Looking to defend his Pairs trophy is Daiwa Consultant Steve Ringer who, alongside his brother Phil, won the event last year.

Steve said: “The World Pairs is without doubt one of the highlights of my year, the fishing is fantastic and the scenery has to be experienced to be believed. Last year, my brother Phil and I were lucky enough to finally win the World Pairs after being runners up the previous two years. This year, of course, we will be trying our best to retain our title which won’t be easy looking at the talented field of anglers. I just can’t wait to get there now!”
