  I used to use Harrisons all the time but now their website is so screwed up and it’s just such a pain in the ass now, I need another reliable site that carries a LOT of stuff in stock or at least can get hold of stuff quick, matchfishing tackle I mean, thanks for any help guys

  Another vote for matchman supplies – free delivery and always seem to carry plenty of stock.

  I know alot people prefer mail order with free delivery & Harrison’s is good for this. But for me the layout of the Benwick Sports site & the stock & service is very, very good. Have also used Billy Clarke’s in Sheffield recently for 3 or 4 order’s & they are spot on from advice to delivery.

  I do support my local shop but plenty of stuff they don’t have and won’t get, what do I do go without?? they never stock tubertini 808 and once in a while have b911, never have decent rig line I like shimano antares silk shock, if they sold all that then I would love to buy it all from them cheers

  The support your local shop thing is olds hat now. My local shop has not moved on from 10 years ago. Stock is poor, pricing is very poor & the shop employs people with little knowledge of fishing. So why should you support your local shop?

  All the dealers listed above are fantastic. Not used this one for a while but they were always decent; http://www.castaway-tackle.co.uk
  
  If you go into a local tackle shop, particularly if you are a regular customer and ask them to get you a product, especially something small relatively inexpensive I have never had any problem.

  Bag Up is excellent, except they are currently off line, upgrading their website
  
  in their absence I’d recommend Benwicks

  Matchman Supplies and The Matchmen, both free postage and great service.

  Have they not contacted you? Sure if you ring them up you will get the problem sorted. Deal with them a lot and Tim is a great guy.

  I have been using Fishermans Friend for a while now great service and goods come in quick time to my door
  as for supporting your local tackle shop well the way i see it if i can get a peice of tackle cheaper on the web then thats where i will go
  
  yes i do agree that they need our coin to keep going but in this current climate i also cannot afford to pay extra at a local tackle shop for a item of tackle when i can get cheaper off the net
  i also have to live of what i earn as well
