Lure set, pretty good

Got a lure set off them for a session. Ordered Monday, came Wednesday. Colours looked a bit darker than the photos but fine. Price was a bit higher than I've seen elsewhere, not a massive deal though.

better than my last place by a mile

Compared it with the shop I used to buy from and the difference is obvious, the range on the site is wider and the stock actually matches what's listed. Ordering was quick, I'd been bracing for a faff but it took about five minutes. Packed well too, nothing rattled about. I know this stuff well enough to say the spec is accurate, which is what I care about most.

Needed a cheap reel, got a mess

I needed a cheap reel for a mate's birthday and went with them because the price looked good. The reel arrived with a cracked spool and the returns process was a pain, I had to fill in a form, wait for an email and then post it back at my own cost. The price was low but the whole thing took three weeks to sort out and I'd think twice before ordering again.

A reliable supplier for years

I started buying from them when I took up sea fishing properly, because my old supplier had closed down and I needed somewhere dependable to get tackle. They've been that ever since. I reorder hooks and line regularly, the stock is usually there and the delivery has never let me down in the years I've been using them.

Tried a few places first

Compared a few shops before ordering, and this one had the best combination of range and price for the kit I wanted. Checkout was quick and the confirmation came straight away. Nothing about it made me hesitate.

far better than the big chains

Compared with the big chain stores, this is the one I trust for the sort of kit I buy, the spec sheets are proper and I can tell what I'm getting. Ordering took no time and the parcel was sensibly packed. I've been fishing long enough to know a decent lure when I see one.

sensible, reliable and easy to use

I've bought a few things from them over the years and the site is simple enough that I don't need help with it. The line I ordered for my grandson arrived in good condition and the instructions were clear. I'd happily order from them again.

needed a backup for the trip

My main rod snapped a week before a trip to Scotland, so I needed something quick to replace it. I'm fairly picky about rods and I knew what action I wanted, and the listing gave me enough detail to order with confidence. It turned up before I left and it's been fine on the water since.

Bought the spinning reel

I bought a spinning reel and it's the smoothest one I've owned, the drag is consistent and it feels solid in the hand. Ordering was simple, I just picked the one I wanted and it was dispatched the same day. Everything arrived in one piece.

Lovely fishing jacket, arrived in good time

I ordered a waterproof fishing jacket for my husband's birthday and it arrived within the week, which I was pleased about. The sizing chart was a little generous compared with what I expected, so we did have to exchange it for a smaller one. The second one fitted him beautifully and the material feels sturdy. The customer team were polite when I rang about the swap.

the reel came as shown

I ordered a fishing reel and it came exactly as pictured on the site. The checkout was easy enough, though I did have to re-enter my postcode twice. Delivery was a touch slow but the reel itself is what I wanted.

packed really well and quick to arrive

The first thing I noticed was how carefully the rod was packed, wrapped in bubble wrap inside a sturdy box with no damage at all. I've been buying from them for a few years for bits and bobs and this is the most solid order I've had. Dispatch was the next day and tracking worked straight away. Prices are good and the site is easy to navigate on my phone.

Been buying from them for years

I've been a regular customer for years now and the verdict is simple, they're reliable and the prices are fair. I reorder line and lures a few times a year and it's always been smooth. The packing is careful and nothing has ever arrived damaged.

not as good as the old shop

Compared with the independent shop I used to visit, this feels a bit impersonal. The order was fine and the item arrived when promised, but when I had a question it took four days to get a reply from customer support. I expected quicker help than that.

got it fast and it works

Needed a new headtorch for a camping trip on Friday and ordered on my phone during my lunch break. Checkout was quick and it came the next morning. Works well, sorted!

good value for the money

The best thing was the price per item once I added up a bundle, which was noticeably lower than the other places I checked. Delivery took a couple of days longer than the site suggested but it arrived. For the money I think it's a sensible choice for everyday gear.

cheap enough but you get what you pay for

I bought a basic set of sea rod rests to keep my spend down and the price was the main draw. The rests are fine for the money but the locking clamp feels flimsy after a couple of trips. Getting a reply from support took three days, which was annoying when I wanted to know about a return. Still, I got the set for less than I expected and it does the job for now.

Still my go to after years

They're still the first place I look for tackle, and I've been buying from them for about eight years now. Reordering is easy, my details are saved and it's usually with me the next day. Prices sit where I'd expect and I've never had a problem with a return.

Best balance of range and price

They came out on top for me after comparing a few shops for a new head torch and a bivvy bag. Range was good and the prices were a bit better than the big outdoor chains. Delivery took a bit longer than advertised, around four days, but it wasn't a dealbreaker. The product descriptions are detailed and helpful when you're trying to choose.
