Online retailer recommendations

At the suggestion of various members and given the magazines will run a mile from criticising a piece of kit, here is your chance to tell us what you really think about a rod, reel, line, lure... keep it legal please!

Veals are great for customer service. Prices could be cheaper for a large business.

They are "upgrading" their website at the moment. I have stopped using them until it's finished. When it's done, I'll be back

I have bought a couple of things off www.amazon.co.uk. Some things such as rods and reels can be great value and if your item qualifies for Super Saver Delivery postage is free. Worth a look for some items...

That's a good price for the Shimano Exage 4000 £56 delivered.

Getting to know your local tackle dealer can reap rewards ,I'd rather spend a bit more if it means getting reliable info or access to quality bait

Good point. tackledirect is the only online dealer I have bought from and they are in Cork ! Other than that, I buy everything locally. And I am blessed with a brand new and very well stocked tackle shop, 'East Cork bait and tackle' just up the road :)

Veals, but as mentioned could be a little cheaper,back up service is second to none, opposite end of the scale...... Glasgow angling :roll:
