SHIMANO MISSION
Catch a specimen fish to earn a badge and a chance of winning quality Shimano tackle
Your latest badge-winning successes.
Fancy winning tackle from Shimano by catching a fish? Your target is to catch one over the weight given on our nominated species list.
If you do, you automatically win a Mission Accomplished badge, as well as being in with the chance of winning a great monthly tackle prize.
Each issue we award a superb Shimano reel to the captor of the best shore fish and best boat-caught fish, both chosen on merit. There is no choice of prize, which is awarded at our discretion.
