After making waves at the 2024 Sea Angling Classic, the UK's first all-ladies sea angling team has decided to continue their journey under a new banner—Rods & Ribbons. This inspiring team, who first came together to compete in one of the UK's most prominent sea angling competitions, has chosen to extend their mission, using their passion for fishing to raise awareness for sea safety and funds for Cancer Research UK.

The team, originally known as Team Crewsaver, captured the hearts of many during the Sea Angling Classic with their determination, teamwork, and commitment to a worthy cause. Despite challenging conditions and limited time to prepare, they finished 21st out of 33 boats and team member Gemma Robins claimed the Best Lady Angler award. Their efforts proved that angling is not just a sport for the seasoned but an inclusive activity that anyone can embrace. Their decision to continue fishing together as Rods & Ribbons reflects their shared dedication to promoting inclusivity in the sport and supporting cancer research.

This weekend, the newly named Rods & Ribbons of Gemma, Emma, Hannah and Izzy will be participating in another significant event, where they hope to build on the momentum from their recent adventure. Their bright pink Crewsaver lifejackets highlights their continued partnership with Cancer Research UK, and a beacon of hope and a reminder of the importance of their cause. The team is eager to continue raising funds and awareness and invites the community to support them in their ongoing efforts.

Rods & Ribbons remains committed to breaking down barriers in angling, inspiring others to join the sport, and making a difference in the fight against cancer. Their journey is far from over, and they are excited to see where their rods will take them next as they cast their lines for a cause that matters to them all.
