t30sxh Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Not sure if this is the correct forum. I'm visiting the UK soon and will be staying in Suffolk, staying near the coast in Saxmundham. Can someone please recommend some tackleshops, I've got a list of things I'm going to pick up and I'm considering buying some new rods whilst over there, so would prefer a shop with a good range of rods.

spr1985 Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Depends on how far you are willing to travel mate, I don't know the specific area very well but I know it's "out in the sticks" as I worked their once, I'm sure their are some guys from up that way on here....so no doubt can offer much better advice, but as a a start you have angling direct at Colchester and a huge place on Canvey island (it's name escapes me) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Suffolk? Off the top of my head, a few for you: Gladwells at Copdock Birds at Blakenham Markham's on Woodbridge Road Breakaway Tackle on Bramford Road Stuart's Clay traps, Melton Tackle Up, Bury St. Edmunds Sax Angling, Back of market Saxmundham. Of course I would recommend Gladwells, I work there, but I would say we have some of the best selection of rods, and nicest service going. Birds may be the biggest tackle shop with most brands, but... For obvious reasons I haven't been in another tackle shop for over a year, so I wouldn't say what stocks are like. spr1985 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmarket Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Nothing like doing your own PR hee, hee. Not forgetting commission of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Not forgetting commission of course I wish! Plus mentioning other shops means I am not advertising unfairly Oh, and there is part of the Angling Direct dynasty at Beccles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t30sxh Posted December 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Popped into Gladwells and Birds yesterday and bought a few bits in each shop. Thanks for the recommendations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
