The closest to it in Yorkshire are Bobco in Leeds, Chapmans in Hull and Climax in Sheffield.

Bobco is good but seems to be getting more and more expensive......to be honest i think most fishing tackle is over priced espesically terminal tackle...

also try Bankside Tackle in Sheffield - very friendly.
Nathans of Derby and Fosters of Birmingham,both on internet,are two of the biggest in the country --
BUT don't forget the small corner shops supply live baits and groundbait,a single packet of hooks etc. things that are expensive to post and are vital for the sport as a whole.

Vas-think from past posts you are York based.
Get yourself to York Tackle,Badger Hill and just off the Hull Road.
Well stocked and good advice and help from the lads if you need it.

I suspect Vas wants to brows a large range of competitors gear to make his own mind up which is best for him, then get it at a really competative price. Not just the big stuff like rods and reels, but everything from hooks to lures, feeders to bivvies. In which case I would take a look at Climax. Ok its not on his doorstep but it would be worth the journey. BOF  |

I'm not getting at Vas in any way, I like to wander round the big stores, but the big concerns seem to be putting the little blokes out of business - this is happening in every trade, not always for the best. Sorry if I sounded a little harsh.

No you are right Zathras but it is in the nature of competition that some are better than others. Personally I would prefer to drop in to my local man for the "bits" ie leads, hooks, line, nets, chairs etc that he can make something like a full margin on, and leave the giants of the trade to slog it out on the big but low profit stuff like rods, and reels.
