New-look carp show gets thumbs up on its return

Another company to report a successful experience at the recent Carp Den Bosch Show in the Netherlands is UK brand RidgeMonkey.

The Liverpool-based firm attended the show alongside one of its Benelux retailers and was impressed both with the venue and the amount of business done over the two days.

“We found the new facility was good and very spacious,” Media and Marketing Manager James Turner told Angling International in a conversation that came just too late for our earlier report on the event.

“It was great to get back out there and put our brand in front of potential customers and chat to the many anglers who visited our stand. They also took the time to go and watch the talks by our key staff members, Dan Hawkes, Jay Cater and Dan Levy.”

The show, held in the Brabanhhallen in the Dutch city of ’s-Hertogenbosch (known as Den Bosch), made its return after a two-year absence due to COVID.

“Business over the course of the show was far better than anticipated and we were very pleased with how it all went,” added Turner. “We released our new Granite Cookware range at the show and it went down an absolute storm. We sold out of the majority of models.”

Next year’s Carp Den Bosch will return to the Brabanthallen on January 19th.
