I'm a great believer in using my local tackle shop however I need to use an online retailer.
It's for an item that my shop can't provide.
Please can anybody point me in the direction of a good online retailer that also offers good customer service and after sales.
Many thanks.
Neal.

Your doing the right thing asking. I trust only a handful myself but would not want to suggest some company as things change.

Currently I'm having to return a faulty rod with Tackle2u. I'll let you know the outcome, so far it's early days with them but I'm hopeful.

Richard.

There are plenty of pretty good ones out there, but I defy anyone to give you one that will get universal praise. I know I've had bad experiences of some that are highly regarded and good experiences with some that are commonly panned.

The following are places I use regularly, but I've still occasionally had issues with the odd one. I'd still use any one of them, without hesitation, if they had what I wanted, at the right price.

Carp, Coarse & Fly Fishing Tackle | New & Used Rods & Reels | Buy, Sell, Part Exchange | Tackle Fanatics
Match Fishing Tackle | Fishing Tackle Shops | Online - Matchman Supplies
Climax Tackle: Fishing Tackle Megastore
BobCo Tackle - Fishing Tackle Specialist

Johnson Ross 100%. I don't buy anything on line, Johnson Ross is only up the road from me, great service, in the shop and on line.

I do help these guys out at tackle shows and have worked in the shop for them a number of years ago.

Unlike many staff in tackle shops, at least these guys know their stuff.

Give them a call for a chat, they will be only to happy to help you out.

Skippy had a rod break, and they dealt with it, Skippy can give you more info on the service.

Bloody Hell ! I'd completely forgotten about that rod ! :eek::eek:

They were very helpful....I just hope they've not sold the repaired rod on because the numpty who brought it in forgot to go back and get it !

Good shop too. Just a tad far for me to make the trip often [M25 again !] but a really good shop & great staff.

Update : They've not sold me rod....it's ready and waiting for me. Phew !

Much as I love rooting around tackle shops I've no qualms whatsoever about buying over t'interwebby. I'll buy local when I can but that's becoming increasingly difficult. I've never had the slightest problem buying on-line. Johnson Ross is good as Ray says.....so is the Tackle Box.

Another vote for Matchman Supplies that Sam mentioned.

Dealt with them before and no problems.

I have never had problems buying small bits from ebay. Much easier and saves a trip to the tackle shop when the weekend comes around.

I too buy of eBay and have never had a problem. I generally buy bits of tackle and enjoy convincing myself they will make a difference and then marvelling at how someone can make them at the price.

Greys, by the way , do some great little bits for fishing in neat little clip together boxes. I love this hobby!:)
