Respected match angler Callum Dicks has announced that he is leaving his tackle sponsor Maver after 17 years.
Callum Dicks, who is a former Intermediate World Champion and regular big-money final qualifier, gave the surprising update on his Facebook page yesterday. He was seen by many as the UK face of the Italian tackle manufacturer, regularly featuring in the company’s videos on social media. In his announcement, he thanked the company for its support through his successes and challenges.
Maver hasn’t posted an update regarding Dicks departure at the time of writing but did reply to his post on Instagram. “It’s been a pleasure, Callum. We wish you all the best for the future.”
Dicks is yet to reveal which company he will be moving to next, however, he won’t be short of offers. He’s a regular name in big finals such as FishOMania and has already qualified for this year’s Maver Match This final. He’s also been an exceptional ambassador for the Maver brand.
Perhaps Dicks will be joining Middy who has been announcing several new sponsorships in recent weeks. Another possibility could have been teased by Des Shipp who replied to the Facebook announcement with a cryptic message. “Just watching that film called The Matrix, have you seen it?”
