I heard that it was closing down. Sorry to hear this. Another reason why we should support our local tackle dealers more. I know that Belfast Angling does the exact same prices as those online without the postage charges.

Pity to hear that Harry has closed down the Foyle shop, Would you not consider ordering from his Belfast shop or even coming down on the train once in a while, the shop is only a 2min walk from York rd train station. I travel myself a few times a year from belfast up to Portrush to buy a few bits n bobs as sometimes the travel makes good savings money wise.

Update....Harry closing the Foyle shop is obviously bad news for those in that area, but for those in the Bangor area he is moving to bigger and better premises in a few weeks time..
