Bait & Tackle in Sligo Town and Environs

[lodore]

Howdy Folks,

Heading off to Sligo for the holidays next weekend, and in exchange for including the mother-in-law, I've bargained some fishing time. So, are there any good bait suppliers in Sligo? Tackle less of an issue, but no harm knowing of a decent shop too. Any info much appreciated.

Also--and this is just being cheeky--I'm hoping to have a crack at the tope. Should someone wish to PM me a good mark, I could let them know know about a cracking spot for undersized pollack in Waterford

Cheers,
Lodore

Cant help on the tope front but tackle shops you have 2 house of value in the tesco car park mostly cheap stuff and frozen bait and Barton smiths by the river ( dont know the street name ) Full selection of stuff but rather expensive and ammo frozen bait. Pm me if you want good lug digging spots
Cheers

Thanks for that Mike; it's much appreciated. It will probably be a bridge too far for the missus if I put a fork into the car, so I'm probably ok for the lug––though thanks very much for the offer! Will put up a report if I get anything substantial ...

Cheers,
Lodore

The frozen bait in barton smiths on hyde bridge is better quaility just bring plenty of money with ya most marks are fishing well.

Thanks for that Brian. Sadly, the bait is pretty overpriced where I am too, so putting the hand in the pocket will be a familiar experience

barton smiths prices can be a whole new experience although they do have local knowledge
