Excellent all round. Really helpful advice and a very quick delivery. Loving the new rod.

Ordered and purchased on line, didn’t have in stock but spoke and offered replacement with a more expensive rod really happy

I ordered a rod, took my money then tell me they don’t have it in stock . Kept trying to sell me a different rod instead of giving me a refund. Gave excuse after excuse for not giving me a refund.... See more

Written by the company

Tony’s Tackle was founded in Eastbourne in 1974 by Tony Kirrage, built on the belief that anglers deserve honest advice and tackle that genuinely works. From the start, the shop became known for straight talking and reliable gear rather than sales hype. Over the years, Tony established himself as a respected angler as well as a tackle dealer, competing at the highest levels of match fishing, representing England internationally, and working closely with leading manufacturers including Penn, Shimano, Daiwa and Greys. Today, Tony’s Tackle continues both in-store and online, supplying anglers across the UK with carefully selected new and second-hand tackle, always with the same focus on quality, experience and trust.

Avoid!!

I ordered a rod, took my money then tell me they don’t have it in stock . Kept trying to sell me a different rod instead of giving me a refund. Gave excuse after excuse for not giving me a refund. I’m still waiting!!
I found out I’m not the only one he has done this to.
I would strongly avoid buying from this place.

We strive for 100% accuracy, but as our other 5-star reviews show, this is an isolated case. When an item is out of stock, we offer replacements to help customers get their gear faster.

Because a bank dispute was opened before we could resolve this, the refund is now handled by the bank's system. We have provided them with all necessary info to conclude their investigation.
