Richard Haines

I have been a passionate predator angler for over 20 years and have fished competitively on the match scene since 2014 when I qualified for the British Lure Angling final at Chew Valley.  Since then I have fished regularly on the match scene in both the UK and Europe and have had some great successes.  My most memorable wins include the Predator Pairs, LACC Pairs league & Individual titles, CRT International team and individual titles and the Zander Cup.  My love for fishing and being naturally competitive come hand in hand to me. Whether it be Zander, Pike or Perch – bank, boat or Kayak I want to catch the largest length or biggest bag of predators.  Size really does matter!  Success has come from experience, watercraft and most importantly the quality of tackle I use so I am excited to represent Predator tackle and the exciting brands they work in partnership with.
