Several months ago Wayne Panting approached disabled-angler.co.uk to ask if they could possibly help him source a sponsor.

Having witnessed this up and coming young angler’s talents over the last several years they were very keen to help promote his expertise, so a plan was formulated, initially putting together a portfolio of his match results for the season 2005-2006, both from his local clubs and the open competitions he’d entered.

Disabled-angler.co.uk discussed with Wayne what type of sponsorship would benefit him the most and as with any sport he would need to spend more hours practicing. Hence the cost of bait would be a major factor, so it was agreed that if sponsorship from a bait company could be sourced this would be the most beneficial.

Wayne – happy with the sponsorship deal with Champion-Baits

On March 19th Champion-Baits officially agreed to take Wayne on board and sponsor him with not only their bait but would also fit him out with their clothing. He would be joining their other talented sponsored anglers who week in week out, promote Champion Baits through their winning results on numerous venues up and down the country.

Wayne, a paraplegic, is proof to any budding young disabled-angler out there that boundaries can be overcome.

Wayne wanted to thank disabled-angler.co.uk for their continuing support and to Champion Baits for giving him the opportunity to progress his talents further. disabled-angler.co.uk is not only very pleased but extremely proud to have been able to play a part in this young man’s career and will continue to do so in the future.
