He is a weekly columnist for Angling Times and a regular contributor to many other Angling titles across Europe. Probably best known for his ground-breaking Underwater Angling series and book. Regarded as one of the UK’s leading lure anglers, his has been instrumental in bringing modern lure fishing to the U.K. through his magazine articles, talks and online presence. “Having followed Westin’s progress over several years I am very proud to have been asked to join their team, Paul states. Already U.K. anglers ‘in the know’ are aware of the fantastic track record of Westin products that set a benchmark in quality and effectiveness. We are at the beginning of what I predict will be a tremendous success-story for the brand in the U.K., mirroring what has already been achieved in many other countries.” Having gained a first-class degree and Doctorate in fisheries research, Paul then developed a career in the U.K. fishing tackle industry before setting up his own consultancy company in 2009. Since then, he has worked with some of the biggest names in the industry. A life-long angler, he has an enviable record of catching big fish of a wide range of species, with a particular love of predator fishing. “It was important for me to join a company that shares my passion for uncompromising quality and an angler-centered philosophy. In short, Westin develop products that will help me catch more fish.”
