I buy nearly all my fishing gear off ebay.. rods, reels, pod, spod, pva mesh I found dirt cheap too, line, weights, hooks.. everything pretty much apart from bait..
Have had some super deals.. got a quivertip rod and a match float rod for ?16 for the pair.. a whole carp outfit, 2x3lb test rods, pod, net, 2x baitrunners n 2 alarms for ?75.. plus loads of other
I think the trick is, unless youre looking for something spacific, just go in there n search through all fishing items or carp fishing or whatever youre into, n try to find bargains.. ask yourself how much youre willing to spend on an item, then decide whtehr you wanna bid
love the place.. spend too much there, but love it
