Thinking Fishing? Think Thinking Anglers

Founded in 2005 by Ben Hamilton and Steve Fantauzzi, Thinking Anglersis a brand that’s all about having “just the right kit”, and will appeal to anglers who like to stay mobile, those who only have a few hours available, and any back-to-basics anglers who find themselves rolling their eyes at the amount of kit people are barrowing down to the bankside these days.

There is, however, nothing “basic” about anything in the Thinking Anglers range, with all their tackle and accessories being designed to the highest standards, and built for enduring performance.

With a reputation for terminal tackle firsts, including the first tungsten-coated hook length, appropriately named Tung-Skin. Thinking Anglers have a firm foundation in carp fishing, helping to build a dynamic luggage and accessories range, and broadening their appeal to anglers with a range of essential tackle items in a simple, go-anywhere style that will be right up your street if you prefer to keep the attention on your performance, rather than your products.



Angling luggage can be the one place where you find yourself tempted to go a little bit overboard on the purchasing front – after all, surely, when it comes to maximising your fishing potential, you simply can’t have too much storage?  Well, you can, if that luggage means you’re loathe to change swims as soon as the fish start to, and if it makes getting your bivvy set up resemble striking camp during an attempt on Mount Everest! Here at Angling Direct, we don’t think angling should be a chore, and we don’t think anything, least of all the amount of gear you have with you, should get in the way of you following the fish, and following your instincts.  That’s why we like Thinking Anglers, who think – rightly, in our opinion – that angling really shouldn’t be overcomplicated, or overpacked.

Why Keep It Simple?

Simple tackle means you can travel light, and travelling light means you can explore secluded swims, which, being less pressured than main water courses, can have some stunning surprises lurking in them. A light tackle kit also makes changing swims during a session an easy choice; you’re not dreading loading and loading the barrow, so you’re more likely to simply get up and go when things go quiet.  And, finally, a compact tackle kit can easily be left in the boot, ready for any unexpected angling opportunities you may come across.



While it’s easy to get lured in to the hype around angling’s latest hit, Thinking Anglers believe that it’s far better to spend your money on quality, reliable tackle that will take you through several years of active angling, rather than changing your luggage because a new colour’s come out, or getting rid of all your terminal tackle because one of the prominent brands is trying something new. After all, the less you spend changing up your tackle for the sake of it, the more money you’ll have for those big-ticket, dream purchases!

Thinking Anglers Tackle Pouch



Tell Me About It

Designed to fit perfectly on top of the Thinking Anglers rucksack, creating an easy-to-carry, compact load that won’t get in the way as you head off down narrow tracks to promising glints of water, and won’t weigh you down when you need to prioritise core tackle that can handle any water conditions, and ensuring you’ve got clothing for any eventuality, when you’re packing for an extended trip.

With a detachable 12” rig board, the tackle pouch also comes with four small compartments, as well as a zip compartment, and packet sleeves, inside, giving you the capacity for all your hooklengths, rig plastics, and terminal tackle, without impacting on the slim, stylish, easy to pack profile.

If you’re looking for a way to keep your terminal tackle safe, organised, and secure, then the Thinking Anglers Tackle Pouch gives you all the storage you need, in a design that’s crafted for easy transport on the Thinking Anglers Rucksack.

In Summary

If you’re thinking about heading out for a day, exploring a new lake which might offer untapped angling opportunities, or you’re considering setting up a fully-loaded tackle kit that you can keep in the car, on your boat, or in a caravan or holiday home, so that you’re always ready for action, then your thoughts should definitely be turning to Thinking Anglers.  Their products may not be as eyecatching as some of the other brands out there, but that’s because Thinking Anglers choose to focus on substance, rather than style, creating tackle and accessories you can rely on, rather than merely designing a look they can sell you.

If you think angling’s an expensive hobby, with endless amounts of gear you need to buy, think again, and see what Thinking Anglers have to offer.
