Thank You And A Fond Fairwell

Posted on September 14, 2024 by richardhandel

I’d like to express my gratitude to Pele Johnson from Spotted Fin for allowing me to join them in 2017, at the beginning of the Catalyst Boilies and their many other great products. Ultimately, I became completely obsessed with the Classic Corn, which helped me catch numerous carp. The Pink Pepper Squid was another favourite of mine. Along with the Masala pop-up. There wasn’t a bait I didn’t catch fish on during this journey. I wish Pele and his family all the best for the future. The Spotted Fin brand will be a great loss to the fishing community.

Sad News

Posted on September 14, 2024 by richardhandel

*** OPEN LETTER FROM THE DIRECTORS OF SPOTTEDFIN ***

Dear all.

It is with deep regret, that the directors have decided to close Spotted Fin with immediate effect.
The last few years of covid, brexit, the Ukraine war and cost of living crisis, have created a perfect storm, that we and a lot of the industry and the world, have found a challenge to navigate… and we are now at a point where we want to move forward with our lives. We are proud we grew the brand to what it became… but our health, happiness and family, are now the priority.
We have always tried to do the right thing for the brand, first and foremost and sometimes we got it right and sometimes we did not. We don’t apologise for that… but we hope it will have inspired others on their angling journey, to rise to the top and challenge the industry with new ideas and values just as we tried to do.
Our thanks first go to our staff Cameron Scott and Neal Baskerville. We got to here because of you.
We would like to thank Jaap Johnson, for delaying retirement to help get the brand going and good friend Lauren du Gard for joining us at the beginning to setup the admin.
We thank Russell Grimes and Simon Willsmore, who had great influence on our direction and success on the match world and Clint Walker and Jacob Stone in coarse and especially Simon and Sue Ward in Carp, who worked tirelessly from the beginning in building equipment, helping with shows and providing a supportive shoulder. You are both very special to us.
The following team anglers, who were ever loyal and supportive, through thick and thin, in the good times and the bad, we thank you.
Ben Townsend
Richard Handel
Matt Hollingsworth
Liam Willis
Barry Sherrington
We would like to thank the retailers that stocked us. Thank you for your trust in our brand. We know how hard this industry likes to make things for retailers bringing in new brands.
To the public that bought and used our products and caught PB’s and had a thoroughly enjoyable time using them… we thank you.
Within 4 years of opening, Spotted Fin was shipping products to 15 different countries and had carved out a niche for quality, dependability on the bank and new innovative ideas backed up by exceptional service. For that, we are extremely proud.
Now, it is time for a new chapter for us and our family.
Tights lines all.

The Directors, Spotted Fin.

Mixed Pots

Posted on September 13, 2024 by richardhandel

*** Wow! Enough to keep you going for a while at £3.99 pot ***
GO2 Wafters are the perfect for use on methods, hybrids and bombs. With an element of buoyancy they negate the weight of the hook meaning the bait is the first thing to fly back into the fishes mouth. Not only are they great for carp and F1s but are a great ‘alternative’ hookbait when targeting big bream!

Mixed Pot
We’ve mixed a variety of different flavours and colours in sizes 8mm and 10mm. In a decent 100ml pot, you have lots of wafters to keep you going, with plenty of options to mix between during your sessions.

Sold in 100ml pots. (Approx 70g per pot) while stocks last.

Minimum of 6 different styles mixed prior to packing – no guarantee of equal measure.
