Prize Fund Guaranteed!
Designed to include good fishing among spectacular scenery in the Lakelands region of Ireland, the sponsors Lakelands & Inland Waterways have contributed €15,000 to highlight the great wild angling and promote tourism in the region.
The match organisers were contracted to deliver this innovative event designed to include angling venues across the counties, and even the border to support this.
Unlike many Irish festivals where entry money is 'pools' and the payout dependent on the number participating, for the World Pairs the entire €15,000 sponsorship from Lakelands & Inland Waterways has been assigned to the prize fund which is then up with contributions from the event organisers, Fermanagh & Omagh District Council and Leitrim Tourism totalling €20,650.
Not only this, the Winning Pair will receive Galway Crystal trophies plus a DAIWA tackle and those in second and third place will receive some crystal too!
