Team SAE: Tony Cope

It is with great sadness that I write this, but in March 2019 after a tragic accident Tony sadly passed away. It has taken me till now (Jan 2020) to be able to update this, as not only have we lost a great Northwest angler but I have personally lost a close loyal friend. I had known Tony for over 10 yrs and with his cheeky Scouse banter and selflessness I was privileged to have had him on board with the business. He was invaluable in the development of the B1s and the B2s and would put anything we chucked at him through its paces and his honest feedback was always appreciated. He caught stacks of carp along the way all from proper hardcore waters and I was always made up to share all his captures and memories with him. It will be so hard going forward and developing without him and I will make sure Tony will always be a part of the business and can never be replaced. Thanks for all the memories made and laughs along the way buddy…
