How do you buy yours..

[crablante]

Rods and reels were bought online (eBay, Uttings, etc) but hooks, swivels, bait elastic, bait, etc all from the LTS. Could probably find it cheaper online but whatever HOWEVER sinkers I've bought online because I'm fussy.

I dont want a rod that I have not “wiggle “ tested , so rods and reels , got to be a visit to a tackle shop, most other things, like terminal gear , hooks, etc are bought on line. I make all my own sinkers and rigs so everything related to that is bought on line as well. Except lead, that is sourced locally ( ooer missus !)
Mono /Braid, online. Clothing has to be a visit to the suppliers otherwise it probably wont fit . Lighting , Online as you dont get the deals otherwise .

Saying all of the above, when I buy bait I from a tackle shop, I will always throw in a couple of packets of hooks or similar just to increase his profit a little.

I reckon I’m good for about 20yrs before I need to buy anything else
