Lee Merrit joins UK team

Hugely experienced international big fish angler, Lee Merritt, has joined Pole Position UK. Lee is a popular character on the UK/overseas carp scene where he is well known for his angling ability and his skillful approach to any water that contains carp, whether that be a small intimate venue, or an inland sea.

Jonny Banister, Team Manager at Pole Position UK, commented “We are absolutely thrilled that Lee had come on board which galvanises an already strong, well-respected team”. Jonny added “Lee has been such presence in angling for so many years and well known for his work in the media, writing sublime stories and taking iconic photos. We would like to wish Lee all the best as a senior consultant at Pole Position UK, we are very excited about our future together”.

Born from the mighty Japanese hook manufacturer, Gamakatsu, SPRO sports created the ultra-innovative tackle company, Pole Position. At Pole Position UK, the team members are all anglers who fish regularly, so concept and design are at the forefront of the brand. They claim to not merely copy the market, in fact they aim to create the market.

Lee’s appointment at Pole Position UK is testament to their vision, investment and innovation. We look forward to seeing Lee’s contribution to the brand over the coming months.

Tight lines, team Pole Position!
