Polycraft Tuff Tender Winner 1

Posted on March 4, 2016 by getfishing

Congratulations Anthony Sluggett of Forestdale QLD, the winner of our first Polycraft Tuff Tender boat giveaway. Anthony’s name was drawn from over 900 fishing tournament entries from November to February and was rewarded for his luck with a brand new Polycraft 3.0m Tuff Tender boat valued at $1799.

Anthony’s winning fish was his 81cm Flathead submitted in February 2016. This was the only fish Anthony submitted during the 4 month competition window from November to February so he definitely had luck on his side!

Previously Anthony has entered some very nice fish including mulloway, flathead and snapper. We are sure he’s going to love his new boat to cruise around the rivers and creeks and no doubt he’ll be landing some nice fish in it very soon.

Once again, congratulations to Anthony on his win. We would like to take this opportunity to extend a big thank you to all of our members that competed by submitting tournament entries during the campaign. We look forward to drawing the next Tuff Tender in early July for the March-June competition period. For more information on how to enter click here.

Polycraft Tuff Tenders are an awesome little boat for exploring the estuaries, see the video below to see why they are so popular:

This Polycraft Tuff Tender competition prize was drawn on Friday 4th March 2016 online at randompicker.com. To view the result click the icon below:

Tight lines, GF.
