May Potter, one of the best-known names in UK match fishing, has announced that she is parting with MAP. The news came via her Facebook page earlier this week, as she revealed that her final day with her tackle sponsor was Monday, 21st October.
In the post, May thanked the company for its backing over the previous six years. She also expressed how much she had enjoyed being part of “one of the biggest brands in the fishing industry.”
Over the past 6 years, I have had the absolute pleasure of being part of one of the biggest brands in the fishing industry. However, as with all things in life, change is necessary for progress. With that in mind, today marks my last day as a MAP sponsored angler 💙 It has truly been an absolute pleasure to be involved with the MAP brand, and I can sincerely not thank them enough.

Tight lines, and I look forward to seeing you all on the bank soon!
Given May Potter’s prominence in the fishing world, it was obvious that she wouldn’t be without a tackle sponsor for long. Speculation around which brand would be next has grown since Monday, and the news came a short while ago as both May and Middy posted updates on their social accounts.
May’s announcement came first with a short reel showing her posing in her new Middy gear.
Middy followed shortly after with an official announcement that May Potter would become one of the company’s “main consultants”.
We would like to thank the most recent signing to the Middy Match Range family.
None other than May Potter.
May has been one of the most active anglers on the circuit when it comes to social media and pushing the brands that she is passionate about, so it was a complete no brainer when we started discussions about her joining the Orange Army.
May will become one of our main consultants, and lead from the front when it comes to getting out on the bank and getting content for the Middy Cameras.
We can not wait to get her involved with the brand, and without a doubt look forward to working with her and benefitting from her knowledge of the industry.
We will be out with May and the Middy Cameras very soon, so if you have not done already, then make sure to head on over to the Middy YouTube Channel and HIT that subscribe button. ITS FREE.
The Orange Army Marches On
The move marks a busy year of change for Middy and their new sponsored angler, May Potter. Middy has been working hard over the past 12 months to re-establish itself as one of the premier fishing brands following the change in ownership last year. The launch has seen products such as the hard pole case and four-wheel trolley come to market. There have also been several big-name sponsorship deals for Steve Barraclough, Dale Shepherd, Ryan Laycock and Brad Parkes.
This year has also seen May Potter leave her former bait sponsor Dynamite Baits, as she took on a new role working as the Social Media manager for Aquastim.
We wish both May Potter and Middy success in their new partnership.
