AFTA Tackle Show is a key trade event for Australia's recreational fishing and tackle sector, showcasing rods, lines, lures, accessories, outdoor fishing gear, and new product releases from industry brands. The show is run by the Australian Fishing Trade Association as a platform built to support the industry, strengthen channel relationships, and drive commercial engagement.

The 2026 edition will be staged at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre for the first time. The first two days are dedicated to trade participation, bringing together retailers, distributors, manufacturers, and brand representatives for product launches, business meetings, and pre-season planning. The final day opens to the public as a consumer-facing industry showcase.

The event week also includes Best in Show Awards, a gala dinner, networking functions, and public-facing brand activity. This makes the show relevant for businesses looking to expand within Australia's recreational fishing retail channel and build stronger visibility in the local tackle market.
