Fishing brand: 5 French 100% brands to (re) discover

Buying French is a growing attention among consumers wishing to promote talent or local know-how. The fishing world is not exempt from it. Whether in the fashion sector, fishing equipment or technological innovation, we wanted to promote talents who innovate and strive every day to (re) invent our sector through their fishing brand.

Of course, many other talents exist and will deserve a dedicated article in the future. But today, we wanted to tackle this subject by selecting 5 French 100% fishing brands to discover or rediscover for some.

Maison Ferrage: Much more than a passion, a way of life

Founded recently by Thomas Caumartin, Maison Ferrage is a French 100% fishing brand that has chosen to focus on fashion and textile printing.

From Lot-et-Garonne, Maison Ferrage thus offers lifestyle visuals, imagined by its founder and printed by him on high quality textiles. Thomas regularly updates many designs in order to constantly offer new creations, making it possible to wear his collections both fishing and in town.

In addition, Maison Ferrage makes the choice, in an ethical approach, to help each year a project in the world of fishing to develop through a financial boost. For example, the brand decided this year to help AAPPMA de Fongrave in improving the estate of health of the black-bass populations in the Lot. Thus, for any Maison Ferrage product purchased, € 1 will be donated to AAPPMA to carry out black-bass stocking.
An approach that was important to underline and promote as one of our favorite fishing brands!

Maison Ferrage is also a workshop! If you are passing through the southwest of France, do not hesitate to take a tour, you will not be disappointed:

Boat Box System: the battery of the future

Boat Box System is a French start-up that has been developing hardened lithium batteries since November 2017 for electric motors and boat sounders.
Launched from Castelsarrasin in the Tarn-et-Garonne by Stéphane and David, these lithium batteries are lighter and above all have a much longer charge and life than traditional lead-acid batteries. Maintenance is also almost non-existent.
The battery provides constant and long-lasting voltage to the electric motors or sounders of your boats. For motors, 12v, 24v and 36v batteries with amperages ranging from 45Ah to 120Ah are currently available. For sounders, only 12v voltage with amperages from 7Ah to 120Ah is currently marketed. However, BBS wants to quickly develop and develop new products, even more sustainable and customizable according to the needs of fishermen.
The autonomy of these batteries is just bluffing! For having tried them, they allow you hours of navigation without the slightest recharge. A technological feat that deserves to be highlighted, in addition to the neat design of the boxes including a screen indicating the voltage, the remaining autonomy as well as the internal temperature of the battery.

More and more used by fishermen, Boat Box System batteries are also tested by Navicom on Minn Kota engines. Another proof of the seriousness and the ambitions of this new French 100% fishing brand.

  • How? 'Or' What
    Hello,

    We are a small fishing association in the Aisne department: Association Agréée de Pêche et de Protection du Milieu Aquatique "Les Patients de BRAINE".

    We organise introductory fishing sessions for children and teenagers to help them discover the natural and aquatic environment.
    We organise several events of this kind every year for the various centres in the Communauté de Communes and for the Foyer Rural de BRAINE leisure centre.

    Could you help us with this type of activity by providing or donating fishing equipment or other goodies to encourage these young people and offer them a small gift during the small fishing competitions that we organise during these sessions or groups.

    Thank you very much.

    Yours sincerely

    Claude BOVE

    Chairman A.A.P.P.M.A. Les Patients de BRAINE 02
