    Have you ever got gear in Atlantic shooting and fishing in Carlow? Only heard about this place last week,must check it out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,551 ✭✭✭SeaFields


    went to the woodies in blackpool in cork city yesterday. Got myself alot of jelly worms for the pollock and bass next summer and the last packet of aberdeen hooks. There was little left but a lot of coarse fishing tackle if it suits anyone and a few rods.

    new(ish) tackle shop in bundoran

    http://landandseasports.ie/

    have passed by a few times must pop in for a look


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 580 ✭✭✭whelzer


    Folks - I was just in my local Woodies, they are selling all tackle @ 70% off.
    Mostly budget Fladen stuff, so ok at such a discounted price....

    I got a heap of lures, spinners, softbaits and various odds and sods for next to nothing, girl on checkout confirmed it was same in all Woodies..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 32,688 ✭✭✭✭ytpe2r5bxkn0c1


    This has been running since Christmas week at least. Most stores are now empty.
    There's coverage of it on the tackle shops thread.

    Anyone know any shop in kerry specialising in fly tying materials???

    Landers of Tralee sell them as far as I know. The small tackle shop in killarney (I can't think if the name but they're in the town centre ) should do too.

    Landers got rid of it claiming there is no money in it, and o sullivans in killarney has very little :-(

    I have found great value and quality here -

    Swords Angling Centre has just opened up in the last few days. It is owned by Ruairi Coleman, and is at Unit 1, Bramley Terrace, Applewood. It has a good range of tackle, with more to arrive in the next few days. He will also be selling live and dead bait. He caters for coarse, game, and sea angling. I popped up for a look a few hours ago.


  • Registered Users Posts: 724 ✭✭✭Park Royal


    Even with postage its no harm to check this shop out........ask fior Mick.......( he usually gets stuff away fairly fast)

    Anyone know if the rod and gun in Tallaght is opening again or moved somewhere else?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,954 ✭✭✭counterlock


    Theres a new place open in Tralee in Clash called star super store. It seems to be open strange hours, Saturdays 9-6 and weds and friday evenings. I'm going to head over this week and check it out and I'll report back


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,330 ✭✭✭niallon


    Anyone with opinions on Anglers World on Mullingar? Looks to be a superstore which I'd usually head to Southside for but believe it or not, with traffic, driving to Mullingar can sometimes seem more appealing than driving into town so I'm thinking of popping out Friday.

    Just got my second consignment from troutflies.co.uk and they are excellent quality, very well priced, with low postage and speedy delivery. They seem to have a huge range of patterns and sizes. They are my new first stop for flies!

    I was there April(ish) on the way to fish Owel, chap running it/behind the counter was sound out, very honest - my mate wanted to buy a reel, he told him to go off and investigate properly as oppossed to flogging him something there and then. My sense was it is geared more towards course/pike than fly anglers, don't mean this in a bad way!

    Cheers for that, got in there yesterday and the chap behind the counter is the same guy used to run Outdoor Pursuits in Mullingar town before it closed, very nice guy and good tips. Shop itself is good, little sparse. I wonder is the Navan branch maybe more substantial given its the main store seemingly


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 746 ✭✭✭Mr Rhode Island Red


    Hasn't been mentioned here yet, Outdoor Pursuits tackle shop in Ballinrobe, Co. mayo is a great shop


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,710 ✭✭✭Joeseph Balls


    Anyone been to Vivado Fishing Tackle in Tullamore?

    I finally got round to checking this place out, not a whole lot of stuff, a couple of traces, feather rigs and hooks. Reasonably priced on weights though

    Was in there today, definitely my new go to tackle shop. Chap that served me was saying they're still nowhere near fully stocked yet either, which made sense to me as I saw they had loads of Savage Gear equipment, but no Savage Gear lures, lots to come from that place.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,896 ✭✭✭✭Spook_ie


    Just spotted this shop when fetching some ink believe it or not!

    http://www.baracudafishingtackle.ie/

    in Artane, thing that caught my eye was the following on the advertising board outside
    Do you want to go fishing? You have no bait! We can help! For a minimum buy of 20 we can open the shop at anytime you want!

    "

    Does anyone know any shops (online or in Dublin) where I can get soft plastics? I'm looking for cheap loose grubs/shads etc. Tried Rorys and ABC, they don't have much of a selection in terms of soft baits.

    I know Aliexpress/ebay would be the best place but I don't want to wait for shipping from china.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,364 ✭✭✭.red.


    Google agm discount fishing. Their uk based but have reasonable shipping. They dont have any of the fancy expensive brands but have some cracking plastics at great prices.


  • Registered Users Posts: 76 ✭✭deni20000


    Pat Nolans Premier Angling Nenagh - probably one of the best in the country for fly fishing only and the best for fly tying materials. No particular opening hours - phone first 067-33997 or 087-9292665. Rods and reels go up to crazy prices but you get what you pay for and there's some reasonably priced stuff too. Also sells second hand rods.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,275 ✭✭✭bpmurray


    Around me, I use the following for sea-angling - I have no idea about their course/game gear:
    • Drogheda Angling Centre (no website) - reasonable selection and has ragworm too.
    • Duo Hook - only used it once, but they seem to have a good selection. I think they also have a shop in Dublin.
    It might be a good idea to gather the information in this thread as a sticky.

    try baracuda in artane,
    or henrys in ballybough and then theres swords tackle shop too,
    each have different selections of soft plastics.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 683 ✭✭✭gumbo1


    I couldn't recommend both ABC beside the fruit market in Dublin and Barracuda in Artane. Both are well stocked and reasonable prices for deadbaits and terminal tackle. Barracuda is quite handy for opening for 20€ min spend with is fairly easy to do!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,551 ✭✭✭SeaFields


    My father texted me to say the tackle shop on the kinsale road in Cork is closing. It's a shame. They had a great set up there. Two week closing down sale on for anyone close by to stock up for the coming season.

    Cork Angling? Thate a shame. I didnt use them a whole lot but anytime i did they always made time for a quick chat and a joke.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 660 ✭✭✭popsy09


    Very nice and friendly but I found em a bit expensive and didn't do salmon licences

    Picked up a few bits and bobs in the sale alright

    You will have to look hard for a shop to compete with t.w. Murrays in my opinion

    best tackle shop i was ever in was in Drumcondra catch tackle was the name of the place on sion hill road , a big double fronted shop and loads of parking , once i bought a trolling rig that you could use 2 lures at a time , caught a pike and a trout on it at same time , lots of unusual stuff in it , does anyone one know where he is now ? as i could do with a double rig that he made himself .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,357 ✭✭✭✭Larbre34


    A friend of mine is a keen competition angler and coach, he's having a big birthday soon and a few of us want to club together and get him a voucher for a good tackle shop in Dublin or online option with a good range.

    Can anyone recommend places in Dublin or quality online services where i could get a voucher for him?

    Southside Angling Centre. They have a good range of stock and can order anything that's not in store!

    Agreed, on Cork Street, they would have one of the biggest ranges in Dublin

    great selection in viking tackle bray~really helpful staff, invited me to join clubs and all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,709 ✭✭✭jd


    Swords angling is worth a look too. Ruairi the owner is sound


  • Registered Users Posts: 40 JOhnty78


    Anyone else use these? Found them on adverts first but theres a better selection on the website. - www.reeds.ie

    ive used them twice and very happy both times. Cheap too, cheaper than even english shops for what i wanted!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,246 ✭✭✭ardinn


    I just opened Slaneyfishing.com today - still in it's infancy but many products live now - flies are probably the best value around and tied beyond any silverbrook etc standard i have seen.

    Log in and help a brother out :D

    Also any feedback welcome, by pm, not to be clogging up the thread.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,551 ✭✭✭SeaFields


    I just see that reeds.ie is having a closing down sale. It's a pity as they had a nice selection of stuff. There's 40% off online at the moment in anyone needs to stock up.
