I for one am all for protecting and
using our local tackle shops and will try my hardest to buy items of
kit from them before using the internet. We might get an item
slightly cheaper on the net, yet there is always the chance of credit
card fraud in doing so. Another advantage of using a tackle shop is
if something goes wrong they will either replace the item or give you
your money back. In fact some tackle shops wont stock items that
constantly need replacing, its just more work and cost to them, so
usually when buying a product you can rest assured its not one that
has a track issue with reliability.
Unfortunately some shops let themselves
down with the quality of live bait, by this I mean maggots and worms.
As a customer you have the right to look at your bait and refuse to
buy this if it looks past its use by date. I for one have been caught
on more than one occasion, usually when I’m in a rush, only to open
up a tub of worms on the bank to find them dead or go to use the
maggots that they have half turned to casters. It only takes one bad
encounter for a customer to bypass buying bait from a shop, in fact
even going to that shop, so there is a lesson for both parties here,
stock only top quality bait and refuse it if it doesn’t look good!
