What makes Preston Innovations Different?

Angler with poles

Angling technology is advancing all the time but we like to think that when we launch a new product into the tackle shops, we are one hundred per cent certain that it will not let you down.

And the reason is simple. We invest huge amounts of time in design and testing, utilising all the angling experience and know-how that our team of world-class consultants possess.

As well as striving to bring you better floats, better poles, better rods, better seat boxes and better accessories, we are always looking to improve on existing products.

We fully realise that we can always strive to make products better functioning or more angler-friendly. Attention to detail is absolutely crucial. We listen to what customers want, and we listen to our sponsored anglers who are always providing valuable feedback from fellow anglers on the bank.

To this end there are a number of new products for anglers to check out at Preston stockists all over the UK from our new, improved 2008 range. We are justifiably pleased with our new flagship Gis 12 Absolute pole, which Des Shipp won a cool £25,000 with in one match when he was crowned 2007 Parkdean Master at White Acres last year.

We are also delighted with our new Space Station TX seat box, which is already winning an army of fans who want the best that a continental seat box can offer, married to a more English design. We have a new, improved Space Shuttle, to transport your box to the bank, and this stands out from the crowd. But these are just a handful of the bigger items in our range and we are just as pleased with some of the smaller products which we have brought in, including 2SSg and 3SSG shot, and our range of pellet wagglers. There is a new range of latex elastics, an exciting range of pole floats specifically for commercial fisheries - the Colours range.

On top of that there are also new Colours carp ready rigs, new barbless hair rigs, ready tied, using our award-winning PR36 hooks, which feature an out-turned eye, in both four-inch and 15-inch permutations.

Then there is a new addition to the carbonactive Mini-range, of rods - a 9.9ft-11.3ft Mini carp Multi-tip, perfect for tight commercials and bigger waters - all in one rod.

And there is so much more, including the C Series rods, designed for the UK’s commercials.

Tackle manufacture is a never-ending, evolving process, with ideas for improvements and better products always on the drawing board and in research and development here at Preston Innovations. Our talented team pride themselves on coming up with cutting-edge ideas that make a difference.

But rest assured - we don’t do gimmicks. We are only interested in producing functional, high-performance fishing tackle that delivers where it matters…out on the bank.

And with angling brains such as those of former World Champion Tommy Pickering, England regular Des Shipp and Lee Edwards - Wales’ bronze medallist at last year’s World Championships - to help us, we know that what we sell you is the best gear you can fish with anywhere in the world.

Enjoy our website and put your faith in Preston Innovations - the tackle of internationals and world champions.
