Used England Angling on a few occasions and always been spot on, I have two small local tackle shops that I do use occasionally not for everything as they are not those kinds of shops but I will go in for the items I know they will have, a friend of mine owns the one "Woodies" and then there is Sue's Tackle, neither do online but survive on walk in custom a rarity these days but then this is Hereford where we have six toes laws that state we can shoot a Welshman with bow and arrow on the Cathedral green and our internet is still practically as fast as dial up connection.

Completely agree mate I would love to have a local tackle shop I would definitely support them as much as I could. Yeah I see what you mean mate for the smaller companies but the larger, better known shops definitely did pretty well this year

My local tackle shop the bloke said it's the best it's been in 30 years! Due to every starting fishing in lockdown. It's only a small shop they don't really sell stuff like chairs or bivvies stiff like that but I get all my end tackle and fresh bait from them 👍🏼

My local tackle shop means a near 50 mile round trip,..sadly not been in there for months and months...shameful I know...hoping to get up to launceston at some point...or Milemead maybe..

If I need some dendra,or mags..its easier for me to use Willys worms,I'd love to support local,a lot more...

The saying ,use it or lose it so,so true...

Yeah got to agree it's very well run and looked after, I remember talking to them and the worries they had about opening one then seeing how busy it is these days. It has been kind to me up there but I have had a few hard sessions aswell there lol

Do you fish it much at all?

I mainly came up for the big roach in the original carp lake,when Harry was around,...

I like the carp n cats lake,especially now...got a good memory of last new yrs eve,all the fireworks going off,round Tavi,and local isolated properties,was a clear night ,no light pollution..surreal and amazing..

Even the chinese lanterns rising up,was brilliant,bit naughty those lanterns ,

See you up there over xmas...if it ever stops raining...lol

I wasnt having a moan at EA..far from it and the same for Royal Mail, I appreciate they are mega busy at the mo and have staff isolating all over the place. I prefer to use my local tackle shop Browns of LB...good bunch of lads who know their onions when I can. However on this occasion they were out of stock with no delivery date for a resupply. My elastics arrived yesterday ,so all things considered not bad at all.
Are you sure?
