I have searched on here but can't find any reference
to this, their FB page says it has big discounts, I would
rather have them in business, another bloody good shop gone.

EDIT
I was going to go there tomorrow, looking for a new chair
I'll have to give them a ring and hope they are still there.

I was looking for a shop in Exeter when I was working down there and Google did t know of any
This day and age that should be the first thing to get going

If you didn't get there you don't know what you
have missed, my other tackle shop (much smaller)
is in Ottery St Mary, Otter Angling,Mark is very
helpful, I would think once EA has gone OA will be a bit busier.

I just googled fishing tackle shops Exeter and its top of the list.

Phoned them this morning, all chairs
are gone, last day of trading 31st May.
I asked if another shop will open, on
the outskirts maybe but not in town.
I guess FB might have the answer in the future.

Twice I was down there and had time to kill

Didn't know that..

Smythen Street,..!

I remember you talking about them, went there today, I've
never seen the walls before, normally jammed packed with stock,
the reel section had about 100 + on show, now just a handful,
upstairs had several bivvies and brollies, bed chairs, holdalls, tackle bags etc, now
nothing, it's forcing us into online buying even more unless you want to
do the miles.

Not surprised to hear about Exeter angling.
Last time I went in was around 8 months ago, the shop was empty of customers. None of the staff acknowledged me as I walked in and looked about the shop, too busy playing with their phones.

Why would I spend my money in their shop??

Back in the day it was the best shop for miles around.
Two floors chock full of the latest gear and there was an expert angler for every branch of the sport working there, they were very much like the Tackle Box, a bit more expensive but a very good service.

The location was shocking though, nowhere to park apart from the overpriced pay and display along side.
Forward thinking owners would of moved a long time ago, plenty of options on the trading estates in the city.

The place made a living off the match scene alone in the 80s, 100 peggers on the canal/river back then, big local match scene.

Geoff Salisbury, National Angling Champion that's the heritage of the shop,...forgot to add,. Carbotec and Normark rod designer and product tester (...OK riddler)...lol

My mate ,says passed away in first lockdown..so,I remember him in the angling press ,doing big matches on the Exeter canal,against the Harrels and Ashursts..

I know of Dave Harrel was his father a big name match angler like Kevin's dad Benny ? Ashurst ?
