Southampton, UK. – Lowrance®, a world-leader in fishing electronics since 1957 announced today its continued partnership with Angling Spirit, the founder of some of the most prestigious fishing tournaments in Europe. The Angling Spirit Association, created by founder Ross Honey, has a legacy of angling tournaments under its belt including the World Predator Classic in the Netherlands, and World Carp Classic in France. Plus, in 2021 Angling Spirit added a new UK based event to its calendar, the Sea Angling Classic, a pioneering saltwater fishing event that will be hosted in The Solent, UK which will launch officially in June this year.

Historically the WPC and WCC have attracted some of the most elite anglers in Europe. Now with the addition of the new Sea Angling Classic event this summer, both elite anglers and families alike, can enjoy the thrill of fishing.  There is an impressive prize table to be won, including an Extreme 745 Game King fitted out with the Lowrance Ultimate Fishing System.

Accompanied with ActiveTarget™ Live Sonar anglers can see fish in real-time, how they are reacting to the bait, where they are hiding and where they are going. This, combined with Active Imaging™ 3-in-1 sonar featuring CHIRP, SideScan and DownScan with FishReveal™ which gives the ultimate level of detail and at unmatched ranges, provides anglers with the ultimate sonar tools for finding and catching more fish.
