Put your name behind a UK fishing challenge
Sponsor one of our first challenges. The pilot is free: you put up the prizes, and we build the challenge, run it, check every entry and send you a report.
The brands we’d like to work with first
CatchTank is a new UK fishing app for iPhone, launching in early December 2026. Anglers log verified catches over a set period to win prizes and earn badges. We’re running a small number of sponsored pilot challenges this winter, and we’d like to do one with you.
Tackle and bait
UK makers and sellers of rods, reels, rigs, bait and everything in the tackle box.
Outdoor brands
Clothing, bags, boots, kit and gear for people who spend their time by the water.
Shops and retailers
Independent tackle shops and online retailers who want to reward their local anglers.
Local businesses
Anything with a link to a region, a water or a fishing community.
If anglers use it, love it or buy it, and you’d like to be seen backing the sport, we’d like to hear from you.
A challenge gives anglers a reason to go fishing
A target in a quiet month
A challenge with a start, a finish and a prize turns an ordinary winter session into something to aim for.
Every entry is evidence
Entries come with a photo, a species, a size and a time, so you see real activity, not just a number of views.
Low risk for you
The pilot is free, and we won’t quote reach we don’t have. You back something early, and we show you exactly what happened.
What we need, what we do, what you get
What we need from you
- £150 to £500 of your product as prizes
- Optionally, a discount code for anglers who finish
- Your name, logo and a link to send people to
- Someone who can answer quickly when we need a decision
- To send the prizes to the winners yourself
- Permission to publish the results as a case study with your logo
What we do
- Agree the idea, dates and rules with you
- Build the challenge and run it in the app
- Check every entry: photo, species, size and timing checks, and a person reviews every prize winner
- Label it clearly as Sponsored
- Send you a short report when it ends
What you get
- Your name, logo and link on the challenge
- An optional finisher discount code, shown to anglers with a verified entry
- A report: joins, finishers, verified entries and the best catch photos (with the anglers’ permission)
- A case study you can share, if you want one
One thing to know. The sponsor logo and the finisher discount code arrive with an app update before the first sponsored challenge goes live. Until then, your name and link are what anglers see.
The first pilots, December to February
These are ideas for the first pilots, not booked dates. We’ll shape yours around your products, or run your own idea: a species, a venue, a region or a club league.
- Now to early December
Agree the idea and the prizes
A few emails, or a call. The app launches on the App Store in early December.
- December to January
Winter Perch Hunt
Perch are catchable almost everywhere in winter.
- 1 to 14 January
First Fish of 2027
A fortnight to land the first fish of the year.
- February
Pike and Zander Fortnight
For the predator anglers.
- Spring
Spring Species Hunt
Catch five different species.
What a sponsored challenge could look like
Example only
This mock-up uses a made-up brand, prize and angler names. It shows the idea, and the real thing may look different. The sponsor logo and the finisher code arrive with an app update before the first sponsored challenge goes live.
- A clear Sponsored label and the sponsor’s name
- Dates, rules and the prize
- A live leaderboard of checked entries
- An optional finisher discount code
Winter Perch Hunt
We’re pre-launch, and we’ll say so
CatchTank isn’t on the App Store yet, so we have no audience numbers, no past campaigns and no case studies. We won’t quote reach we don’t have. That’s why the pilot is free: paid packages come later, once there’s a real case study to show. We never sell location data, and anglers choose what they share.
Questions from brands
What does it cost?
Nothing for the pilot. You provide £150 to £500 of product as prizes, and optionally a discount code. Paid packages may come later, once there’s a real case study, and we’d agree anything paid with you first.
How is it labelled?
Everything sponsored is clearly labelled “Sponsored” in the app and run to the CAP Code, the UK advertising rules. Prizes come from you, not from CatchTank or Apple, and Apple is not a sponsor.
Who sends the prizes?
You do, straight to the winners. We only pass on a winner’s contact details for prize delivery, and only with their consent.
How do you check entries are genuine?
Every entry gets automatic checks, such as whether the catch is inside the challenge dates and the photo looks right. Anything flagged is reviewed, and a person checks every prize winner. The automatic checks never decide a prize on their own.
What’s in the results report?
How many anglers joined, how many finished, how many verified entries there were, and the best catch photos, used only with each angler’s permission. You get totals and photos anglers agree to share, not anglers’ personal details.
When do the sponsor logo and finisher code arrive?
With an app update before the first sponsored challenge goes live. We won’t promise a date earlier than that.
Can we run our own idea?
Yes. A species, a venue, a region or a club league all work. Tell us what you have in mind.
Do you have audience numbers?
No. We’re pre-launch, and we won’t quote numbers we don’t have.
Want to run one?
Tell us who you are and what you’d like to try. A short email is plenty.
