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.

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?
