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.
Read moreI 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.
Read moreI 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.
Read moreGot 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.
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.
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.
