About Us

We are a South Wales based company and have been in business for over forty years, with an online store for the past fifteen years. We have three shops, two in Cardiff and one in Newport.

The Cardiff shops are next door but one to each other. At 105 Whitchurch Road we have a shop totally dedicated to fly fishing. Should you visit us you will find a comprehensive stock of fly rods, reels, lines, clothing and an enormous range of flies (everything from pike, tarpon, bonefish and bass flies to a huge array of trout and salmon flies).

At 109 Whitchurch Road we have a shop dedicated to coarse, carp, spinning and sea fishing. Here you will find everything you could possibly need to go spinning or bait fishing, from rods, reels and terminal tackle, to lures, fresh baits and clothing.

Our Newport shop is on two floors. Upstairs is entirely fly fishing, whilst downstairs is dedicated to spinning and bait fishing. If you can visit us, we look forward to seeing you.

If you have any fishing questions or require any advice on tackle or places to fish, please ring us, as we will be pleased to help. All our members of staff are keen and knowledgeable fishermen, and between us we have a vast knowledge of fishing around the world.

Myself, Richard, Paul, Ceri, Bob, Jake and Lloyd are based at the Cardiff shops (02920 619828/692968); Andrew and Matthew are based at our Newport shop (01633 855086). Should you wish to place an order by telephone, please speak to any member of our Cardiff team. You will not have to speak to a “tele-sales assistant” whose only knowledge of fishing tackle is the computer code!

Tight Lines,
