After 25 years of service at Nottingham’s Walkers of Trowell fishing tackle shop, well known big fish angler Shaun Harrison has left to pursue a new angling career. He’s joined the Angling Lines team – famous for their high standards in carp fishing holidays, to develop their bait business.


Shaun Harrison

As many of you will know, Shaun has been around the UK big carp and bait scene for a great many years. During the early 80’s he was selling bait ingredients and helping anglers formulate their own base mixes. By the end of the 80’s Kevin Nash had snapped him up on a sponsorship and consultancy basis and subsequently several of Shaun’s ideas were marketed and are still to be found on the Nash bait list to this day. Some, such as Sting Oil, still carrying his name. He’s a regular contributor to most of the major carp fishing magazines and during his long career at Walkers he’s helped countless thousands of anglers to begin and pursue their carp fishing passion.

Angling Lines Managing Director David Keep said “Shaun is widely respected as one of the very best carp anglers in the UK and he brings with him an extensive knowledge of bait. We are very serious about developing our bait business and Shaun will be instrumental in helping us to achieve this. We consider it a considerable coup to have secured his services”

Shaun commented “First of all I really must thank David Bardens at Walkers of Trowell for the support and experience he has given me over many years. Also my thanks go to Kevin Nash and Gary Bayes for believing in me and supplying me with top quality bait for these past 15 years or so – this has certainly been a big factor in the catches I’ve made. As far as my future is concerned I’m very excited by this new project. Angling Lines have really impressed me by their professionalism and attention to detail in everything they do. The bait side of things is one that is very close to my heart and I have many ideas for the future.”
