This is my local tackle shop and i have been using it for years, having now moved to ANGLSEY ROAD the new superstore is a lot better with loads of space and a huge range of products. The staff are really knowledgable and if you need some local advice, they are great on all aspects of fishing. If you are local to the area, they are worth a visit to pick up a few bargains.

Advantages: Cheap, Stylish, well made Disadvantages: None
Shakespeare SUMMIT fly reels, in the 2684/000 size ready loaded with Backing, Flyline (6 WFF) + leader for just under £22.
The standard factory supplied reel comes unloaded, and is RRP'ed @ £19 (but can be picked up for around £10-£15 if you know where to look.... try either WHITBY ANGLING SUPPLIES or MULLARKEY & SONS).

They aren't really all that expensive, usually costing between £1.25 - £2.75 depending on the shop. Cheaper still, mail-order tackle stores such as MULLARKEY & SONS (mullarkeys.co.uk) and ASKARI Fishing (askari-fishing.co.uk) do them in bulk packs of 25 - 30(ish) for around £15 - £25 which isn't too bad when you consider buying a similar amount of genuine MEPPS spinners would cost you just under £60
The idea of the artificial lure is to mimick the action of a sick or dying fish, which fools predatory fish into thinking there's an easy meal coming past them....... and you've always got to ...
