Have to say i was totally annoyed at it i was lookin to buy some tackle but ended up giving up there was more for fly fishing than anything else grrrrr dont get me wrong i do fly fish but when your lookin for something new and for sea or coarse well unfortunetly this was a waste of money to be honest it seemed to me alot of tackle shops were there just to get rid of there shite stock. I just hope the one in city west this month will be better

if i didnt get my free ticket i wasnt go any way but , when i get free ticket i said to me self why not and i went.
it was mainly fly fishing and i do not fly fish therefore i wasnt so happy. lots of british tacle shops unwanted items.
one or two section was ok but it wasnt cheaper than my local tackle shop or some onlineweb site.
but again if you in to fly fishing it was lots of it(i said before have no idea fly fishing)
also i agree about Warrior 175 ,she was so sexy.
probably i wont go next year (unless some one willing to give me free ticket again :wink: )
City West show will be better in two weeks
