Fast delivery, good quality and value for money

Don't try to save a few pence and sacrifice quality

Have used a lot of stuff from them, hooks, swivels, hook link materials etc and never had an issue. Hooks are sharp straight out of the packet and delivery is fast.

Some of it is ok, but on a lot of it the quality isn't great, it's cheap for a reason
I've had some hooks that have been ok, and some that look like they've been forged by a local blacksmith.
For the sake of saving 20pence per hook it really isn't worth it IMO.

I've not found anything wrong with anything I used from bank tackle, I use mosquito angling now as I prefer their gear and it's mostly cheaper. Never had anything go wrong which I can't say that for some of the big names.
The reason they are so cheap is that they're not greedy and don't sponsor any well known names therefore no carp tax. Have confidence in whatever you use.

I don't think that's true.
It's because they sell direct to consumer therefore don't have the trade/wholesale price to consider.
Angling direct will be buying Nash, Korda, Gardner etc hooks for a similar price as Mosquito/Bank tackle sell their hooks to the public.
Unfortunately the Bank/Mosquito business model doesn't allow anything for quality control.

Thats definitely not true,I see what it costs the shop to buy some items in.The mark up on alot of gear is nowhere near as much as people think

Retail typically works on 50% mark up so they will be buying for £3 approx and selling for £4.50 approx. Of course there will be exceptions and it's not a hard and fast rule
The big brands will also have a larger work force, and spend a lot more On marketing. look at the amount of stuff on YouTube from the big brands. That costs a lot of money.

On some items that's about right,some items are shocking though how little the shop makes.

I've used Bank Tackle for terminal bits for the last few years and haven't had a single issue with any of it. I get semi stiff hooklink, size 4 chods, bait screws and anti tangle sleeves in bulk. It's cheap and delivery is free and always comes 2 days after ordering.
