Tackle shop directory.

Just wondering if we might be able to get ourselves a tackle shop directory going on here which we can all add to.
Examples:
opening times
bait stocked frozen/fresh
brands of tackle
telephone numbers
helpfulness!

The list is endless, but we could get it going all the way along the areas we all fish. I don't mean this idea as advertising but as a genuine guide and help to us all or those fishing somewhere new.
This could mean a bit of work but I'm quite happy to gather the info from up this end of chesil and get it on.
5 tackle shops up here in Dorchester and Weymouth.

1 - Top Floor Tackle Surplus International
2 - Revels
3 - Chesil Beach Angling Centre (Denning Tackle)
4 - Reels & Deals
5 - Weymouth Angling Centre


If it's wanted I'll carry on with opening times etc.

Good idea. Perhaps members could add their views on the price, quality and levels of service they have experienced as well.

Basic info copied and pasted, I'll contact each shop for further details to make sure each one has a fair representation.
I'll add details missing like opening times etc.
Just incase any one thinks there's any bias towards any shop, I've started in Dorchester(where I live) and done them alphabetically.

Any more to add along the coast?
I'll quite happily add them in if you pass on the name of the shop to me.

I'll get some details for the ones around me; West Bay Watersports, Potters, Tackle Box. Probably worth including Yeovil Angling as well.

good site for takel shops is http://www.3ws.co.uk/tackleshops.shtml

Online - apart from the obviously brilliant Veals there are a couple of less well know sites that have proved good value and service they are Monster Tackle and Devon Angling Centre. Clearly always check Moonfleet first!

Seaton Angling Centre at Axmouth Harbour is my local. Open 8:00-17:00 daily, has a good stock of terminal tackle and general gear. Chris (the Guv) gets his Fresh worm deliverys on a thursday afternoon allways handy to know if your struggling to find any . They also stock all the usual frozen baits Mak, squid, blueys, sand eel, black lug, soft crabs and many more, they also have good stocks of peeler crabs. Tell 01297625511. I will up date this message when I get anymore info worth shareing.

This is a great idea, coming from shaftesbury way i always go to Denning's which is a right pain in the butt if i'm heading to abbotsbury or west bex. Does Top Floor Tackle Surplus International sell rag/lug worm and such? (I go right past dorchester on my way down to the beach)

yep top floor do rag and lug plus all the frozen stuff, they can get peelers to order too. They are quite expensive though. There is also Revels fishery near middlemarsh they do worm sometimes, worth a call they have all the frozen baits too.

Yep - he does. His live bait is good (though not the cheapest) and his frozen is excellent. Always ring to book though as when the fish are in there is a lot of demand!
