You can try https://www.tackleiq.co.uk/, they compare all those shops for you

Not a direct shop, but https://www.tackleiq.co.uk/ is a decent price comparison site for carp tackle here in the UK

Hi Cliff

Fished it a few times with the aim of stalking. Got myself a nice little 6fter rod off TackleTarts - long story short it's tough. Incredibly silty, I'd say around 2+m of silt all round and shallow.

There are plenty of carp in there, but they are very shy and you are competing with dog walkers, kids throwing bread in, birds etc as well as a load of litter on the bottom. I wont be renewing this year

My mate just coughed from a bong hit and has potentially ripped his anus from simultaneously farting

I've been tearing it up. First session was a bit slow but since then it's been relatively easy. All down to competence I suppose

Hi,

I hve recently moved to Balham and fo rhte forst time in my life I have the luxury of having a lake on my doorstep (Tooting Common Lake).

Getting all the necessary permits for the June start. Does anyone else fish there - would be good to have a buddy to go with, especially if they have prior knowledge of the lake
