After making waves at the 2024 Sea Angling Classic, the UK’s first all-ladies sea angling team has decided to continue their journey under a new banner—Rods & Ribbons. This inspiring team, who first came together to compete in one of the UK’s most prominent sea angling competitions, has chosen to extend their mission, using their passion for fishing to raise awareness for sea safety and funds for Cancer Research UK .
The team, originally known as Team Crewsaver, captured the hearts of many during the Sea Angling Classic with their determination, teamwork, and commitment to a worthy cause. Despite challenging conditions and limited time to prepare, they finished 21st out of 33 boats and team member Gemma Robins claimed the Best Lady Angler award. Their efforts proved that angling is not just a sport for the seasoned but an inclusive activity that anyone can embrace.
Their decision to continue fishing together as Rods & Ribbons reflects their shared dedication to promoting inclusivity in the sport and supporting cancer research. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad.
