i notice bag up angling didn't waste much time putting up a billboard on the verge next to

tackle 2 fish now the shop has shut.

 

It's at the wrong end of town for me so don't know of Bag Up but you can't blame them for trying,

PS isn't it illegal to just to advertise on council property without permission.

Sad to read this, the guys were great and provided a dawn till dusk service in summer. Fishing has really changed since I was a kid, online shopping, including ebay and the rise of commercials over clubs have really affected the community aspect of fishing. Rivers are largely empty and tackle is now so cheap there must be little profit in it.

 

I have been back fishing since 05, I came back to it as part of my work for a charity for kids who run away from home. I was invited to work with a youngster who was in care and he had run away 95%of the last few months, back to very dangerous influences.

After taking him fishing, he stopped, started to build his life, before these influences took to a place he could not escape. Sadly fewer shops, fewer role models fewer anglers, fewer shops..

In the last 8years I can think of three shops that have gone in Sheff. Sad.

Over the last year I've been using the tackle shop/small warehouse across from the blue bell at Hackenthorpe, a great helpful couple who run it, the prices are good and have a great website, well worth a nosy.:thumbsup:

 

Whats it called?

Bag up Angling is a great place and the guys have made very sizeable donations for prizes to both our fishing matches so far for Lillie as has Tardis at Firth park, so please don't have a go at them for trying to preserve their business. It's not their fault the shop on Penistone Road shut down.

The unit at hacky is called MNP GROUP.NET, if you cant get the web site up on that adresse, just type in fishing tackle shop Hackenthorpe, that'll take you there.:thumbsup:
