The Specimen Hunters brand and designs are my own artwork covered by copyrights so you will not be able to buy these designs anywhere else.

Specimen Hunters items are not mass produced, a lot of time and effort has gone into each design and the manufacture of every item.

For example carp1 may look straight forward but this drawing alone took three months to reach a finished product.

All items are made by a small family team within the UK.

There is  information on every fish listed within t-shirt section.

If you are looking for a one off design were a lot of time and affort has gone into each drawing and the manufacture of your item of clothing, you have come to the correct place.

I consider these items to be as much a work of art as a top quality item of fishing clothing.

Along with fishing designs i have been asked if i would draw and design for mainstream retailers' so if you come accross a design not to do with fishing you know why.

I will start by telling you why i manufacture the Specimen Hunters brand of clothing.

I've had the fishing bug since i was about 10 years old, fishing in matches for local fishing clubs and representing the county.

Most of my fishing has been in and around Abingdon , Oxforshire on the River Thames and River Ock within the UK.

This is a fantastic place to fish for most species of fish within the UK.

There are plenty of specimens to be caught from chub , tench , bream , barbel , perch , pike and some massive carp if you are lucky enough to play one to the bank, they are much stronger than pit or lake carp due to currents within the Thames.

What i have found to be a favoured bait is bread due to people throwing it in for birds' the fish are used to feeding on it.

I was lucky enough to catch a 25lb pike from Abingdon weirs fishing a ledger weight with a sprat for bait and i know they go bigger than that.

I wanted to turn my love of fishing and drawing into a business so i started to make the Specimen Hunters brand of clothing with my own drawings hoping they would become a must have accessory for fishing and they are proving very popular to date. They are being stocked in shops and lakes in and around oxfordshire and we are receiving  online orders each week from the uk and abroad.

I only use top quality clothing , the designs are very hard wearing , they will last the lenth of the garment they are applied to.

Every item is made to order.

I have also designed logo's for fishing clubs and sydicates.

I hope you like my designs and feel free to contact me for any more info.

I have put some useful contacts on my links page about where and what you need to fish within Abingdon on the River Thames and the River Ock.

Thank you  Ray
