By Gerry’s Fishing – Morecambe’s Premium Angling Apparel Since 1980
Welcome to the Gerry’s Fishing Coarse Hoodie department. In the modern era of angling, a hoodie is no longer just a casual layer; it is a vital component of your thermal system. This year, the best fishing hoodies are designed with “Angler-First” features like high-neck collars to block wind-chill, scuba-style hoods for peripheral vision, and hidden internal pockets to keep your smartphone dry and secure.
At Gerry’s, we stock the full ranges from the sport’s most trusted brands, including Preston Innovations, Guru, Matrix, Drennan, and Daiwa. Whether you’re looking for a thick, Sherpa-lined “winter warmer” or a lightweight, stretchy “summer skin,” our selection is built to handle the friction of a waterproof jacket and the rigours of life on the bank.
A standard high-street hoodie often fails on the bank. At Gerry’s, we prioritize designs with these technical standards:
Anti-Pill Polycotton: High-density blends (typically 60/40 or 80/20 cotton-poly) that won’t “bobble” even after a season of rubbing against your bib and brace.
Moisture-Wicking Fabric: Modern “Performance Hoodies” from Guru use technical synthetics that pull sweat away from your skin, essential when you’re working hard on a busy feeder line.
Internal Phone Compartments: A 2026 staple—a secondary zipped or Velcro pouch inside the main kangaroo pocket to prevent your phone from falling out when you lean over to net a fish.
Elasticated “Draft-Excluder” Cuffs: Heavy-duty ribbing at the wrists and waist to ensure that cold air doesn’t travel up your sleeves when your arms are raised.
These are effectively jackets in their own right. Featuring full fleece or “Sherpa” linings, they offer extreme insulation for sub-zero mornings.
Top Picks: Matrix Sherpa Winter Hoodie, Nash ZT Sherpa.
Best For: Standing or sitting for long periods in cold, dry weather.
Designed for spring, summer, and autumn. These are thinner, stretchier, and focus on UV protection and breathability.
Top Picks: Guru Lightweight Black Hoodie, Preston Hydrotech Pullover.
Best For: High-movement fishing where you want protection from the sun or wind without overheating.
The staple of the coarse angler. Zipped versions offer the flexibility to vent heat quickly, while pullovers offer a cleaner front profile (ideal for pole anglers to prevent line snags).
Top Picks: Drennan Specialist Hoodie, Daiwa Carp Camo Hoodie.
Best For: All-round use, layering, and casual wear.
| Model | Weight / GSM | Material | Lining | Key Feature |
| Matrix Sherpa | 300gsm | 78% Cotton / 22% Poly | Full Sherpa | Zippered Hand Pockets |
| Guru Lightweight | 240gsm | 60% Cotton / 40% Poly | Brushed Fleece | Hidden Phone Pocket |
| Preston Core | 290gsm | Heavy Polycotton | Soft Pile | Drawcord-Adjustable Hood |
| Drennan Specialist | 300gsm | Anti-Pill Fabric | Unlined | Olive “Nature” Tones |
| Daiwa Camo | 310gsm | 80% Cotton / 20% Poly | Pre-Shrunk | Disruption Camo Pattern |
If you are a pole angler, look for hoodies with minimalist drawstrings or “internal” cords (like on the Guru range). Long, dangling hood strings can easily snag on your pole during shipping or catch on your line during a strike.
If you plan to wear your hoodie over a thermal base layer and under a waterproof jacket, consider sticking to your “true” size. However, if you prefer a hoodie as a stand-alone outer garment over multiple layers, we recommend sizing up to allow for unrestricted casting movement.
Natural Tones: Brands like Drennan Specialist and Guru use olives and greys to help you blend into the bankside, which is crucial for clear-water river fishing.
High-Vis Branding: Matrix and Preston use “lime” and “blue” accents that are the hallmark of the modern match circuit.
A: A zip-up hoodie is more versatile for temperature control, but a pullover is often warmer (no heat loss through the zip) and more durable as there are no mechanical parts to fail or clog with groundbait.
A: These allow you to pull the sleeves down over your palms, acting as half-gloves. This is a brilliant feature for keeping your hands warm while maintaining the fingertip dexterity needed for baiting up.
A: At Gerry’s, we prioritize “Pre-Shrunk” fabrics like those in the Daiwa and Preston ranges. To be safe, always wash at 30°C and avoid the tumble dryer to preserve the screen-printed logos and elasticated cuffs.
A: It is a treatment applied to the fabric that prevents the fibers from breaking and forming small balls (pills) on the surface. This keeps your hoodie looking “factory-fresh” for much longer.
We are more than just a tackle shop; we are anglers who live in this gear. We know which hoodies keep their shape after ten washes and which ones have pockets deep enough for a modern smartphone.
Huge Brand Variety: The largest selection of Preston, Matrix, and Guru in the North West.
Try Before You Buy: Our Morecambe superstore has full changing facilities.
Fast Delivery: All clothing is held in stock and ready for immediate dispatch
