Advantages: Mail order service, 6 months interest free credit
Disadvantages: Too far away for me just to pop in and browse

I have shopped at Bennetts for a number of years now and cannot fault them. I use their mail order service which is brilliant. Goods always arrive well protected from damage and in the unlikely event that an item is out of stock they will notify you which is sadly something not all companies do these days. I do hate being left wondering when I will get my missing items. With Bennetts you know. They will send you a catalogue upon request and then ...
...and was no longer made, Bennetts sent me a similar but more expensive rod as a replacement with an excellent covering letter. To say I was pleased would be an understatement. Postage and packing are reasonable between £2.50 & £4.50 dependant upon parcel size. You can buy everything you can think of for angling, they stock a very comprehensive range of products at very reasonable prices. If your credit is good you can arrange 6 months interest ...

Whitby Angling Supplies has been trading in the Haggersgate / Pier Road area of Whitby (North Yorkshire) for longer than I can remember (though apparently it's over 30years), and I recall the days long ago (about mid to late 1980's, when my age had yet to hit double figures) looking in at the stuff in the window, and wanting the chain of fluorescent squid lures to try next time my Dad took me for another hopeless session off Sandsend Beach (he always ...
...more likely he was too cheap to buy the permits for going freshwater fishing instead... how the hell I stuck with the sport I'll never know). Fast forward to the present day, and that tackle shop is still there, though the window display has been largely taken over by a large selection of rods & reels (all of them at a REAL bargain price)...... and somehow I'm still fishing with a passion greater than ever, despite the fact I'm currently pretty ...

This is a store we would recommend most highly for anyone who has just started fishing. The staff will give excellent advice on the necessary equipment ... Read review
