Tackle shops near Arklow?

#1 Post by WicklowAngler »

What would be the closest/best tackle shop in relation to Arklow? I am looking to pick up a rod for surf fishing, at least 8ft, and some other bits of tackle.
thanks in advance.

Try Courtown Angling Centre they have a huge range of rods and reels. http://www.courtownangling.com/
Kstaff has always been the new black in my eyes anyway!!!!!!!
