MAP Fishing Tackle

Match Angling Products is a brand that aims to revolutionise match and coarse fishing with innovative products that combine functionality with great value. MAP design, prototype, and field test all its products in the UK, so all the products are designed with the British angler in mind and are built to combat the challenges the modern British angler faces.

MAP produces a full range of tackle for the match and coarse angler. From poles, rods, and reels, to luggage, hard wear, and a comprehensive catalogue of accessories, it really does have something for every angler.

All its products are designed with a simple goal in mind – to help you catch more fish. Each piece of tackle is completely unique to MAP, as all its products are designed in-house. The company works with a team of expert anglers at the top of their sport to design and prototype its product range. In this way, it is only producing products that are essential for helping you catch more fish, so all its products are highly practical. The team of consultants work closely on the initial design before passing it over to the computer aided design (CAD) team to bring the product to life. The prototype is then passed back to the consultants to undergo a rigorous field test. The feedback from these tests ensures that any tweaks to design, look, and functionality are made before the product hits the shop floor. Often multiple prototypes of the same product are made over a series of months, each incorporating the feedback from the consultants, so the product you receive is the perfect finished article. This is a brand that produces tackle truly made by anglers, for anglers.

The consultants it is privileged to work with include young buck James Dent, England International and multiple time finalist in Fish ‘O’ Mania, to stalwart Matt Maginnes, who is an expert in river fishing and is one of the UK’s finest running water anglers. This range of experience and skills ensures that its products are great all-rounders for match and coarse anglers.
