The rise of commercial and recreational fishing is driving the sales of fishing equipment, globally. The manufacturers of fishing equipment are launching innovative products with advanced technology to attract a large number of consumers. For instance, in July 2023, Shimano Inc, a Japan-based manufacturer of fishing tackle, bicycle components and rowing equipment, launched mastiff fluorocarbon fishing line for long casts and big bites for bass anglers. The low line elongation of the product allows the angler to detect slight bites easily, leading to quick and efficient hooksets. The product has smooth and supple feel which allows for long casts with extreme accuracy. Such innovative products are expected to gain huge traction among the consumers in the coming years, leading to market growth. The companies are also providing sponsorship to the fishing tournaments to increase the consumer awareness and boost product sales. For instance, AFTCO, one of the major fishing tackle, apparel, and footwear company, extended its long-standing partnership as a supporting sponsor of the Bassmaster Tournament Trail and its most anticipated events which will be held in March 2024. The company will outfit the entire B.A.S.S. staff with AFTCO fishing apparel. Such strategies are expected to increase the consumer awareness of the product and aid in the market growth over the coming years.
