Tony Watson

Owner/Consultant

Tony is the owner/consultant and has been fishing since the age of 8 when he became totally hooked after catching his first Roach. After winning the Nation Schools' final on the river Avon at the age of 15 he became a serious match man before a horrific car accident at the age of 20 stopped this. 2 years later, he took his match knowledge into carp fishing and has never turned back. He lives, breathes and sleeps carp fishing as well as having a passion for bait making.

Alan Shooter

Owner/Consultant

Alan is the owner/consultant and all things carp. He specialises in the research and development of new baits, with over 40+ years of angling experience under his belt. Catching his first carp at the early age of 6 sparked off a passion which has grown from strength to strength! It all started by formulating bait recipes in the late 80's in his mum's kitchen and has now developed into Orion Carp Baits. In more recent years Alan has been competing in the match scene.

Lee Marshall

Team Member / Developer

After adding Lee to the team , it really felt like our team took a giant leap forward. Lee has been a long time friend of Orion Carp Baits but he doesn't seek the limelight. Lee puts his time into helping us at Orion with recipe development and rigorous bankside trials. He is an experienced angler and our "go to man" for the match scene; himself competing for years and reaching many finals!
