They say next year is going to get worse.
I wouldn't necessarily believe sales reps, maybe the more unscrupulous ones will tell you that so you over order now and so you'll get it at this years price. Then when next year comes surprise, surprise items are more readily available.

Having chatted to quite a few I know there is no intelligence test to pass to rep in the angling trade.

I dont think it applies to angling as its seen a huge increase in popularity and the shops i use have said how massively busy they have been.I know containers are being held at the docks longer due to covid,I guess we will have to wait and see what happens

THE backlog in the shipping is HUGE apparently ! china may well be up and running but restrictions in customs and shipping still remain
a mate was telling me the company he works for has been told its a 6 to 10 week delivery time unless you use Air freight thats quicker but 3 times the price apparently
its not just fishing tackle its everything thats held up
the good news is second hand prices have never been higher great time to sell

My order has just changed to fulfilled on VRA website so assume more stock in today as braders said it's coming in daily. Cheers for the updates.
My order was a set of mini micron x so if anyone else ordered them hopefully they will be on their way to you too.

Had a mail from them, my Vass boots that I ordered were not going to be available until January, so I cancelled. Give them a call.

Made 2 orders on the 26th and 27th had part of my first order and not heard anything about my second order. I've had the order confirmation emails and that's it. I've emailed them for an update on my order(s) but haven't heard anything

If they are waiting for the stock to come in then there is not much more they can do.Give them a call for an update if not happy im sure they will gladly issue a refund

If a shop hasn't got stock then surely it's not the customer that has to chase? You'd think the least the shop would do is get in contact to let customers know what's happening?

And not take £300 for products they don't have and then not make contact.
