tackle shops

#1 Post by gearoid mc s. »

im in line for a new mulitplier this christmas and i was just wondering are there are any descent shops in cork or dublin that stock the new abu's and 525's at reasonable prices. tried a shop in limerick recently but was quoted 225+ for a 525!! surely theres somewhere that stocks em cheaper??

Your better off buying in uk...try Glasgow Angling centre or Veals...or have a look on Ebay.I've bought all my fishing reels from either of those.
You'll find you'll save yourself a right few bob as well !!

Did you try Limerick Angling center and try and quote the mail order prices.

Cheapest way to get a 525 if from the US if you know anyone going over there to hand carry in to avoid duty.
