“We see there is a great opportunity to engage the international fishing audience and participate in and support Angling Spirit events. There is also crossover for us to promote other brands within the Plano Synergy stable family, like Frabill, with this audience, which is an aspect that looks positive for us.”
Angling Spirit owner and founder Ross Honey added: “This is a significant milestone for Angling Spirit and the WCC and WPC and all their affiliated sub-events. Plano is one of the most well-known brands in fishing and I know from discussions with the Plano team, they will be fully utilizing our platform.
“Plano has serious plans to use our events to help consolidate and grow Plano and their other brands in Europe and the rest of the world. This sponsorship is a significant part of Plano’s global strategy, and we are delighted to be able to work with them to achieve their goals and promote angling in a positive way throughout the world.
A tradition of excellence. Owning a Plano® tackle box has become a heritage that has endured for more than half a century. In 1952, Plano introduced the first molded plastic tackle box. For the next fifty years, the Plano brand found its way into the hearts and hands of four generations. Today, there’s a 4 in 5 chance that if you own a tackle box, it was made by Plano. There are many reasons why consumers choose Plano, including quality, durability and innovation, but our favorite is “It’s what my dad always used.”
