Set up in 1977 the Angling Trades Association is the only trade body representing the angling industry. It counts amongst its members most of the leading suppliers within the business, as well as a number of the country's leading retailers.

Its function is to promote, represent and protect the trade across all three angling disciplines - sea, game and coarse fishing. In so doing it aims to achieve not only long-term stability for the sport but, more importantly, growth.

The Association is run by a board elected from its membership with the assistance of a technical director and secretarial guidance from the Federation of Sports & Play Associations, Europe's largest sports trade body.
