Worth a mention got a great service from these boys. Tournies new line clips. 8 quid fitted cant go wrong, then the young man recommended re-spooling as I was going to buy 2 spools of korda carp line for 13 quid each. However he informed me that they have bulk spools of the 0.4. He spooled the reels up like a dream on their machine, awesome line lay, perfect minimal taper as requested . It worked out each tournie spool can take about 335m of 0.4, and cost me about 15 quid in total. Result. I was very pleased with the service , just thought it was worth a mention.

Yeah it's a great shop. Well stocked with cracking staff. Not the cheapest but I don't mind a few pennies more on an item to keep shops like this going.

I've used them and for me they are up there with the tackle box. When I can, I go to the tackle box, but not always possible with my shift work.

Just ordered and received my new power porter from them. All in 24hrs.
Usually use Eric's as they have always looked after me.
When I called them about the porter they thought I was mad and didn't know what it was which I thought was strange.
Anyways if Eric's is taken over by ad il use j Ross from now as always had a good service albeit a bit more pricey than some.

Always like j Ross myself, good shop good service.

The level of customer service they offer is very common place in many other industries. Just goes to show how behind a lot of other players are in the tackle trade.

Yep, another huge for JR....I unfortunately had to return a rod sleeve as it wont fit my custom rods and it was not a problem at all.

great shop, hopefully they stay forever independent and dont get swallowed up by the AD machine...

From me. Wanted some new rods but was a bit unsure between a couple and unable to test them in hand. Gent on the phone took some time to talk me through and then suggested which would be best with some good advice. Really positive and why it pays to have people who know what they're talking about.

I go into Johnson Ross quite often and they always seem to have what I want in stock. Fantastic shop.

Couldn't agree more, I've always had top customer service from them they always seen to have everything in stock and have been flexible with the price when i've seen things cheaper else where. I made a journey to them to purchase some new rods and they spent the time with me to go through the various options without trying to upsell. I've had items go missing in the mail which they have quickly sorted.
Are you sure?
