My vote is ABC tackle off Capel st. Great prices and Allen (86) gives some of the best best advice you can get.

I saw this nice vid on YouTube about Allen - you won't get this online :D

+1 For Halfway Angling and Dan Lynch, great selection of gear and a gentleman too. One winter evening I arrived just after he locked up and he happily opened up again- it was the difference between me being able to go cod fishing that weekend and not.
