Ian Giddins
Winner of the Larford Festival 2008, 2013 & 2017
I've been fishing since I was 5, 29 years ago. I got into the match scene when I was 11 fishing junior matches at Moorlands Farm Fishery in Hartlebury.
I am sponsored by Bag'em Matchbaits and I believe this gives me the best chance of winning a big title at some point in my career. Being involved in a Fish 'O' Mania final and Maver Match This final makes me more and more determined to win.
