In that case Pete . Abbotsbury angling gets my vote always provides quality bait . I also use tackle trader in Newton Abbot for bits n bobs including bait mainly frozen but they do have good ragworm and if your lucky fresh peeler .

Its true though isnt it...... the internet is kinda not important, the only thing we all do is use it for convenience and price checking.

As far as fishing goes where we buy our tackle is not the most important place to any of us......... its the local or even the not so local bloke who is important and gives us the bait thats who is actually important.

There probably 10 good online retailers and frankly I dont give a shit about them they are just people I give my card details to. The person that matters is the bloke who hands me 100 decent blacks at 6.30pm on a grim November evening that allows me to chance my arm for a cod, he matters the others they are all just a load o bollox to me.

Abbo tackle best bait buy far
Westbay best stocked
Lyme Regis most knowledgeable and forward thinking tackle( hookups get involved)
Seaton tackle getting better all the time

Some people need to wake up,if we dont use our local tackle shops we will lose them !!!,we will have nowhere to go for the odds & sods we all need ASAP

In Hull there,s not a decent shop that caters for sea anglers , if your a carp angler that,s a different story.

There are quite a few good tackle shops for sea fishing gear & bait here. I've used Rob's bait & tackle & Plymouth angling centre a few times last year.

On @John Mitchell's excellent recommendation, I've used SouthWest Sea baits many times for bait, but they moved a few months ago into a unit where our commercial fish quay is located. Not needed bait since they moved, and there is ANPR cameras on the Fish quay so not sure about parking. I think John said if you give the shop your car registration, you can park there for 30mins, but not been down to test the theory. Don't want a ticket, and there's nowhere else nearby to park.

You have 30 minutes from the time you drive in to the fish quay , should be ample to get your bait

Abbo bait and tackle when on beach,

I thought I'd remembered you saying that John. I meant to ask you whether there is a wet fish counter down there? Thought I saw something in the local rag a while ago. Thought about going down for some tasty Plaice.

If you want tasty plaice , we can go beesands or east portlemouth and catch proper fresh plaice

Good idea, but still not good with this bloody chest infection Wifey donated to me. It's not shifting.

I know its an old thread but a shop i havent seen mentioned- the local shops to me don't stock much in the form of lures and plastics so I use Todber Manor for my needs.

Shame that the biggest beneficiary of anglers money put fuck all back into the sport.
But I did put an order last week simply because they had what I needed.
Great shop..... shame about the ethics.
