The ATr has announced that it has received backing from leading bait company Bait-Tech for all of the 60 finalists taking part in this year’s RiverFest 2013 final, which takes place on the River Wye at Hereford over the weekend of 16 and 17 November with a prize pot of £24,000.
The bait sponsorship, which amounts to nearly £2,000, includes Bait-Tech’s new Pro Natural Groundbait as well as a variety of Halibut Feed and Hook Pellets, Halibut Marine Method Mix Groundbait, tins of Superseed Hemp and assorted Hybrid Barbel Hook Baits.
Bait-Tech’s Sales and Marketing Manager Andy Neal said:
“We are delighted and proud to be associated with this fantastic competition which has captured the imagination of river anglers from all over the country. It promises to be a great final and it’s going to very difficult to predict a winner. Not only does the venue hold a massive amount of silver fish, there are also big shoals of barbel and chub to go for and with the competition being decided on weight over two days, the finalists will certainly need to be well prepared.
Our baits are already tried, tested and proven on the venue so we hope they will help all the finalists and one in particular to pick up the £10,000 winner’s cheque!”
Ben Thompson, Senior Talent Development and Competitions Manager of the Angling Trust commented:
“It is fantastic to see Bait-Tech supporting our anglers in this new competition. The response from the angling community has been phenomenal and we are really excited about the final and the opportunity to see some of our top river anglers competing for this prestigious new trophy and huge prize pot.
This announcement will enhance the competition and help establish RiverFest as the premier river competition in the country and the Angling Trust are grateful to Bait-Tech for their support.”
