Rutherfords

Always found the guy really helpfull, he also sells his bait to anybody not just clingons

[codseeker]

nice of him to sponsor the sunderland council comp over this weekend too with prizes

[The Plum]

some folk call rutherford greedy,i cant see how his gears much cheaper than anywhere elses and his rods are much much cheaper and hes got lots more gear,[maybe thats how hes been there all these years and the ones that call him are closed down]i like andy hes a good lad and advice is always there hes not a liar like lots of the shops inventing catches ect to sell bait if summats ***e heel tell ya

[scaley]

Of course he is tight,he is a businessman and a damn good one at that,the lads probably done more for seafishing in the northeast than any other angler/tackleshop owner around by way of organising,sponsoring competitions and helping anglers with marks,rigs baits etcetc.As for bait if you want good stuff phone him well in advance,if its available he will keep it for you when it arrives regardless of if your new to the sport or a cling on....Cling ons my fat ar@e..........probs 90% of anglers use the shop and have a good bit craic....only a very small shop....so yip 3 people in its a crowd........The best stocked shop in Sunderland without a shadow of a doubt......Bait is expensive but end of the day when other tackleshops have folded in the past as they dont make a profit,hell be there with bait when your desperate.
Dont really agree with threads slating tackle shops,fair enough if they have tried ripping you off...........agree with other posts support your local tackle shops .........Reet i will be off to rutherfords in the morning to assume my position on the starboard bow before he goes to Gambia with the rest of the clingons

Wasnt me mate honest

[phill_itofish]

andy is a good lad,good quality gear used to buy everthing from him when i fished.i bought a saltist 30 2 yr back and it was £20.00 cheaper than my local dealer r,,,,,,,,t have a guess what this shop name is,the same guy when you go in for certain baits he has'nt got it but he has a fridge full keeping it for his regulars ,and he's only got a smile on his face when your spending money bad business i think.

Is thus not down to the bait in the fridge being pre ordered

[roncoe]

dont go in that often but always has bait when i want it and seems an ok bloke very helpful and knowledgeable and yes it is an aladdins cave

[The Plum]

ive shopped there for years and years since its opened and hes always been good and has just about everything i want ,other shops dont,tackle is awesome and cheaper than anywhere else ,i know i shop around

[YoursTruly]

no mate he keeps it for his mates and makes sure they have what they need,before he will sell to you hes a funny bloke and alot of would agree.hes had alot of dissatisfied customers.me like alot of others would rather travel to rutherfords than spend my money in his shop.

Mako, i guess your talking about me.
Well you are entitled to your opinnion, it seems tackle dealers are such an easy target, there is always someone willing to drag them down just because they dont go along with the way they think.

The bit about the bait, i dont just keep bait for my mates, if your post is anything to judge by i mustnt have any mates at all so how can i keep bait for them.

The other bit about keeping bait for my regulars, yes i do keep bait for my regulars and why shoudnt i !
