London Tackle Shops

**Big_Phil** · 16-10-2009, 10:22

Hi all - was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some decent tackle shops in North London. The one nearest to me is heavily focussed towards course fishing (which makes sense), and has very little by way of sea fishing gear. I've heard of a place in Edmonton, but haven't made it up there yet... If anyone knows of that place, or any other, it would be great if you could let me know.

Cheers. BP.

I think that sometimes it's better to use tackle shops on or near the coast as they generaly have more and know about more sea gear and have an ear to the grapevine.
You will certainly get the best advice based on local knowledge and knowhow.
Which is your favoured bit of coast?

Bowlers in dagenham used to stock a fair range of sea stuff give them a ring. still a fair way from you though.

Hi Big Phil

Whereabouts in North London are you mate?
I'm in Finchley, there's a few tackle shops around me, the first one is in Friern Barnet (close to Finchley) D&A Tackle N12 0RU. They have a bit of sea tackle etc

or go here and click on 'maps' to see whats closest to you...

Where do you usually fish? I mostly fish in Kent but will be trecking to the Essex coast in the near future, there are some excellent bait/ tackle shops in Dover, my fav is Bills Bait N Tackle on snargate st, really good fresh bait!

Tight lines
