What internet site do you use if you dont mind me asking,i posted earlier asking the lads about what internet sites they find good for tackle and got very little response even though it had a mass of viewings

When I do use internet sites which is few and far between I do my homework and look at about 5....Spotted Dog, Glasgow Angling, Tackledirect and Gerrys....all vary in prices depending on what your looking for but to be honest there nothing better than going down your local shop and getting a few bits and having a chat.

Thanks for reply,i appreciate what your saying because i like the bit of natter too etc when down at the local shops but when you dont have a workable income wage funds are VERY restricted and to enjoy the pleasure of fishing i have to persue websites for better deals because of this

Bought some mustad hooks from a tackle shop a few weeks ago,i think around 2.50 euro for 10,went to another last week and bought the same size but 30 odd for around 3.50 euro.Later when making traces i looked at the packaging labels more closely and they both looked identicle but then noticed that the better deal buy had MADE IN CHINA on them where as the other box hadnt.Was wondering where mustad hooks are manufactured and are the "CHINESE" ones immitations.....
