Europe’s only B2B fishing tackle show, EFTTEX, made a welcome return in 2025. This summer it heads to Barcelona. Here are a few reasons why you should consider booking your stand there.
Whether you are an age-old manufacturer with global clients or a new brand looking to take your first or next steps in growing your business, then EFTTEX (the European Fishing Tackle Trade Exhibition) should be in your diary this summer.
After a successful show in 2025 in Brussels, EFTTEX 2026 will move to Hall 2, Fira Barcelona Montjuic, Barcelona, Spain from June 10th to 12th, continuing its tradition of moving around Europe to ensure exhibitors meet new potential clients as well as older ones.
So why should you be booking your stand for EFTTEX 2026? For a start, it has a strong reputation, which a long-established history and it is the ONLY purely B2B event in Europe for the fishing tackle trade.
Here are a few more reasons to exhibit:
- Opportunities to network with industry leaders
- Discover the latest new products
- EFTTEX is supported by EFTTA (the European Fishing Tackle Trade Association, the industry body)
- Opportunities to enter the Best New Product Competition.
- Winning one of these prestigious Best New Product awards gives you instant media coverage and plenty of attention from prospective buyers
- Generate new sales leads
- Rekindle and maintain business relationships with existing customers
- Meet quality buyers from 45+ countries worldwide
- Discuss and do business with decision makers
- For companies based outside of Europe such as the USA and Japan who want to export to Europe, EFTTEX is the place to start your distribution network
Making the most of your time
EFTTEX show days run on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, allowing you to maximise your time on doing as much business as you can in one place.
It’s a huge time saver, where you can meet all your customers in three days in a great business-like atmosphere, while also networking more casually at the popular gala dinner and awards night.
Each exhibitor is entitled to an unlimited number of free of charge “exhibitor guest” passes which they can distribute to as many customers as they like (available from Spring 2026).
Barcelona is a wonderful city with direct flights from all over the world. There are many touristy things to do, time permitting, as well as beautiful surroundings to entertain clients in the evenings.
