a proper tackle shop with friendly knowledgable staff and a good efficient mail order service

The best of those has to be Billy Clarkes by far.

A couple here for ya...

http://www.wmac.co.uk
http://www.tackleshop.co.uk/
http://www.bosfish.co.uk

i find http://www.bosfish.co.uk expensive and the staff arent too helpful. http://www.wmac.co.uk looks good though, never bought off them but the prices look fair.

got to be billy clarkes for me though, shopped there for years when i lived in sheffield, and since i moved away i use them for mail order and they are everything you would want.

Bennetts is a bit expensive but they have a large selection.

I have ordered of WMAC a few times and they are absolutely fine.

And, just received some stuff from tackleshop this morning....spot on. they also have a large selection and stock some of the more difficult things to find like enterprise tackles stuff (fake baits etc).

Try your local tackle shop, you may well get a slightly better price from a big mail order or web based site but I believe in supporting your local business.
What happens if the local shop folds through lack of business? Where do you go for a pint of maggies and a packet of hooks then?

yeh you have a point there peter its just easier going through the net. plus i have found some good combo deals with rod and reels on the net that i am thinking about going for
p.s cheers for all the info peeps
