Bait-Tech Angler – Andy Bennett

A brilliant young angler from the North-West who took up angling as a 19 year old. His favourite venues are White Acres and Partridge Lakes where his record is formidable to say the least. As a 21 year old he won the Intermediate National as an Individual and also fished for the winning team – an amazing achievement. A brilliant carp angler who has won the Kamasan Matchman of the Year in 2010-2011 AND 2011-2012 – an outstanding performance in any angler’s book. A true superstar in the North-West. By the way, Andy still likes to go stick float fishing on running waters every now and then.
