i ordered a couple of rapalas last week just to try them and i got them in the post on friday the thing is i want to by the penn 525mag and they have it for 150 euros.

i just wanted to chekc if anybody else has used them? can they be recommended at all?? I sent in an email and got a reply . they said they were at the angling show in swords in Janruary, did anybody buy anything of them at all?

thanks boys - and tite lines..........MarkB :D

I like the 525mag the price seems bit steep you buy a rod and have the mag525 thrown infree for that price " Check out Veals or other Uk mail order, in SEA Angler Magazine

They had a stand at the exhibition in swords in Feb and seemed OK. That is a good price for the reel in Ireland and if someone can get me a rod with it for 150 Euro I will take two. The last I saw for Veals was 175 Sterling for rod and reel.

Saw them at the exhibition.....seemed like a decent lot.
Tried the website for a couple of weeks after, it was up and live but most sections were still under construction.

:?: A possible sponsor for the SAISAC comps and/or catch of the month?

Good morning

I met the guys and gals from mactackle.com at the show and I got loads of stuff from them. I found their prices far better than town, one or two shops in town in particular are very expensive on everything. I think we all know the few shops Im talking about...

I think you might be mistaken on the Mag price, veals is even slightly more expensive on this. The one thing I would say is that they have really good value on rapala plugs and the like at just 8 euros each and the post above is bang on, cheapest Power Pro I've seen anywhere between here and the UK. 27 euros a spool for 300 yards, I read in Irish Angler an article about Power Pro which is usually priced at around 50 euros for the same spool.

Keep up the good work lads, great to see a decent Irish fishing tackle website at long last. Give them a shot lads - well recommended!

Bought mag 525 , lure, rod holdall from them. Postage free. Delivery took a week but i wouldnt say it is normally that long. He had a few problems getting the holdall but rang me and explained.Threw in a free lure worth 8 euro for the delay. Seems like a nice chap. Would deal with them again

Emailed these chaps looking for some info, and they responded almost immediately, and were extremely helpful. This makes a nice change from the UK mail order shops, some of whom couldn't be bothered replying at all (bar Veals, who respond very quickly too). The prices are quite keen too (especially on the plugs as mentioned above). I'll be placing an order shortly methinks!

I've always found it nice to browse online, so it's good to finally see a decent Irish mail order outlet. Henry's tackle shop have done a similar thing recently, and their website is also very good ([url]http://www.henrystackleshop.com/oscommerce[/url]/). I've always been looked after in there too, so would have no problem recommending them.

They have agreed to sponsor SAI SAC competitions

Yeah , I have bought on line- many raplas , travel fly rod ( well worth checking out, 5 piece and proctective case), spinning rod and a few other bits and bobs.
Equired by e mail so felt a little bit more secure after getting a reply. After my first order I then order over 300 EUR worth and had them delivered in Dublin within the week.
I can safely say I have already saved money by buying online from them than the few shops in the city centre. I can recommend them
Good to see we can buy from an Irish site as I have had problems in the past buying from the UK.

Keep it up!

Hi all

Also bought some lures from them at very good prices. Got a rapala from them for eight euro, having seen the same one in a certain temple bar tackle shop for €13, delivery took four days. Very happy with them so far, and the power pro is very good value, almost as cheap as buying in bulk from the states
