Best selling fishing products
The Tackle Shop
Your home for specialist fishing tackle
The Tackle Shop is one of the original specialist fishing tackle shops. We've been around for 35 years (we have stopped counting now!). You can buy most of what you need to catch pike, zander, catfish, carp, barbel and so on from us. I own the business and try and make sure we stock the latest products which are of use to specialists. For example we have a much expanded lure range based on my experiences with these new lures. (a 37-08 on one in 2000!) Staff member Bob Hopwood has been pike fishing for over 20 years. He can advise on most aspects of pike fishing. Gary Hicking pike fishes, Chris Tate does a bit of everything. His main claim to fame is that his first zander was 14lb! Newest member of staff Rick Burnard fishes for pike and tench. I like a bit of carp fishing as well, but do not go along with much of the hype concerning rigs and baits. None of us will try to sell you something you do not need. Our policy is that most customers are bright enough to spot a hard sell and just as we do not like pushy car salesmen or assistants in clothes shops, we'd not treat our customers that way.
Finally because we have been around forever you can expect us to honour guarantees and deal with mistakes efficiently. We will not disappear overnight!
Last but not least the person that keep things running efficiently is Sue Doyles the manager (she who must be obeyed).
