They have probably lowered the prices as people ain't buying them at the stupid over inflated prices

Still cheaper to buy them in Europe, and have them posted!

£514 in Europe (reputable website, includes UK postage)

£650 in Angling Direct

Buy with confidence. I bought my 3 MGS's from the exact same site last year. They arrived by FedEx in about 3 days from Austria.

If you use the code "FISHERNATOR" at the checkout, you get an extra 3% off your cart.

I've since bought other items from the same site (more Shimano reels, braid etc). All delivered absolutely fine.

Just be aware that you could be hit with import duty and vat etc.

I've now done 4 orders with them, the biggest being about £2k... Haven't paid a penny extra.

As it happens, They are due to deliver something tomorrow, so I'll see if that's also the same.

On the bottom of their order page, it states:-

"No import fees or duty will apply for UK delivery!"

Well spotted guys, they do indeed specifically state that they do add / take the uk vat charges so nothing more to pay

Back on my consideration list the shop goes


Special arrangements for the UK, Great Britain:

There are no longer any additional costs such as customs or import taxes for shipments to the UK. All costs such as taxes and duties are already included in the sales prices. We pay the VAT to HMRC.

👍🏻i was quite shocked at the amount of people who were having problems. The general consensus was that the latest mags were the worse ones yet. They seem to keep going down hill with each new variation. The last ones i owned were the xtb which people seem to think were the best ones but i didnt really rate them.
