online shop? Best value and shipping?

looking for an online site that'll sell me a Daiwa 7HT etc and ship to Ireland... what's your recommendation?

I've had good experiences quite recently with both http://www.spottydogtackle.com and http://www.tackleshop.co.uk. Both seem to have the 7HT. Both have very fast and helpful service. Spotty Dog also sell through eBay if you like buying that way. Probably doesn't make much difference though.

VEALS by a mile!!!!

i agree, veals are very good

try anglesey bait centre Tel: 01248 810009 ask for malcom gilroy the shop is in beumaris,anglesey and if you ring make sure your number is visable as he doesnt pickup to withheld numbers.he does mail order but you will have to check out postage the reel is £140 for the new blue mag.

Ask Henrys Tackle in Dublin for a cost too, he's also very good.

Some places will match internet prices with delivery! always worth the ask! to keep the monies in the local economy

Sur no wonder the economy is fcuked altogether..

Can buy a brand new abu hi-speed in UK for £97.

I purposely rang a few dealers during the week and

Ranged from E165 to E190.

Keep it local???? Hmmmmm

Rant over. ( I may go back on the fags)

And heres me lookin at one for €115 prob no more than an hours drive from you!!!!!!!!!

Thats all I would pay for one,well maybe E130 at max.


Ranged from E165 to E190. These are ridicolous prices

I picked up a brand new Mag Extra last week for £85.

I have to say I am very happy with Veals.

On one occassion they sent me the fixed spool version of a rod when I had ordered the multiplier version. The promptly admitted the mistake, shipped me the multiplier version immediately, refunded the shipping charge and sent a courier around to pick up the fixed spool version to bring it back to Bristol.

Couple of days a later a box full of goodies arrived for my trouble - load of fancy varivas line, leaders, hooks, etc., etc.

Can't really argue with that kinda service...

i agree,veals are excellent but for bulk orders especially end tackle try tacklebargains.co.uk.

Be aware before anyone slaggs Irish retailers off against the UK.

1/ Vat is only 15% in the UK
2/ Most stuff comes from the UK, carriage cost.
3/ Most of the shops here who have Abu stock would have bought before the Euro got to near the £
3/ Volume....shops sell more in the UK because there are more anglers.

BTW.....ABU dont discount Ambassaduer reels to anyone, all shops pay the same trade price.

Tom.

Serious mark up then for that particular dealer that quoted me E190 for an abu hi speed.
