Came in for some fishing supplies and the young chap Harrison, who assisted us, couldn’t have been more helpful! Very knowledgeable and helped us with what we needed and a few bits we didn’t know we needed too! Thoroughly recommend popping down for a look!

Didn't expect much to he honest but it's unreal, all types of fishing gear wether it's pike and predatory fish, carp and even small river gear, all sorts of brands and tackle even things tackle shops wouldn't normally stock, could easily get an entire set up for all sorts of budgets, everything is priced well and the customer service is better than anywhere I've been before, all staff friendly and chatty very knowledgeable and easy going, they even have a reward scheme, something I've never seen in a tackle shop before, will most definitely be using them for my tackle in the future, and yes they even stock maggots

Sea fishing essentials

What sea fishing tackle do I need?

Most UK sea anglers start with a beach rod, a fixed spool or multiplier reel, mono mainline and a shock leader. Then comes the terminal tackle: leads, swivels, links, hooks, beads and rigs. The rig depends on the fish. A 2 hook flapper suits flounder and plaice in estuaries, a pulley dropper holds bigger baits for ray and cod, and a fixed ledger with a long snood is a standard bass rig. Feathers catch mackerel from piers and boats through the summer. Bass anglers fishing lures use metals like the HTO Pathfinder, soft plastics like the Axia Mighty Minnow, and surface lures like the Xorus Popchinko.

Sea fishing questions

A fixed ledger with a long snood is the standard bass rig. The Cox and Rawle Bass Rig is tied this way on a 4/0 hook. Bait it with crab, sandeel or squid and fish close in, where bass feed in the surf.

Most beach anglers use leads of 4 to 6oz. Go heavier, or use a grip lead, in strong tide or rough surf. Plain pyramid leads like the Tronix Pyramid Pro hold well on sand in calmer water.

A string of feathers such as Tronix Hokkai, a 3 to 4oz lead and a rod that can cast it. Mackerel shoal along the south coast from late spring to early autumn.

Yes, when casting leads of 4oz or more. The leader takes the force of the cast so the mainline doesn’t snap and send the lead flying. The usual rule is 10lb of leader for every 1oz of lead.

Yes. The shop is at Southdown Store, Cuckfield Road, Burgess Hill, West Sussex, RH15 8RE. It’s open Monday to Friday 8am to 5:30pm and Saturday 8am to 12:30pm, closed Sundays and bank holidays. Visit the shop.
