Greys

Our experts, like Nick Hart, John Bailey, Rebecca Thorpe, John Horsey, Chris Ogborne and Henry Gilbey to name but a few, are demanding anglers, and any of the Greys equipment they use is thoroughly tested before it gets into this catalogue.

We love glowing reviews and winning awards (and we do get quite a few) but it's the fact that Greys is the gear of choice for so many top flight anglers that pleases us most. These men and women cannot afford their gear to let them down and that's why we are proud they choose Greys. Great design. Great materials. Great build quality. Great prices. Lifetime guarantees. Their backing is as good an endorsement as you can get in game fishing.

How do we do it? It's all down to common sense, about sourcing the best materials and employing the best product development managers like Howard Croston and Alastair Dandie. We are surrounded by the leading
technicians in the sport - Chris Bond, Charlie Norris, Colin Skeene and Roy Bell. And, of course, they use the most modern technology in the world. We maintain our base in Alnwick but also have superb manufacturing partners around the world. We have salesmen who are mad about fishing and the product. And all our retailers love Greys because they can trust our products, and satisfied customers return to buy more.

That's Greys, and that's what Greys is all about.

A true fisherman's brand.
