Rybomania 2026 in Poznan, Poland

Rybomania 2026 is where the fishing season truly begins.

In Poznań, brands, distributors, retail stores, professional teams, and thousands of anglers come together at one venue — people who choose fishing gear thoughtfully and for the long term.

The format is lively and highly practical: new products can be seen, handled, compared, and most importantly discussed directly with the people who design and sell them.

Venue: Poznań International Fair (Międzynarodowe Targi Poznańskie), Poznań, Poland.

Important for business visitors: the first day is marked as VIP Day. It is primarily aimed at retailers, wholesalers, and distributors, but tickets are available to everyone who wants to explore the exhibition in a calmer atmosphere without peak queues.

Well-known brands and companies at Rybomania

The exhibitor list is updated regularly, but the published catalog already includes well-known names. Below are examples of brands worth paying attention to.

• ABU GARCIA. A brand known for baitcasting reels, classic spinning gear, and predator-focused ranges. The exhibition is a great place to compare ergonomics and build quality hands-on, not just through photos.

• BERKLEY. Strong in fishing lines, braided lines, and lures, with a large consumables segment. For buyers, it is important that the range covers both beginners and advanced anglers.

• GARMIN. A technological magnet of the exhibition: navigation, sonar, and marine electronics. If you are selecting a “boat + electronics” setup, these stands save weeks of testing.

• HUMMINBIRD. One of the key players in fish finders and chartplotters. Rybomania 2026 makes it easy to compare interfaces, usage scenarios, and accessories for specific boats.

• HONDA. Always of practical interest for the “engine + boat + season” topic. On-site, it is easier to understand power selection and regional service support.

• DEEPER. The company regularly appears in exhibition news and exhibitor lists. Their smart wireless sonar format is valued for mobility and fast setup without complex installation.

Tip: before your visit, check the catalog and mark the stands you want to see. At Rybomania 2026, it is easy to get absorbed in one hall and not notice how the day flies by.

Visitor tips for Rybomania: how to get the most out of it

I recommend treating the exhibition as a working meeting with the industry. That way, the result will be “decisions made”, not just “a nice walk”.

• Choose the right day. If you want calm conversations with brands and hands-on testing of new products, come on Friday during VIP Day.

• Buy tickets via the app. The organizers explicitly mention this option as guaranteeing a lower price; alternatively, online purchase via ToBilet is available.

• Allow time for demo zones. Stages, lectures, and live demonstrations are the fastest way to understand seasonal trends.

• Logistics are easier than they seem. Visitors are informed about the Parking Podziemny PWK, and the walk from Poznań Główny railway station to the fairgrounds takes just a few minutes.

• Hidden advantage: collect contacts immediately. After Rybomania 2026, suppliers are overloaded with inquiries, and those who leave with clear agreements benefit most.

How to participate in Rybomania 2026 as an exhibitor

Taking part in the exhibition means fast access to an audience with strong purchase intent. There is no need to explain why fishing gear matters — visitors arrive ready to choose.

• Step 1: submit your participation application and select the exhibition format. The participation terms specify application deadlines and organizational rules.

• Step 2: prepare product premieres and demonstrations. At Rybomania 2026, exhibition stands that allow hands-on interaction and expert advice work best.
