Is this worth a visit? Anyone there today?
I was there yesterday. Fair amount of carp bait and tackle about. If you're local then probably worth an afternoon out.

First show I've been to and I got what I needed, could of been a few more big names like esp, korda, gardener etc than there was but I went mostly to buy and try a new chair and saved some money so 👍🏼

Went this year and last year and the amount of people this year must have been trebled it was very busy this year. Some good deals but couldnt get over the only company selling carp tackle in high quantities was total fishing asked for some banksticks from the avid stall to be told only buy them from total fishing which was fine until.they told me they didnt bring any loads of tackle on show ref avid hutch solar and loads of bait companies
Struggling to see how they would fit more stalls in if the likes of korda, angling direct, nash etc decide to go next year

Yeah I had the same thing with sonik, told to go to TFT to buy it and didn't bring any with them!
There's other halls there I believe if they decided to make it bigger which they should

I was at the big one on Saturday and I'd also been to the northern angling show last Saturday.
Yes the big one was bigger but I thought the Manchester (northern angling show) was better.
I thought it was busier and it was mainly focused on the carp angler.
Of the two halls at Stoneleigh one was mainly match oriented plus cheese/cakes while the other hall was mostly carp focused.
That said I enjoyed the day and I'm not being critical as I enjoy looking at the match tackle and innovations.
