Introducing KAOTY 2022

This year's Reel Masters hosts the third event of KAOTY 2022 and, importantly, the first saltwater tournament.

SIB Get-Together

Those with their own Small Inflatable Boat (SIB) can join the SIB Get-Together on Saturday, heading off from Weymouth beach to join in the fishing activities, exhibitors, music, food and drink that Reel Masters has to offer

With the benefit of easy access to bountiful and challenging waters Weymouth is an ideal venue for Reel Masters. The busy historic harbour, complete with its own long-standing fishing community, is a great place to watch all the comings and goings; luxury yachts, fishing trawlers, tall ships, RNLI Lifeboats and even cross-harbour rowing ferries. The harbourside bars and bistros mean visitors are spoilt for choice for places to eat out, whether fresh seafood, good old fashioned pub grub or a simple meal made with local produce, it's all there.

"The event is dedicated to everyone who is passionate about saltwater and predator angling. Angling continues to be the world's largest and fastest growing sport and the saltwater contingent needs a great competition and Expo in the UK. With continued success of competitions in Europe and around the world, Reel Masters promises to be well attended by dedicated professional teams and industry suppliers as well as providing a great weekend destination for all levels of saltwater and predator anglers," comments Suzanne Coop, Managing Director, Reel Masters.

Reel Masters is produced in collaboration with Mercator Media - a long-established media company focusing on maritime and the sea. Mercator Media brings industry experience producing leading exhibitions including Seawork and Icelandic Fisheries, plus conferences such as Coastlink and more.
