    Have just seen you question and we know of a good mail order catalogue but just cant think of the name of it. Things are very cheap and theres a large range to choose from. We are trying are hardest to think and if we dont come up with it my bf will find out from his brother tomrrow and i will let you know.
  • bennets of sheffield is one of the most famous catalogues.
    but it depends where you are from.
    i always say your best in one of you local tackle shops because you can usually come to a good deal with them and you need to feel the pole before you buy it.

    where you from stationary?
    mmmm free stufffffffff :p

    We know what it is now, dont know how to do the link think im afraid but its
    https://www.askari-fishing.co.uk and they are also currently celebrating 15 years so you get a free calculator wristwatch and multifunction keyring with your order. You can go online and order a free catalogue so its easier to browse their many products.

    Hello Stationairy

    I would agree with the suggestion by i-luv-free-stuff. Visit a local tackle shop and see their range. Ask if they have any second hand stuff, you can find some good quality stuff but at an affordable price.

    Most important of all..........don't forget to buy a rod licence from the Post Office before you fish.;)

    If you're quick you may find what you want in Lidl if you have one near you... They had fishing gear on special last week and I saw some stuff still there on the weekend. You may get lucky!

    lidl's had loads of stuff on friday, definately worth a look
    I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.

    Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.
