What's the best value for money online tackle shop guys? Usually use angling direct but they keep being sneaky and throwing there prices up on things after I've saved up to buy then. Also messed me around a lot. Any recommendations?

Tacklebox or Johnson Ross are hands down the best two shops to use

Best thing to do is to shop around on the internet to get the best deals, including ebay. I regularly look at TFT, angling4less, Hull AC, AD, local stores and also on ebay. You need to check their online shops and ebay shops, because there can be big differences between the two.

Bank Tackle for consumables is recommended by many.

Parkfield Angling

EBay with free delivery.
Depends on what you are after
For service you won't beat Johnson Ross,the tackle box,yately angling, hull angling or browns of Leighton buzzard
You won't get many deals though.
You could just find a local tackle shop and use them build up a relationship and then they will usually knock a bit off for you

"You could just find a local tackle shop and use them build up a relationship and then they will usually knock a bit off for you"
Tried that with one of the few left in Newcastle when I returned to angling after many years...Tyneside Angling.
Went in , got the catalogues and picked out about £2,100 of kit at RRP...full "match package" to cover any scenario.
Greedy rsole wanted £1000 deposit and he would not say how much discount he would give until it arrived, but estimated about 5%. Bit late for me as he would have already have my bag of sand !
Told him to stick it up his hoop and left about £100 of pellets and groundbait on the counter.
Went on line and within an hour had the lot bought and paid for from Bobco and delivered next day on two full sized pallets with 6 large tubes with rods in for £1,650.
Never spent a penny with that local clown since.
Some of them thoroughly deserve to go bust...

I agree some of them are crap
I don't go into my local because he is a dipstick
I go 6 miles out of my way

Never take notice of AD prices if they don't have stock.
Out of stock items they knock like 30% off.
Then when you search you dive in to look at them then look at other stuff or alternative items. So they have you hooked.
But once stock comes in they put the price back to its correct price hence the supposed hike in price.
The smart one is check stock at your local AD on the website. If they have it in stock they will have to match the price.

I'd rather use one of the more reliable ones that I and others have mentioned. They won't pull your pants down with 20% bank holiday discount that they raised the price of by 19% on that special discount weekend, will always have stock in if it's on the website, will delivery quickly and will sort out the very rare issue without fuss. If that means I'm paying a little bit more than the cheapest advertised but not in stock competitor then it's a no brainier for me
