I have to say there range in spinners is amazing and are all really well priced. I picked up a few there that worked out cheaper than buying them of ebay.

They have opened up a new shop in Bangor. Hopefully get up this weekend and get a look around.

Have a look in "Trap and Tackle"when you are in Bangor, some great offers there too.

Been in trap and tackle a few times but never really bought anything.

I found that BAC and Mckee's are so well laid out. It actually feels like a shop and you dont have to hunt through a pile to look at stuff.
BAC bait is dead on and I dont know any other shop that you can get fresh bait in belfast city centre.

I was in Mckee's new shop on saturday and it looks the business. They had'nt completely kitted it out on saturday but I have to say it definitely up's the standard of N.I fishing shops.

That's where i got my Sandstorm rod last year, the oul fella was very good to deal with. Didn't seem a great deal in the shop though.

I was in Harrys new shop this morning in Bangor (Balloo Industrial Estate), seems that pretty much most of the stock is in the shop but a lot is still lying around in boxes etc, great selection of rods available. He seemed to have very little bait available (mostly Coarse) yet though except Joey Macks.
