Whatever your target species, or ability and whether your fishing paradise is the beach, lake, canal, or river, you are in the right hands with the UK’s No. 1 online fishing tackle shop!

We opened our first superstore back in 2004. We have since grown to provide Match & Coarse Fishing, Predator Fishing, Specialist Fishing, Fly Fishing, Sea Fishing tackle, and Carp Fishing tackle both in stores and online. Now, you can shop for a variety of baits, fishing rods, fishing reels, fishing clothing, bait boats, tackle boxes, fishing chairs, bite alarms, bed chairs for fishing, fishing lures, and more, all at the most competitive prices.

Many of our shops now offer fishing pole centers, bivvy and umbrella displays, and a selection of bedchairs to try out. We even have a ‘Catchers Corner’ for you to sit, grab a coffee and discuss local fishing venues!
