Alan Scotthorne, one of the best match anglers the UK has ever produced, has made a move from long-term sponsors Shimano to Drennan International. Long part of the Drennan International sponsored England team Alan said:

“Over the years fishing for Drennan Team England has been a massive part of my fishing career so joining Drennan to help produce fantastic fishing equipment is a dream come true because I’ve been part of it for so long.

The company manufacture a wide range of tackle so the opportunity to be involved in the evolution of a product, stage by stage, to fish with prototypes and to fine tune them is really exciting.”

Drennan International boss Peter Drennan commented:

“We’re delighted to have put together a consultancy and sponsorship deal with Alan. As an England team regular and a unique five-times individual World Champion, he’s the world’s most successful international angler.

His encyclopaedic angling knowledge combined with our own design and engineering skills should be very interesting and productive on new tackle development. On top of that, Alan is a thoroughly nice bloke who is generous with his time and knowledge to other anglers, so he will be a great ambassador for our company.”
