Terminal tackle

[NICKY]

I find you never need to just buy something for a £1 as for ebay theres more copys on there than you can shake a stick at I want confidence in my end tackle and will only use tackle shops or online companies like veals if my local shop hasn't got what im after in stock.If you want to buy cheap go for ebay and face the chance of losing what could be a once in a lifetime fish.

so I use £6 worth of petrol going to a tackle shop for something for eg , £1 . when I can use ebay freepost and goods are cheaper anyways , or should I spend £20 at the shop to make my £6 worth of fuel worthwhile . ?? saying people should buy terminal tackle so we can have bait , is like buying shoe laces from a shoe shop so we can have a shoe supply .

I can see your point here to mate. The online prices are going down and shop prices going up. I use my local tackle shop all the time for terminal tackle or veals for hooks. I just think they could get a bit closer in prices with the larger items. As for not having fresh bait there is always bait diggers. Mind therey are very unreliable as most want there money and worm collected the second they get home

so you only buy bait elastic in 1's to be posted now to me that is just stupid,end user issue I don't think so do a search on cheap lead links snapping ect maybe your just tight and have no problem in losing a big fish when one pops along why have a £300+ rod £150 reel then put cheap line,leader along with cheap sub standard swivels and hooks on the end doesn't make sense one bit.

I live in shields and I don't have a car, that's why I was asking

[paulthespark]

the difference between buying fishing tackle on line as apposed to buying at your local tackle shop is like buying beer online or going down your local for a few pints a good laugh with the lads more products that you can actually see and if the beer is ****e you tell them and the staff will change it there and then that's why I always use my local pub and tackle shop

Each to their own I suppose, not everyone has the same disposable income as the next person. Where I can I'll buy local or use veals mail order as he's very dependable. At the end of the day it's up to the individual and the individuals pocket, no one can tell anyone what they can and can't spend on THEIR gear.
