ANGELWELT 2025 reaffirmed its position as Europe’s leading trade fair for angling, celebrating its most successful edition since its launch in 2007. Featuring international exhibitors, renowned angling personalities and a diverse programme, the event once again drew huge crowds. Following last year’s record number of exhibitors, ANGELWELT 2025 surpassed this success with a further 20 per cent increase – and was more international than ever. Over 300 national and international exhibitors and brands from countries including Brazil, China, Finland, Japan, the Maldives, Mongolia, Sweden and the USA presented their latest innovations, which met with great enthusiasm from visitors.
“We are overwhelmed by the response. The fair was not only fully booked from the exhibitors’ side but attracted angling enthusiasts of all ages and experience levels with an intensity unmatched by any other event. ANGELWELT has become the must-attend event for the entire community – if you’re angling, you’ll come to us – that’s a given”, Felix Steinacker, Head of ANGELWELT
The new Finland Pavilion proved a major crowd-puller, offering visitors authentic angling and nature experiences from the “Land of a Thousand Lakes.” The JDM area (Japanese Domestic Market) featuring top Japanese brands such as Duo, Gamakatsu, Major Craft, Nays, Noike, Shimano, Spro and Tailwalk also attracted strong interest. Industry leaders including Fox Rage, Gator, Molix, Stroft, Westin and Zeck were among the exhibitors.
Another highlight was the debut of the FLY ZONE BERLIN, which placed fly fishing firmly in the spotlight. With exhibitors from the fly and coarse fishing sectors, casting demonstrations and workshops, it drew many new enthusiasts. In the Sea Angling Forum, experts shared insights into big game fishing and the best global hotspots, while visitors could refine their casting techniques under expert guidance in the Casting Area. The Baittruck and Kids’ Corner, where families explored the underwater world in a fun way, added further appeal for all ages.
A central meeting point was the German Angling Association (DAFV), which showcased current projects and discussed angling policy under the motto “Fishing in the middle of society”. Cooking shows and expert talks on sustainability and water protection proved particularly popular on the DAFV Show Stage.
After the successful conclusion of this year’s event, ANGELWELT at OutVenture Berlin looks ahead to what’s next.
From 27 to 29 November 2026, the Berlin Exhibition Grounds will once again become a hotspot for the international angling scene.
Bait & Tackle, Boats & Technology, Fashion & Outdoor, Casting & Fly Fishing, Sea Fishing & Travel – the wide range on offer at ANGELWELT leaves nothing to be desired for fishing fans. On over 20,000 m² of exhibition space, popular manufacturer brands present the latest seasonal trends and New Year’s merchandise. Selected specialist retailers will be on hand to provide exclusive equipment for the coming season. On all three days of the fair, fishing enthusiasts can experience the international stars of the scene up close and brush up on their specialist knowledge with tips and tricks from fishing professionals.
Due to the strong demand, the ANGELBOOT sub-segment for fishing boats, boat engines, and maritime accessories will be expanded and extended. The sub-segment will now run for four days, from 26 to 29 November, and will take place in an entire exhibition hall with a total gross area of 6,000 m².
This expansion provides significantly more space and visibility for exhibitors and offers visitors an even more comprehensive presentation of products and innovations in the field of fishing and boating.
