I am writing to tell you all to support your local tackle shops! My local
shop "Supertackle" in Beeston Notts has just shut down which means to get
bait I now have to drive 4-5 miles into Notts just to get half a pint of
maggots and a tin of hemp! I always took the local shop for granted but now
im left feeling a little sad as its gone. Hopefully it will be taken over
and made back into a tackle shop, I hope so as I don't fancy that trek to
get bait! Anyone else have any local tackle shop stories?

Unfortunately, I dont know any local fishing shops as I live in Bolton
near the huge BAS shop.
