rightsaidfred Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 For anyone visiting the area Wroxham Angling are now closed till they can find new premises, the nearest ones now are Horning, Ludham Bridge or Stalham. Fred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 What of Potter Heigham? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Heard the local 'gos' on this one this morning, boardroom politics, so I'm told. That aside Budgie Burgess still has his Bass-On-Line tackle shop in Horning. Whilst I know him well as an angler I've never visited his shop but I do hear others recommend it.

BroadAmbition Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 That's a surprise, never heard or saw that one coming. I'm familiar with the tackle shops at Ludham Bridge, Stalham and Potter Heigham. Where is the tackle shop in Horning, is it on-line orders only?

The bloke in there is incredibly helpful, lives above the shop and will serve you out of hours if you ring his doorbell. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnoar Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I’ll stick my head above the quay heading and suggest the bottoms dropped out of the keepnet for tackle shops maybe, it’s all on line these days. And what impact is fewer moorings having, less spots to fish I expect. And what with more holding tanks and crayfish.... We’reel doomed? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely right. Not for me to spread the gos but the old premises was more than adequately viable. The closure was not of AD's making, be assured of that.

I think there is a lot more by the way of good quality competition now than there was. We have a good tackle shop at Horning in Bass online and another at Ludham Bridge, both of which sell the same sort of products, often at better prices and with friendly service to boot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffbroadslover Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 If Wroxham is left without a tackle shop I can imagine the size of the queue at the maggot machine on a busy Saturday in mid summer!!! That is assuming that it still has some stock left in it !!!! Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnoar Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Jeff, is Baggit with Maggit still alive and wriggling in Wroxham? Must be a collectors item, a real vending time machine, is it the reel thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing Griff not for everyone. the childrens clothes shop was a bit expensive but one of the few places selling such goods that thinks boys don't just wear jeans or joggers. You could get decent boy's smart trousers there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishtone Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I noticed this morning that the former Wroxham Tackle shop is reopening as a Pet Food /Tackle shop. No date for opening but will be a bit better for locals as you can park in front of the shop.Also good for holidaymakers moored that side of the bridge.

Jbx5 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Look like it’s the same people from the pet shop at the bottom of Wroxham bridge which is now empty (any one for another take away )! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rightsaidfred Posted April 28, 2019 Author Share Posted April 28, 2019 I understand that Mark will be reopening the old tackle shop in Station Road shortly, it will be good to see him back with his font of local knowledge and helpful advice, hopefully people will walk the extra few yards to support him.

Fred Does this mean that all of a sudden Wroxham has three shops selling fishing tackle, Mark's shop, Angling Direct and the pet food shop?
