life preserving products
to the angling market, particularly the Deckvest LITE lifejacket.
Ben Thompson, Senior Competitions & Performance Manager
at Angling Trust, said: “Angler safety is of paramount importance and we are
delighted to be working with an established company like Spinlock. While this
partnership specifically supports Team England’s Lure squad, we know their
products will appeal to anglers in other angling disciplines. The agreement is
for an initial one-year period, but we hope this is the beginning of a
long-lasting relationship with Spinlock.”
Ash Holmes, Spinlock Ltd Technical Sales and Marketing said
“We’re pleased to be supporting the England Lure Squad and the Angling Trust.
Each member of the team will be wearing the Deckvest LITE during the World
Championships, keeping them safe whilst on the water. This is the start of a
great relationship and we’re looking forward to working across the wider
angling community in the future."
